Greetings, I'm a licensed psychotherapist in Florida with extensive experience supporting men and women through life's most challenging moments. My work focuses on helping people to navigate stress, anxiety, and anger management, while also addressing deeper concerns like guilt, shame, and posttraumatic stress.

Welcome! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Board-Certified Music Therapist, my goal is to create a safe, deeply affirming, and non-judgmental environment where you can show up exactly as you are. I specialize in Grief & Loss (including Pet Loss), Aging and Life Transitions, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Substance Use/Recovery, & Caregiver Stress issues. I work with adults (aged 18-100) in individual and group sessions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Anxiety – Stress – Worry? Not wanting to face the day?

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have over 10 years working with a variety of people seeking help for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, grief, and life changes. A little bit about my style – I am laid back, and create a non-judgmental environment, that is safe, and supportive. My approach is a mosaic of techniques to help people to focus on their strengths, developing skills to manage life challenges and get unstuck.

Relocation, career change, relationship struggles, childhood experiences, trauma, codependency, grief and loss, and addiction are sometimes slow to develop or occur unexpectedly. My style utilizes evidenced based techniques, creativity, mindfulness, and media to spark discussion.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual ADHD therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, and chronic follow-through difficulties.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time.

This foundation allows me to help individuals, couples, and families address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

I work with adults who may feel stuck in patterns that are affecting their relationships, recovery, self-esteem, or overall quality of life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and eating disorders, as well as mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Many of the people I work with have spent years using unhealthy behaviors to cope with difficult emotions, trauma, perfectionism, or painful beliefs about themselves. You may understand intellectually that something needs to change but feel unsure how to actually break those patterns. My goal is to help you understand where these patterns come from, develop healthier ways of coping, and begin creating a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, live music, thrifting, cuddling my animals, reading, and outdoor activities.

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.
