As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I serve clients in Humboldt County, California who have educationally related needs. I work with children, teens, and adults, providing psychoeducational evaluations. I hold a BA in Child Development and a MA in Psychology: School Psychology; both from Cal Poly Humboldt. I am an LEP, a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, and a credentialed School Psychologist in California.

I believe the development of a secure and collaborative relationship is the most important aspect of the work I do with clients. Working from a strengths-based and relational perspective in a trauma informed manner, I have experience working with youth, families, and adults using a multi-theoretical approach including Attachment theory, Cognitive-Behavioral theory, Family Systems, Narrative therapy, Internal Family systems, Somatic techniques, art therapy techniques. I am also trained in Surf Therapy for Trauma Recovery and am developing my ability to offer surf therapy as a healing modality for clients as well as Ecotherapy.

My work blends stress management, mindfulness, guided imagery, communication skills, anger management, family counseling, parenting skills, and trauma work. I have experience with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, medical stress and chronic pain, ACA/codependency, PTSD, and Panic DO. My work is neurologically based, client centered, and solution focused.

Hello, my name is James Chavers. Thank you for taking the time to read my counselor profile. I am a clinical psychologist licensed and living in California. I earned my master' and doctorate in clinical psychology at Antioch University Santa Barbara. I have worked and trained in locked settings (jails and prisons), community health clinics, and colleges and universities for nine years. I have worked with older adults living with HIV, addiction, and life course diseases, inmates of all genders preparing to transition out of locked settings, and students from 18 to over 50 navigating the difficulties of college life.

Currently accepting new group clients only (see group info at bottom of this page). I currently have a waitlist for individual clients. I believe effective solutions are as diverse as the people seeking them. When you have consistently struggled with procrastination, disorganization, inconsistent focus, and feeling overwhelmed, identifying those solutions can feel like a daunting task. For neurodivergent folks operating in a world tailored to neurotypical brains, that task can feel insurmountable. Feeling burned out and overwhelmed by the demands and pace of the world around you? Let's work together to shift that.

Entering therapy takes courage and commitment so it will be my first priority for you is to create feelings of safety and trust. I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, develop, and grow. You and I can work together to identify inner conflicts, clarify beliefs, and release limiting patterns to support you in living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with individuals and adolescents.

I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and trauma to cope in a more balanced and healthy way. Is anxiety a constant in your life? Are your life circumstances causing you to feel like life is closing in on you? Does the trauma of the past hold you back from experiencing life to the fullest? I'm here to help through empathetic listening and by providing you with effective tools to cope with the things that are weighing you down. I truly understand how trauma, anxiety, and depression can feel, and I'm here to help support you as you learn healthy coping strategies to take control over them.

The clients I work with benefit the most when they embrace the comfort and discomfort that comes with building a therapeutic relationship. Reading all the blurbs is an excellent way to get brief insight into the character of a potential therapist, but whether or not someone will be a good fit is a difficult question with so many options. We know the relationship you build with your therapist is the largest indicator of success. With that in mind, go with your gut! Enjoy the process and embrace the change or help you seek.

Assisting individuals, couples, and families to increase awareness of their own power to heal, sustain, and grow in response to life challenges.

Our therapists work collaboratively with you to identify meaningful objectives, track progress, and celebrate achievements. Choosing to prioritize yourself and seek therapy is a significant step toward prioritizing your mental health and well-being.

Welcome. I'd like to let you know how I see therapy. For me it is important to provide a trusting, compassionate and understanding atmosphere so people can feel safe to explore, discover and develop basic qualities and skills necessary to grow and heal. I am a mindfulness, body-based psychotherapist who teaches the profound healing power of heartfelt awareness and how it can help people free themselves from negative and painful thoughts, beliefs and emotions. What I see happening with people who come to me is a belief that if they can control and avoid their pain and suffering it will go away.

A creative approach to counseling permeates the therapeutic environment. I have a wide range of therapeutic modalities that I utilize depending upon client need..These include: art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, cognitive behavioral, client-centered, and existential approaches. I am fluent in American Sign Language and all ages are welcome. Due to nine years working at Loma Linda BMC, I am able to help a variety of psychological issues conflicting clients. Empathy, Accountability, and Searching for Truth are personal components.

My practice is relationship focused. I particularly enjoy working with couples and have found that if couples are willing to put the work in, great strides can be made towards healing and connection. I have completed two levels toward certification in the Gottman method of couples therapy and have also done training in the Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. In my work with couples and individuals, I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy.

My journey in the helping professions began as a Case Manager in 2008 and continued in various mental health settings including crisis work, county court, and rehabilitation centers, as a Mental Health therapist since 2014. I am skilled in Psychoanalytic treatment and work effectively with those struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, women’s issues, and Post Traumatic Stress. Having grown up in E. Los Angeles, later moving to the Bay Area and then desert cities, I have grown adept at working with a large range of populations from a variety of diverse backgrounds, including adults, adolescents, and LGBTQI.

I make it a priority to respond to every call by the day's end and also offer the flexibility of weekend appointments. My goal is to help others find relief from the cycle of difficult thoughts and emotions that arise from a variety of life circumstances, whether adjusting to new events or dealing with a life-long struggle. Learning new skills, perspectives and being heard can be transformative. Your life-story, your beliefs and your strengths are of paramount importance. I strongly believe in acceptance, compassion and hope, offering these at all stages of our work together.

We all need help getting through difficult times. I am available to work through those times with you.

I specialize in working with transitional-age youth and young adults age 14 and up. I guide each session with a social justice and trauma-informed lens to support your mental, emotional, and social development. This includes supporting you in managing practical life challenges such as education, employment, and interpersonal communication, as well as more complex obstacles like imposter syndrome, financial values, and intimate relationship dynamics/composition. If you are interested in beginning your journey toward becoming more a confident, introspective, emotionally balanced individual, I will be here every step of the way.

Everyone has within them the capacity to heal. Sometimes, though, it’s helpful to have someone come alongside of you on your journey. As an infant-family early childhood mental health specialist, I work with children and families across physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental domains, employing a strong attachment-based approach while also using cognitive-behavioral, narrative, family systems, and solution-oriented frameworks. I also love to work within a Christian framework if so desired by the client and/or family.
