Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples & Sex Therapy, Discernment Counselor, Healing Separation, Co-Parenting, Non-Adversarial Divorce Support
My clients are couples and co-parents that are dealing with communication issues. I offer them a peaceful and private setting where we develop actionable small steps that they feel they can take to improve how they respond to the negative communication cycles and triggers they are experiencing. I help each of them to take ownership of changes that they each can make rather then blame their partner or co-parent.
Please see my Services, Qualifications and Testimonials page on kelleyhopkinsalvarez.com to learn more.
I also incorporate stress-reduction, mindfulness strategies in my work with you. I have trained with mindfulness masters Pema Chodron, Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer. Mindfulness helps you to regulate your emotions and lower your stress response, all which helps you to manage conflict and make better decisions in your relationship.I believe that when you continue to incorporate positive aspects into your life that you both can begin to "rewire" the ways in which you think and behave with each other.
At times, it's necessary to some take some time to slow down and just take a breath, in doing so, blood pressure and heart rate lowers and you have more power to think clearly.
My office is also very relaxing, which fosters a therapeutic feel, allowing you, the clients, to become more at ease to share what's most important to you.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.
