Hello, my name is Viridiana Alvarez, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate.
My educational background consists of graduating with a Bachelor’s in Education from University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and continuing my education to obtain a Masters in Education at Sul Ross State University.
I have 17 years of experience working with children, families and adults in different capacities, but mainly to help and guide them.
I work collaboratively with individuals to address a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional well-being. My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, professionalism, and ethical care, with an emphasis on helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their existing strengths. My role is to provide guidance, structure, and evidence-informed interventions tailored to each individual.
My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in empathy. I aim to create a professional and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to speak openly and explore concerns at their own pace. Therapy is not about having the “right” answers—it is about having a space to ask meaningful questions and receive thoughtful support along the way.
