About me

I am passionate about helping people. Healing and happiness are big words in my life. I believe that life is full of changes, those transitions can present emotional and psychological challenges that can be better addressed in a supportive and nurturing counseling environment. I believe that brokenness, challenges and life transitions can be restored when an individual partners with a trustworthy and compassionate professional to rediscover strength and acquire skills to deal with these transactions and unlock the treasures that lie within. There, we find the Essence of our Joy. I am passionate about family, therapy and helping others. My innate compassion for people and my clients compels me to whole heartedly focus on promoting fast healing.

I am from Brazil and love helping people from all cultures.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a MS in Clinical Psychology but my most important credential is a heart for helping people, and I would love to help you too!

Luciana is wonderful at listening and really get to the root of the issue. She offers helpful resources outside of therapy sessions such as books, worksheets, etc.

I've been very reluctant to pursue therapy in my life despite having significant issues that would have been much better addressed through counseling. I've only met with Luciana Alves twice but am feeling very supported and feeling weights I've carried my whole life lightening. I look forward to our continued therapy sessions.

Love spending time with Luciana. She is attentive and uses a variety of methods to analyze and assist. Superlative!

Luciana is absolutely fabulous! I’ve only had one session with her and I feel understood and cared for and helped. She’s such a great listener and very kind hearted and sweet. You can really tell that she cares about what she does and her patients by how she speaks and address this you. She is so great and I’m glad to have her as my therapist.
