Getting to know Jayla Alvarez

My name is Jayla Alvarez. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Fresno, California. I work from a collaborative approach because I believe my clients are the experts in their own lives. Creating a safe space is essential as I support clients through processing and healing from issues that impair their well-being. My goal is to help clients become autonomous, increase self-awareness, develop coping skills for stressors, and find purpose in their lives. I earned my Master's in Professional Clinical Counseling from Alliant International University. I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Discipline, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, mindfulness approaches, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I have experience working with young children, adolescents, and adults through mandated, community-based, and school-based services. Currently, I am focusing my treatment on adolescents and adults. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly process their concerns. While I tend to be direct with observations and input, I respect that it is ultimately the client's decision whether to use my suggestions. My interest in mental healthcare began during my first psychology course in high school. This interest grew from realizing that some family members faced mental health challenges but did not receive treatment due to stigma. As I continued my education, I became motivated to break down barriers around mental health, connect individuals to resources that improve well-being, and help them find harmony despite life's stressors.
