My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, providing a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and authentically. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, unlocking your innate potential for growth, resilience, and fulfillment. As a therapist with over 10 years of experience in the field, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective care to individuals of all ages. Drawing from my extensive training and expertise, I integrate a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and others, to address a wide range of mental health concerns. Whether my clients are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, or mood disorders, I work collaboratively with them to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and goals. My approach emphasizes building healthy coping mechanisms, improving emotional self-regulation, and enhancing communication skills to empower clients in navigating life's challenges with resilience and strength.

In-network insurances

Maria Alvarez, LCSW has +3 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.
