Laura Alvarado, LICSW

It’s more important than ever to prioritize your mental health and emotional well-being. Finding a therapist can be an overwhelming process, and it’s important to find the right fit. To make progress towards your goals and to create sustainable change, you need to feel comfortable with the therapeutic process and trust your therapist.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space.

I’m passionate about the work I do and genuinely want to support you. In order to figure out if we can work well together, I offer a free phone consultation.

I’m honored to have years of experience providing therapy to a diverse population of clients facing a range of mental health and interpersonal challenges. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and strengths-based. I work together with my clients to develop goals and treatment plans. I assist clients in gaining insight into the underlying issues that are causing current symptoms, as well as identify personal strengths and resources that can help facilitate the change they desire.

In each session, I am focused on my clients and their unique needs, and tailor my approach accordingly. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
