My goal is to provide a safe healing sanctuary for trauma survivors and those wanting to improve their mental health. Processing feelings and memories, along with regulating your nervous system is hard work. Often when starting therapy, things may feel worse before they get better. Healing is not linear, so the journey ahead can be bumpy. I’m here to go through it with you. You don’t have to do it alone. Along the way, we’ll work together to develop skills to help you manage your nervous system and reconnect with yourself so that you can return to or perhaps discover your authentic self.

There’s wisdom in the ways we’ve had to be to survive - it’s important to honor that. Yet at some point, we can move beyond survival and into fuller living. I specialize in working with people who feel “different” and those who want to break patterns (intergenerational or their own). These folks are often trans, nonbinary, exploring gender, LGBTQ+, immigrants/children of immigrants, and BIPOC. I also support parents, particularly of LGBTQ+ children or who are LGBTQ+ themselves, as well as men who felt “too sensitive” or had to be “strong” and want to explore a masculinity that’s right for them.

Are you rocking that 'got-it-together' facade, but deep down you're really falling apart? You're not alone. Life's throwing punches, and the struggle is real. You're seeking direction and clarity, but you feel stuck, caught in self-doubt, and trapped in "stay or leave" dilemmas. The uncertainty is unsettling and you start questioning everything about your relationship…and yourself. Whether it's your marriage, career, or the sheer weight of everything around you—I get it. It's like having a hundred tabs open in your mind at once, making it hard to think straight and perform as you envision. You're exhausted. It's time for a change.

My name is Cherie Chavez, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing integrative psychotherapy via telehealth statewide in California. In 2009 I began counseling adults coping with severe mental illness and complex trauma, to help provide symptom relief and improve their quality of life. Having a diagnosis can feel stigmatizing; reaching out for help so you don't go it alone can be empowering. I am very comfortable and most experienced in working with adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression.
