About Michelle Álvarez

I wanted to be a psychologist since I was in third grade. Now, after 20+ years working as a one, I love it even more than I expected. I’m lucky to have had a diverse range of professional experiences. I’ve worked in a maximum security prison, the VA, large private hospitals, small clinics, community health centers, an advocacy center for abused children, nursing homes for the elderly, private practice, and even backstage in theatre productions targeted toward creating awareness and social change, conducting fake therapy with make-believe characters.
