Carol Alvarez, Tax Strategist
About / Who I Help
I’m Carol Alvarez, founder of Therapy Not Taxes (TNT). I empower self-employed healthcare professionals with practical tax education and proven strategies to legally lower their tax burden — without overwhelm or guesswork.
I’ve been a self-employed therapy practitioner for over 20 years and hold graduate-level training in taxation. My work bridges the gap between what healthcare professionals are told by CPAs and what’s actually possible when tax strategy is applied intentionally.
Through Therapy Not Taxes, I help clinicians understand their numbers, feel confident in their tax decisions, and keep more of the money they work so hard to earn.

Why I’m Different
I don’t just teach tax rules — I teach healthcare professionals how to actually apply them. Many of my clients were already working with CPAs and still missing key opportunities to reduce their tax burden.
Because I’ve lived the self-employed healthcare journey myself, my guidance is practical, realistic, and designed for real-world clinical businesses.
“I no longer dread tax time. With Carol’s guidance my tax anxiety is gone. I’m finally getting a refund instead of owing and my travel fund is growing.”
