Mariaeliza Chavira, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mariaeliza!

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults. I am trained in multiple modalities used to address issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My focus

I typically work with clients who are struggling with challenges in their lives that are impacting how they interact with others and/or how they view themselves.

My approach

I take a strength-based approach to empower my clients to use the skills we develop in treatment to handle stressful situations. I am passionate about helping others and building their confidence and resilience. Life is designed to challenge you, but you can learn to ride the storm.

My communication style

In session, I like to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment filled with support, positivity, and laughter. I meet my clients where they are at emotionally and spiritually while empowering them to explore tools and techniques to implement in their daily lives.

My journey to mental healthcare

Throughout my life, I have had a passion to help others. Growing up and having to navigate through my own adversities in life, my passion for helping others has grown stronger and stronger. I want to empower others to find their voice and to find strength within themselves to get through their own challenges.

My goals for you

I allow clients to identify their own strengths and areas of growth.

Our first session

When you work with me in therapy, you might catch yourself feeling very comfortable when we meet, in part due to my welcoming and friendly personality. I create a safe and nonjudgmental environment filled with support, positivity, and laughter. During our first session, we will review policies and procedures, and then begin an assessment.
