Claire Chavarria, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Claire!

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns and challenges. I'm passionate about helping you navigate what brings you to therapy with warmth and understanding.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, anger management, grief, self-esteem concerns, and addictions including internet and video game addiction.

My approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Trauma-Informed CBT. I also incorporate Play Therapy and specialize in Geek Therapy, harnessing gaming, hobbies, and fandoms to facilitate healing and growth.

My communication style

I create a warm, collaborative relationship built on trust and open communication. I listen attentively to your unique story and tailor my approach to your individual needs. Through our work, I'll support you in developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and tools to navigate challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep fascination for the human mind and a desire to make a positive impact in people's lives. This passion has guided my path to supporting individuals and families in their healing journeys.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you to live a more fulfilling, authentic life. Together, we'll identify and build upon your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-compassion and resilience as you work towards lasting positive change.

Our first session

We'll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll listen carefully to your concerns, gather relevant information, and collaboratively establish goals. This is your opportunity to ask questions, express your hopes, and determine if we're a good fit.
