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.

Words can't describe the relief I have knowing I found a therapist that understands, and makes me feel comfortable to be me. Reassurance that being myself isn't wrong. This is off the first meet by the way, that should say a lot!!!

I had a very constructive first session with Esme. I already feel better about taking the first step and getting started with therapy, and am looking forward to continue my treatment with referral for medication support.
