Hi! I’m Dr. Cari Alvarez
I’m a licensed psychologist in Orlando, Florida, specializing in neuropsychological evaluations for children and offering practical support to parents.
I work with families who are seeking clear answers, actionable guidance, and compassionate support when their child is struggling emotionally, academically, or behaviorally.
At WellBunch Psychology, my goal is simple: help families understand what’s really going on — and what to do next.
Your Child Deserves an Expert
I began my career as a school teacher, giving me firsthand insight into how learning, behavior, and emotional challenges show up in real classrooms. That experience shaped my belief that children thrive when adults truly understand how they learn and regulate.
I’ve trained and worked across schools, hospitals, community clinics, and nonprofit organizations, and approach each child with both clinical expertise and real-world perspective.
