Gillermina Alvarado

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable speaking with me about anything and feeling safe, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I was in the field of education. Working with children in a classroom setting would not allow me to help children on a deeper level. That was my inspiration to become a therapist to help others resolve trauma and other stressors in life.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.
