Hello. I'm Esmeralda Chavez, a California-licensed family and marriage therapist. I have been practicing for 6 years and specialize in Trauma. I offer a direct approach, which includes assertiveness and honesty. I welcome you and extend my empathy with a nonjudgmental space to explore and develop a plan to guide you in your journey toward healing. I believe that you are the professional of your life, and therapy should be what you desire it to be.
Clients can expect to be met with active listening and transparency.
My 10 years of experience working with both youth and adults who have experienced trauma.
I enjoy exploring learned behaviors that stem from trauma and encouraging clients to be curious in understanding to unlearn these said behaviors that impact their day-to-day lives.
Trauma Focused CBT is an evidence based approach that addressed the needs of individuals that have experienced difficulties related to trauma.
