Hi, I’m Iris Alvarez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona and a Florida Out-of-State Telehealth Provider.
I help women who seem to have it all together heal childhood and relationship trauma, break free from unhealthy relationship patterns, and reconnect with themselves.
Many of the women I work with are strong, responsible, and deeply self-aware. On the outside, they may look like they are managing life well. Inside, they may be exhausted from overthinking, questioning their worth, people-pleasing, or feeling like they lose themselves in relationships.
My goal is to create a therapy space where you do not have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or carry it all alone. Together, we slow down the patterns, understand where they come from, and begin creating relationships that feel safer, steadier, and more honest.
Specialized Therapy for Women
My work focuses on childhood trauma, relationship trauma, attachment wounds, betrayal trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and unhealthy relationship patterns.
I use a compassionate, trauma-informed approach and bring specialized training in EMDR, Post Induction Therapy, and sex addiction treatment.
Healing is not about blaming the past or staying stuck in it. It is about understanding how earlier experiences shaped the way you learned to survive, protect yourself, connect, and cope, so you can begin to feel more secure in yourself and your relationships.
