Flor Alvarez
AMFT
Hi, I’m Flor Alvarez, a bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) offering services via telehealth and in person in Riverside in English and Spanish. I have over 6 years of experience supporting individuals and families through Applied Behavioral Analysis and clinical psychotherapy, and work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions and relationship challenges.
Approach:
I believe in meeting clients with empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, while tailoring interventions to each person’s unique needs. My work integrates research-based therapeutic approaches, cultural responsiveness, and collaborative goal-setting to promote healing and growth. I also draw from my experience in behavior therapy to support skill development in communication, self-help, and social interaction.

Your First Appointment
In our first session, we’ll focus on creating a comfortable, welcoming space where you can share your story at your own pace. I’ll ask questions to better understand your goals, challenges, and strengths, and we’ll begin identifying the areas you’d like to work on. Together, we’ll discuss the therapeutic approaches that might be the best fit for you and set initial goals for our work. This session is also your opportunity to ask any questions about the process so you feel informed, supported, and ready to begin.
