I believe therapy works best when it feels human, so let me start by telling you a little about me. Outside of session, you will usually find me outdoors. I take long walks with my husband and our dachshund. I spend as much time in nature as I can, I go to yoga classes, longboard and sing. Those things keep me grounded, and they are part of why I believe so much in the value of small, sustainable practices that bring you back to yourself.

In my practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and questions of identity. I also support people through family issues, relationship struggles, stress and burnout, ADHD, and grief. I am inquisitive, warm, and not easily rattled.

Alvis Duncan

Alvis Duncan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gainesville, FL


Hi, I’m Alvis — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Gainesville, FL.

Before counseling, I spent years in the health and fitness industry in New York City, helping clients who felt stuck or overmatched in their goals. I later trained in spiritual wellness at St. Andrew’s Church here in Gainesville. Both experiences taught me the same lesson: real growth means working with mind, body, and spirit together. It brings me immense joy to see my clients go from stuck to flourishing.

I work with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and college students.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, family and couples counseling, and life transitions.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Winter Haven

Searching for therapists in Winter Haven starts with finding someone whose background matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that connect to your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and help people work toward their goals.

In a smaller city like Winter Haven, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, focus areas, and fit in one place.

Therapy in Winter Haven can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are ready to take new patients. You can enter your insurance details, view estimated costs before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
