Mammie Chavira, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mammie!

For me, therapy is a place where you can be you, be free of judgment, and, most importantly, connect and feel understood with whatever struggles are taking place.

My focus

My experience and passion are working with teenagers and adults struggling with life transitions, societal challenges, and trauma, often accompanied by stress, depression, and anxiety. It is an honor to help navigate the underlying causes of these symptoms and learn coping strategies.

My approach

My approach in therapy is to give my clients the autonomy to identify their challenges and prioritize their own goals. I approach therapy with a client-centered lens, and my focus is always to set a safe place for my clients.

My communication style

My communication style is warm and encouraging. Creating a safe space and an accommodating environment in sessions is always my priority.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experience has been in working with at-risk youth and their families, dealing with abuse, adversity, and complex trauma. This clinical experience inspired me to further my education and continue to show up for those in need. This is truly my passion.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals is to encourage my clients to identify their own goals; in working together to find ways to cope and manage. My initial and ongoing goal is to build trust and connect with my clients.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll create a welcoming space where you can share openly about your concerns and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll begin to identify your goals and discuss how we can work collaboratively to support your journey.
