Getting to know Douglas Alvarado

I am a solution-focused social work counselor who values creative and experiential approaches to therapy. I support teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional distress by integrating evidence‑based practices with mindfulness and creativity. My approach is collaborative, non‑judgmental, and geared towards helping you build practical skills, deepen self‑awareness, and reconnect with your strengths in meaningful ways. We can work through the tough times together.

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.
