Hello! I’m Sandra V. Chávez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Psychological Assistant with the California Board of Psychology. I’m passionate about helping individuals grow both personally and emotionally through client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies. As a first-generation Latina, I learned ambition, tenacity, and determination from my parents. My educational journey includes dual bachelor’s degrees in Liberal Arts and Sciences and Psychology, as well as a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I’m currently on the path to becoming a licensed psychologist. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a nurse and briefly attended medical school in Southern California. That experience deepened my interest in understanding the brain, human development, and the impact of environmental factors on behavior. I specialize in supporting clients through mood disorders, life transitions, and self-empowerment challenges. My strengths lie in helping individuals develop emotional intelligence, identify, and understand their emotions. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique needs, which is why I use an integrative, eclectic approach that draws from evidence-based methods and holistic practices, including mindfulness and positive psychology. I also enjoy working with individuals who incorporate their faith into their mental health journey. For those open to incorporating their faith as a tool for healing, I create a safe, welcoming space where spirituality and therapy work hand in hand. I can provide sessions in Spanish for those who seek therapy in their native language. Above all, I value building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental environment where your thoughts and emotions are respected and where real progress can be made. Together, we’ll explore strategies, assignments, and tools that help you overcome life’s hurdles and achieve lasting personal growth and fulfillment. Let’s begin this journey together!

Life is a continual process of establishing and reestablishing various identities for ourselves, and sometimes that gets messy or confusing. Sometimes the ways we think and behave become incongruent with what we want and value. Sometimes we have a hard time knowing what we want and value. Sometimes external events or unforeseen challenges disrupt what we envisioned for ourselves and the future. It can feel tricky to navigate issues of identity development, change, grief, loss, anxiety, decision-making, relationship stress, disillusionment, and life transitions alone. But that's what therapy is for. Therapy with me is an opportunity for you to get to know and understand yourself on a level that you may not have experienced before. In a safe therapeutic relationship, we can begin to understand how historic and present experiences and relationships have shaped your sense of self and patterns of operating in the world. This insight empowers change.

I’m a therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and emotional challenges that feel hard to understand or manage alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. My approach combines practical tools with deeper emotional work. I draw from AEDP, CBT, DBT, and somatic techniques to help clients not only cope with symptoms, but also understand themselves on a deeper level and create meaningful, lasting change. I aim to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life and relationships.

If you are a client of Kaiser Permanente, it is necessary to obtain a referral from Kaiser before proceeding. Once you have received the referral, Kaiser will provide you with a link to schedule a session with me. I specialize in helping individuals as they navigate grief, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, and behavioral concerns. I understand that these struggles are not just diagnoses—they are lived experiences that can quietly shape how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you move through your day. Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background—keeping you on edge, overthinking, and emotionally worn down. Many people carry it for years without realizing how much it’s impacting their relationships and sense of peace. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep managing it by yourself. Depression is often misunderstood because it doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it feels like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, or simply going through the motions without feeling connected to your life. It can make even the smallest tasks feel heavy. But depression is treatable, and with the right support, it is possible to feel like yourself again. In our work together, I offer a space where you can be seen, heard, and understood—without judgment. My goal is not only to help you cope, but to help you reconnect with yourself, find clarity in what you’re feeling, and build a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and yours.

For more than 25 years, I’ve helped adults navigate transitional life challenges—whether related to depression, anxiety, relationship stressors, or addictive and self- sabotaging behaviors. I'm solution‐focused, goal‐oriented, compassionate, and client‐centered. I work collaboratively to identify practical steps forward, so we don’t stay stuck in the problem itself. Together, we’ll clarify what’s getting in the way and build tools that help you feel more grounded, capable and aligned with your values. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I will help you create meaningful, lasting change. To learn more about my approach, visit www.valued-directions.com. My clients tend to be thoughtful, self‑aware, and motivated for change, even if they’re running on empty. They’re looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative—someone who helps them understand their patterns, build healthier boundaries, and reconnect with their values. If you’re ready for grounded support and practical strategies to move forward, you’re in the right place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I will help you create meaningful, lasting change.​ In our work, we may focus on strengthening distress tolerance, improving emotional regulation, enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. You’ll leave sessions with insight, direction, and strategies you can use right away—not just talk. Visit my website at www.valued-directions.com to find out more about my approach to therapy

I am deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they explore and address the challenges they face.

I believe true change happens when we are able to confront and process difficult emotions, and I am here to support you every step of the way. In my practice, I use effective therapeutic techniques like Brainspotting and Culturally Competent approaches to help you work through the root causes of emotional distress. These methods allow for deeper healing and lasting change, helping you move past obstacles and embrace personal growth. I also ensure that your cultural background is always respected and incorporated into our work, creating a safe space where you can feel understood and supported. Having struggled to find a therapist who truly embodies these values, I am dedicated to providing an inclusive, affirming, and safe environment for all of my clients.

I'm so glad you're taking this step to prioritize your mental health—it's the foundation of everything else in life. As a mother of three young adults, including boy-girl twins and a neurodivergent daughter, and with experience as a psychologist, coach, and leader in both tech and education, I bring a wide range of lived experience to my work. I work with individuals and families at all stages of life, helping them release outdated mindsets and adopt empowering new ones by uncovering the root causes, patterns, and obstacles that hold them back. My approach integrates neuroscience, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and depth psychology, always focusing on creating meaningful connections that unlock new possibilities. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I hold an unwavering belief in each person’s boundless potential. By focusing on what truly matters, we can always transform challenges into opportunities.

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the Bay Area, but never truly appreciated it until I left and came back. I attended high school in Marin at the Branson School in Ross. After High School I left for Wheaton College in Massachusetts where I earned a B.A. in Psychology. I moved to Florida where I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Prior to earning my Masters in Psychology I spent a number of years working in child and adolescent residential treatment centers in both San Francisco and Orlando, Florida. It was at this time that I fell in love with working with adolescents, adults, and their families. After graduate school, I found myself working for, and soon thereafter managing, an inpatient treatment program for adolescents who had experienced severe trauma. I returned to California for good in 2011 where I started working as the Lead Therapist for the Adolescent Outpatient Program at Fremont Hospital. I opened a part time private practice in 2012 and transitioned to a full time practice in San Francisco in early 2013.

There is nothing more important than finding a good fit with your therapist as I believe this is fundamental in building rapport and creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I approach the first appointment as an opportunity to get to know your needs, goals for therapy and to assess the potential of working together. I work best with individuals who are motivated to engage in therapy with a positive mind and hopeful outlook.

Therapy for High-Functioning Adults Navigating ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Distress You may appear capable, accomplished, and composed while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unable to quiet your mind. Perhaps you are successful in many areas of life but struggle with anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, trauma responses, relationship conflict, or a persistent sense that you are not functioning as well as others believe. I work with high-functioning adults and couples who are insightful and motivated but continue to feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of. You may understand why you react the way you do and still find yourself becoming anxious, shutting down, overthinking, procrastinating, losing focus, becoming emotionally flooded, or repeating the same painful relationship dynamics. Who I Help I work with adults experiencing: ADHD, executive-functioning difficulties, procrastination, and emotional overwhelm Anxiety, perfectionism, overthinking, and chronic self-pressure PTSD, developmental trauma, and unresolved childhood experiences Relationship anxiety, attachment wounds, and fear of abandonment Emotional disconnection, burnout, and difficulty identifying personal needs Family expectations, cultural pressures, and people-pleasing Major life, career, or identity transitions I also work with couples who may care deeply for one another but feel caught in recurring cycles of conflict, defensiveness, withdrawal, resentment, or emotional distance. Couples therapy can help you understand the pattern underneath the argument, communicate more safely, and rebuild trust and emotional connection.

I believe in each person's capacity and ability to move toward a life that feels deeply connected, authentic, and alive. Together, we’ll work toward healing that is not only understood intellectually, but also felt emotionally and physically—helping you move beyond simply surviving toward feeling more present, secure, and connected. You may be carrying past hurts, difficult memories, or patterns of self-doubt. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions, helping you move through emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and feel safer and more grounded in your body.

I am a recently Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 10 years of experience in mental health and behavioral health. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families across a variety of settings, including schools, residential care, and wraparound services. My experience includes supporting people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, grief and schizoaffective disorder. For over 5 years, I worked in school settings, helping children and youth learn and understand themselves and build skills to increase resilience and self-worth. I supported students and their families navigate challenges, improve communication, resolve conflict, and build stronger, healthier relationships at home. I have experience working with clients ages three and up and currently support adults with acute mental health needs. As a granddaughter and former caregiver, I am especially interested in expanding my work with aging adults and am pursuing certification as an Aging and Mental Health Specialist. I believe every stage of life brings unique experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth, and I am passionate about helping older adults feel heard, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s transitions. I have personal and professional experience with ADHD and grief and I am dedicated to supporting clients and their families as they navigate these challenging topics.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, acute and chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, direct, and rooted in your strengths. I believe in open communication—if I have a question, I’ll ask it directly rather than make assumptions. In our work together, my goal is to equip you with practical coping strategies and support you in finding resilience and meaning, no matter what challenges you’re facing. Therapy with me is a space where honesty, growth, and empowerment go hand in hand.

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or stuck? You don’t have to carry it alone anymore. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, school-based issue's, and life transitions in a supportive, judgment-free space where healing and real growth can happen. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth — therapy with someone who truly listens and helps you move forward.

Life can feel overwhelming when self-doubt, fear of rejection, past hurts, or negative thought patterns keep you feeling stuck. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, gain insight into these patterns, and create meaningful change. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an insight-oriented approach, I help clients identify the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, we explore the challenges that are holding you back while building on the strengths you already possess. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. As you develop greater self-awareness and learn new ways to respond to life's challenges, you can begin making choices that support healing, growth, and emotional well-being. Change is not always easy, but taking the first step is often the most important. If you are ready to gain greater clarity, confidence, and peace, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

There are moments in your life where you may experience something for the first time. You may feel alone, overwhelmed or different. You are not alone. I support individuals that are seeking guidance in an unexpected and expected shift in their life. My hope is that you can leave sessions with me feeling like you can cross pollinate new tools and live a sweeter life. You don't have to carry the weight on your own.

An experienced medical social worker, my niche is helping those recovering from chronic physical and emotional pain, mystery symptoms, illness and disease processes (including infertility, maternal loss, peri/menopause, terminal illness, limb loss, and caregiver role stress). My clients often have chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia, back/neck/hip and other joint pains, pelvic floor pain, EDS, POTS, dysautonomia, CRPS, IBS, PMDD, and other chronic conditions. I especially love supporting those coping with feelings of low self worth, depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, and grief. I am importantly trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and EAET -- the most current research backed methods for recovering from chronic pain that I especially love to share. Because they work! I am also trained in EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and energy psychologies like EFT (aka “tapping”). I study Internal Family Systems Therapy, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and dream tending.  My authentic approach is also intimately informed by the wisdom traditions that have healed my own life. The mother of a child with a life threatening seizure disorder, I am not unfamiliar with suffering. I often turn to my spiritual faith, Jungian Psychology, nature, and the Wise Woman Herbalism Tradition. I am a life-long meditation, yoga, and reiki practitioner, and always a student of Buddhist Psychology. I find healing in stillness, puppies, humor, art, poetry, and the sacred. I love stories.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in helping individuals navigate profound life challenges, find resilience, and step into a place of true healing. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process pain, discover inner strength, and reclaim your narrative. My therapeutic style is integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed.

I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers a warm, grounded space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. My style is relational and attachment-informed—meaning we pay attention to patterns that show up in relationships, and how earlier experiences may shape the way you cope, connect, or protect yourself today. I’m also strengths-based and practical: we’ll build on what’s already working while using CBT tools to reduce overwhelm, challenge unhelpful thought loops, and practice skills that support steadier mood, boundaries, and healthier relationships. The impact my clients often experience is feeling more emotionally stable and confident in themselves, with a clearer understanding of their triggers and patterns. Over time, many people report improved self-compassion, stronger communication, more secure attachment in relationships, and an increased ability to tolerate difficult emotions without shutting down or spiraling. My goal is for you to leave therapy with both deeper insight and real-life tools so you can feel more connected, empowered, and able to live with authenticity and intention.

I have also provided a link below if you would like to look up some information before our first session. I have found this treatment to be powerful and effective, and in many cases to work faster than more traditional talk therapies.

I support adults navigating life changes, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and communication challenges. Together, we’ll explore what’s working and what isn’t, and find practical next steps that fit your needs and goals. I applaud your courage in exploring therapy and support. In a safe, compassionate space, we can work toward greater connection and a life that feels more satisfying to you. Let’s begin that journey together!

Hi, I’m Andrea. Do you find that you’re struggling to motivate yourself to do anything, or you’re sinking into increasingly negative feelings? Is your mind working overtime with worry, leaving you exhausted? Are you irritable and dread going to work each day? Are you suffering from grief and wondering if you'll ever feel normal again? I provide help for those ages 30+ experiencing lingering unhappiness, constant stress, excessive worry, work burnout, and grief. I am a direct, empathetic, warm and open-minded therapist who can help you find joy and ease in day-to-day life. I will empower you to recognize learned patterns that may no longer be serving you, and to motivate yourself from kindness, not fear or judgment. I incorporate self-compassion and mindfulness techniques with traditional talk-therapy, creating a space for you to build confidence in making decisions, both big and small, that truly align with your values. There is hope, and therapy can help. Let’s work together to get you fully participating in life again!

believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know that you don’t have to have everything figured out.

Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and develop practical strategies to help you move forward.

I believe that building a safe, nurturing, genuine, open, and honest therapeutic relationship is the best way to connect. First, I will help you figure out what you want and why.

Are you tired of relapsing?? Tired of struggling to stay sober?? My experience in the field of Substance Abuse allowed me the privilege of helping those struggling with addiction and mental health disorders as well as their families. I have worked in this field for the past twenty years and it has given me a compassionate perspective for those struggling to get and stay sober. I am enthusiastic and passionate about helping find unique and creative solutions to problems. Parents, would you like some peace in your home? Are you tired of the lying and manipulation? Need support dealing with a teen with addiction issues? I can help.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes therapy is more than managing symptoms...it's about understanding yourself. I bring warmth, humor, authenticity, and thoughtful challenges into a space where you can be human, explore your experiences, and feel genuinely heard. I'm naturally curious about the connections between our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and lived experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and honest. I believe in meeting you where you are while helping you discover where you want to grow.

I have always felt drawn to a career in a helping profession, and this work brings me a deep sense of fulfillment. It’s truly inspiring to witness the growth and progress my clients achieve during our time together. My experience spans various clinical settings, including LA County contracts, IOP/PHP programs, Wraparound (DCFS), and more. I approach each client as a unique individual, tailoring treatment to their specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone deserves care that aligns with their personal experiences and perspectives, and I strive to provide that in my practice.

I specialize in helping those getting better from difficult or unhealthy relationships, including survivors of domestic violence. My approach is warm, honest, and culturally attuned, so you can feel truly understood while also supported in creating real change.
