Alvarado Therapy -

I've been a client of Patricia Alvarado at Alvarado Therapy for over a year, and her impact on my life has been nothing short of miraculous. As a senior leader in high-stakes jobs, I was grappling with severe burnout, depression, lack of direction, and overwhelming anxiety. My dissatisfaction with both my career and personal life seemed insurmountable. Thanks to Patty's expert guidance and EMDR therapy (I even did a 3-day intensive that significantly boosted my progress), my outlook and circumstances have dramatically transformed. I am now actively pursuing my passions and living a life I once only dreamed of. This might sound too good to be true, but over a year ago, I was in a dark pit of despair. Today, I am profoundly grateful to be in a completely different place—mentally, emotionally, and personally. I am proud to add that in less than a year, I built the confidence to pursue my dream of being a solopreneur. I also deeply appreciate having a therapist who understands the first-gen Latina experience. It’s a game-changer to work with someone who not only understands it but has lived it. Patty is an exceptionally supportive and skilled therapist, truly stellar at what she does. Highly recommended for anyone seeking profound personal growth and healing.

I cannot recommend Yesenia highly enough. From our very first session, her warm and inviting presence made it easy for me to open up about childhood challenges I had long suppressed. Yesenia’s innovative and authentic approach to therapy helped me confront these issues in a way that felt safe and empowering.

What truly sets Yesenia apart is her ability to blend traditional therapeutic techniques with modern insights. She encouraged me to explore my past while also focusing on my personal growth and future goals. Her guidance helped me not just to process my experiences but to transform them into opportunities for self-discovery and resilience.

Yesenia is particularly attuned to the unique experiences of women, making her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to address past issues while also striving for personal growth. I left each session feeling lighter, more empowered, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.

If you're a woman seeking to heal and evolve, Yesenia is the therapist you need. Her passion for helping others shines through, and I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made with her support.

Highly recommend Alvarado Therapy, especially Patricia Alvarado, who I have gotten to know these last several months. Beyond her expertise in the mental health field, she continues to grow and develop as an expert and therapist. She's extremely knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, and knows how to build trust very quickly! She is also your biggest cheerleader and celebrates your wins. I can't recommend Patricia enough!

I strongly recommend Patricia Alvarado's work. She and I went to grad school together, and worked closely together in a clinical setting quite a few years ago. As a clinician, she is an empathic, warm, knowledgeable, caring and a skilled clinician who has a way of making others feel at ease quickly. She is great at what she does, has a fun sense of humor, and is down to earth and incredibly kind.

Patricia is the real deal! I highly recommend her as a therapist to my friends and loved ones. As a clinician, she goes above and beyond to create an open, non-judgmental space for her clients. I feel safe, heard, acknowledged, and welcome during our sessions.

I highly recommend Alvarado Therapy to anyone looking for a Therapist. I have personally know Patricia Alvarado for approximately 20 years and have always admired her strong work ethic and her ability to accomplish any goal that she sets her mind to.

She is empathetic, professional, extremely knowledgeable in the field and has always been very detail oriented. Her private practice has bloomed beautifully because of her love and dedication to her clients, mental health and the clinicians that she brings on board. Patricia has participated in various media segments, is a published author, a mentor, a trainer and more! more! She is without a doubt one of the best in the field!

Some of the most open-minded, innovative and caring therapists out there. It’s so rare these days to come across professionals that truly care about the people they serve, and these therapists definitely do. Their approach is result oriented so the client can see and feel(!) the results faster! I’m so lucky to have come across these professionals and sincerely recommend them to people in my circle.

I've known Patricia for nearly a decade as a colleague from community mental health and now as private practice psychotherapists.

Patricia is highly intuitive, personable, and insightful as a therapist, while also choosing the clinicians on her team wisely. She incorporates an expansive understanding of systemic issues that impact communities of color, and has a holistic mind-body approach to the healing process. She specializes in a trauma-informed approach, such as EMDR (which is one of the most effective trauma models) and is an author of a trauma journal which provides resources to bridge the gap between self-help and therapy.

I highly recommend her as a seasoned clinician.
