About
Hello, my name is Julie Alvarez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Over my life time I have obtained a high degree of knowledge through work, specialized training and a lot of life experience thrown in. If you are experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, any trauma or other stress related issues, I am here to help you. I work with all ages from adolescents to older adults. I also provide a safe and confidential environment to meet your needs. Utilizing a number of proven treatments together we can work towards your desired goals. My goal for you is to help you move towards the life you want to live.
My office is located in Rancho Cucamonga with day and evening appointments available.
Please contact me at (909) 477-7276 to schedule an appointment. I take your confidentiality very seriously and we can discuss this at our first meeting. Currently, I am accepting Aetna Insurance, and private pay (cash) payments, Zelle, and Venmo. I look forward to meeting you so let’s get our collaboration started!
My approach to helping
Our first session will include an assessment in which we will review your current concerns. My approach to working with individuals is tailored to your needs with the best practices to address your goals in the healthiest of ways. We will collaborate with your treatment goals, gain clarity into your concerns and explore those surrounding challenges. I believe we are the experts in knowing ourselves. I appreciate you and honor your desire to be a healthy version of yourself. I would like to offer my support and introduce new skills and tools to help you.
More Info About My Practice
I have worked with a variety of individuals and professions over the years. I have worked with first responders and provided Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), and with students in school settings. I have worked with individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts and have extensive experience in crisis interventions, coping skills and therapeutic services. If you are experiencing stress, feelings of sadness, feelings of being overwhelmed, loss of sleep, loss of self, please contact me and we can explore a path forward towards healing and strengthening.
Why Going to Therapy Can Be Beneficial to You
There are many people who could benefit from therapy who would never consider it because of a social stigma. There are many who believe they can get through a crisis on their own. Sometimes this is true but, often times people need to talk to someone who can guide them through personal or mental issues with the knowledge to help them reach their goal. It takes great strength and courage to cross the threshold into therapy and to examine oneself and attempt to make changes. Rest assured our sessions will be completely confidential. I honor and respect every person who makes the decision to walk through my door and seek my help.
