Jessica Alvarez, LICSW

Hello, I am currently taking clients for bariatric evaluations and counseling. As a bariatric patient myself and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 12 years of experience, I understand the journey you are on. My mission is to provide compassionate, convenient, and professional mental health evaluations for individuals preparing for bariatric surgery. My goal is to empower you with insights and tools to navigate not only your surgery but also the lifelong journey to health and wellness. Together we will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with bariatric weight loss and I will provide you with practical strategies for maintaining long-term success and vitality post-surgery. What to expect: Convenient evaluation process with online mental health inventories. Within 48 hours of completing your inventories, I will personally reach out to schedule your mental health interview. Interviews take 20–40 minutes and can be conducted via phone or video call, with flexible scheduling options, including evenings and weekends.
