Hi, I’m Dr. Alvarez,
Though not limited to this list, my top specialty areas are in the Expressive Arts, Jungian Psychotherapy, Holistic Therapy, and Post-abortion Stress Syndrome. Most importantly, I have gone through a lot in my life. There are times when I didn’t know if I’d ever be ok, or even survive, but eventually, taking it day-by-day, step-by-step, I did. I fought through having a broken heart (many times actually), being a single mom, getting through school, and arriving at the point I’m at today, speaking to you right now. And I’m doing this, because if I could do it with all the obstacles against me, so can you. There’s always Hope; as long as we’re here, living, breathing, and seeking. If what I am saying resonates with you, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to connecting. Dr. A.
