Meet Cathy

Cathy Bermudez Alvarez, MA, LMHC
Florida License #MH9529

As the owner of Counseling with C.A.R.E. LLC and someone who understands the struggle involved with sudden and traumatic loss; I provide counseling with Compassion, Acceptance, Respect and Empathy to all of my clients.

I value and honor the process of creating a confidential, comfortable and supportive atmosphere, so that people can safely explore sensitive topics and life experiences that are not usually shared with the general public.

The sudden loss of my own grandfather and the traumatic loss of my mother in childhood lead me towards studies in Criminology and Psychology as I longed for answers to very difficult life questions.

I ultimately earned my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida, became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an MHC Supervisor in the State of Florida, and an EMDR Institute Trained Clinician.

I have been in private practice since 2009 and have had the privilege of providing treatment and support to clients of all ages.

My life experiences with trauma, grief and loss have created a burning desire and motivation to assist those who are suffering from the long-term effects of chronic stress as a result of unresolved grief and trauma.

I am also passionate about assisting people gain the knowledge, skills and social supports necessary to build a solid foundation for functional and healthy living even before experiencing any major life altering event.

My goal as your therapist is to assist you in alleviating distress, help you tap into your inner strengths & resources while stimulating personal growth so you can live a joyful, healthy, purposeful and productive life.

My clients learn to love, respect, and care for themselves while newly discovering the value of listening to their inner voice. They learn the importance of effective communication and the ability to set appropriate boundaries and limits with themselves and others in order to experience healthy and fulfilling relationships.

I believe that with the appropriate guidance, plan and support, we all can create a vibrant and meaningful life while role modeling that journey in a powerful way for our children and future generations.


“LIFE IS SHORT, LIVE IT…
LOVE IS RARE, GRAB IT…
ANGER IS BAD, DUMP IT…
FEAR IS AWFUL, FACE IT…
MEMORIES ARE SWEET,
CREATE & CHERISH THEM.”
~UNKNOWN
