Cultural Identities

About Deborah Alvarez, AMFT

Feeling anxious, disconnected, or just plain exhausted by the state of the world? You don’t have to hold it all by yourself.
I work with humans navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, identity exploration, and life transitions. Many of my clients are Latinx, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, immigrants, empaths, or people pleasers. I have immediate availability for those feeling impacted by current events.

As a bilingual, Puerto Rican therapist, I offer individual, family, and couples therapy in English and Spanish. My practice is grounded in liberation psychology, which honors the impact of systemic oppression and cultural context on our mental health. I believe healing happens when we center our truth and values with curiosity, compassion, and practical tools.

If this speaks to you, I’d be honored to meet you. Let’s start with a free 30-minute consultation. ALL are welcome here. Immigration status is confidential. El estatus migratorio es confidencial.
