Getting to know Kristina Alvarez

Hi, my name is Kristina. I love to help people overcome obstacles in their lives, including but not limited to relationship problems, anxiety, low moods, work burnout, major life transitions, or self-esteem issues. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego. I use a Person-Centered approach to therapy and apply evidence-based practices such as CBT and Solution Focused. I facilitate a therapeutic space of non-judgment and curious exploration to foster self-discovery and deep healing from trauma and adverse experiences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our first session together is about assessing what problems there are to address, answering any questions you may have, and mapping out the treatment goals. As we build rapport and take this therapeutic journey together, you may feel challenged at times, introspective, self-assured, or even "lighter" emotionally.

In-network insurances

Kristina Alvarez, LPCC has 150+ in-network plans.

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.

Kristina is a fantastic therapist! She's very caring, remembers lots of details, and is challenging as well
Sessions have been very helpful in working through my issues...
I feel she listens well. She tries to gently ask the questions that make you think. It seems to be going good so far, first month in therapy.
Kristina is absolutely amazing! She never rushes you and is willing to take all the time you need to open up about anything you want to talk about. She makes it very clear that your session is your time to spend it how you want and is very comforting and easy to work with
Kristina is younger than the age I had originally preferred for a Therapist, as I am a LCSW who has been licensed for 22 years. Kritina has proven that age doesnt mean a thing. She has taught me things about myself and even new therapy styles that I can bring into my own practice. She is very positive, yet challenges me gently to change. She offers a lot of suggestions. Kristina was available in my worst moments when I needed therapy twice a week. She has helped me to get over some big obstacles in one of the most difficult times in my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Therapist.
I’ve been looking for a good therapist for a long time and finally found one! Kristina is knowledgeable, gives good feedback, recommends solutions and helps you find your own. She is understanding, humorous, authentic, and never makes you feel judged.
