Cristina Alvarez

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, or figuring out career transitions. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside gardening or getting my steps in around the neighborhood.

Yen Clark

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person

13009 Spring Hill Drive, Spring Hill, FL

Hi, I’m Yen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is truly passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported. My journey in healthcare began many years ago as a Medication Technician and CNA, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and meeting people exactly where they are. I later earned my Bachelor’s degree in Public Health, became a Registered Nurse, and ultimately pursued my calling as a PMHNP.

These experiences have shaped the way I care for others. I understand that every person’s story is unique, and my goal is to walk alongside you with understanding, warmth, and respect. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or simply seeking a space to feel grounded again, I’m here to support you and your family on your path toward healing and emotional well-being.

Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.


You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.


My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.
