Learn. Grow. Heal. with Dr. Patrice Alvarado's online and in-person mindfulness classes.

Patrice Alvarado, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience dedicated to fostering better mental health and well-being through providing psychotherapy services, teaching and training clinicians, and conducting workshops and programs.

The inspiration behind using botanicals to symbolize mental health on our mindfulness website is rooted in the profound connection between nature and well-being. Just as plants require care, patience, and nurturing to thrive, so do our mental and emotional states. By featuring botanical imagery, we aim to convey the idea that, like a garden, our minds can flourish when tended to with mindfulness and self-compassion. Nature's vibrant colors and intricate designs also mirror the intricacies of the human mind, reminding us that, just as every leaf is unique, so too are our individual experiences and paths to mental wellness.
