GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.
