Elise Alvarez

Hi there, I'm Elise!

I work with adults and adolescents who are seeking to gain an understanding and connection to their emotions in a holistic, embodied manner. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ population, Intimate Partner Violence, and ERP for OCD.

My focus

I tend to work with women, LGBTQIA+ people, and anyone looking for more clarity and connection to their emotional experiences. I also specialize in body image issues, relational conflicts, and trauma. I also have extensive training in OCD and utilize ERP.

My approach

I am deeply passionate about bringing the body into therapy through somatic interventions, while acknowledging and working with how bodies are perceived in society. Emotional expression is my main goal in all of the sessions. The modalities I use the most often are Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and ERP.
