About

As a social worker for approximately 20 years I worked with various age groups in different agencies. My work experience includes working with children in crisis, special education, families, individuals, marriage /couple counseling, homecare and the elderly population.

As a psychotherapist with an agency of social workers I provided counseling to individuals, families and couples for a few years.

As a clinical social worker I worked with children and their families who experienced cognitive, emotional , behavioral and social needs and challenges for several years.

I have a Masters In Social Work from Fordham University in New York City as well as certification with the Academy of Certified Social Work (ACSW) from the National Association of Social Workers.

I am certify as a Professional Life Coach and I have guided many of my clients in achieving their best outcome both in their personal and professional lives.

As a clinical social worker I have worked with children, their families, individuals and couples for several years. I provided services, programs and therapy to address strengths and develop weaknesses. I am also fluent in the Spanish language.

As a therapist I like to guide my clients to seek solutions for their concerns objectively. There is a challenge and a satisfaction for me to be able to go through this journey with my clients in order to achieve their goals and comfort level.

Anthony C.

My wife and I have been in therapy with Ms. Elsie Alvarado to address problems that were affecting our marriage. Although my wife suggested we try therapy to help us, I was skeptical about discussing personal issues with strangers. I eventually agreed to try it.
Ms. Alvarado has been supportive and sensitive in discussing our concerns. As a result, my wife and I have learned to communicate and listen to each other.
Ms. Alvarado is conscientous, and demonstrated respect and professionalism with my wife and me throughout our time in counseling with her. We have been comfortable and confident with her services.
