Getting to know Jinger Alvarez
Hi, I'm Jinger Alvarez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I know that life can be overwhelming at times, and whether you're facing anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where we can work together to help you find clarity, healing, and balance.
With over 22 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I've had the privilege of helping people through some of life's toughest moments. I take a Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioral approach, meaning our work will be rooted in warmth, collaboration, and practical strategies to help you feel more in control of your life.
As an immigrant who has lived in Los Angeles for over 40 years, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing cultural identity, family expectations, and personal growth. My own journey has shaped my deep empathy for the struggles my clients face, and I'm passionate about creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard.
Whether you're navigating career stress, relationship difficulties, or simply trying to make sense of where you are in life, I'm here to walk alongside you. Therapy is a place where you can pause, reflect, and start moving toward the life you want. I'd love the opportunity to support you in that process.
Let's take that first step 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.
