Getting to know April Alvarez
It is my goal as a therapist to provide my clients with the utmost support during their most trying times. I have worked with children, adults, and families in crisis. Asking for help should not be seen as a weakness but as a strength, and being strong enough to recognize when you need emotional support to improve your quality of life is something to be proud of. I thoroughly enjoy building relationships with my clients while supporting them on their journey to become their best selves.
I began my career in this field after volunteering in the community, providing emotional support to individuals nearing the end of life. These individuals experienced a range of emotions, and I found the work to be extremely profound and rewarding. This inspired me to pursue a Master's in Social Work at the University of Southern California. I have over nine years of direct practice experience working with various populations and levels of illness severity.
My experience spans hospital settings, including the emergency department, NICU, ICU, oncology, postpartum units, and outpatient mental health crisis clinics. I have found my niche in therapeutic direct practice, helping individuals grow and overcome emotional obstacles that disrupt their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session I will go over HIPPA and make sure you are comfortable with the telehealth platform and then complete a full intake assessment to truly navigate what stressors or life transitions you are going through and then we can develop a treatment plan moving forward to best help and alleviate any negative symptoms. Each session will be driven by you with guidance and encouragement as we complete treatment goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
