Supervision & Consultation
Highland Park, California
Nadia Alvarez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy Supervisor Candidate.
Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision for prelicensed clinicians seeking to deepen their therapeutic skills and grow in confidence. Supervisees will develop expertise in an integrative approach that blends attachment-based, mindfulness-informed practices within a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed model—grounded in a strong commitment to social justice.
Drawing from years of experience across a range of settings—including schools, community mental health, PHP/IOP programs, and private practice—I provide a supportive, collaborative space to help you grow into the therapist you aspire to be.
EFT Supervision
NELA Therapy is now offering supervision for clinicians who are looking to deepen their work with couples or who are on the path toward EFT certification.
As a Certified EFT Couples Therapist and Supervisor Candidate, I integrate over a decade of experience in attachment-focused, trauma-informed care to support therapists in growing their confidence and skill.
Supervision can focus on:
Strengthening your grasp of EFT interventions and the EFT Tango
Deepening attunement with clients and tracking the cycle
Addressing blocks
Honoring intersectional identities and holding space for cultural complexity within relationships
Consultation
With over 10 years of teaching experience as an adjunct professor at California State University, Fullerton, 7+ years as a licensed therapist, and a background in community mental health consulting, I offer tailored consultation services for organizations, schools, and clinical teams. I specialize in trauma-informed care, culturally responsive practices, and attachment-based approaches. Whether you're developing mental health programming, seeking case consultation, or aiming to build a more inclusive and effective team, I bring a collaborative, real-world perspective grounded in clinical expertise and systems awareness.
