About
Welcome! I'm Fernanda Alves a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a mission rooted in compassion and a commitment to your well-being. With licenses in both Florida and Massachusetts, I bring over ten yearsof experience in various settings, including outpatient, school, and private practice. My passion lies in helping individuals of all ages - children, adolescents, and adults - overcome mental health challenges. Having navigated my own journey with anxiety and ADHD, I understand the complexities of suffering and the limitations of talk therapy alone. Armed with a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach, I am dedicated to guiding my clients toward tangible progress. I believe in a warm and compassionate yet firm and challenging therapeutic style. You won't find me simply validating feelings; I'm here to support transformative change.
