Savannah Chavez, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Savannah!

I’m an LPC-MHSP, a child and adolescent therapist dedicated to helping young people and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and practical tools. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where clients can build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, and rediscover hope.

My focus

I work best with children, teens, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, or life transitions. My ideal clients are ready to grow, learn healthy coping skills, and build stronger emotional connections.

My approach

My approach is trauma-focused and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). I also utilize play therapy to create a safe and engaging environment where children and adolescents can process difficult experiences, build emotional awareness, and strengthen coping skills.

My communication style

I communicate with warmth, transparency, and consistency. I strive to make every session feel safe and validating while offering honest feedback, encouragement, and evidence-based strategies for growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own experiences with trauma inspired my passion for helping others heal. Since eighth grade, I’ve known I wanted to support children and adolescents in finding safety, understanding, and hope through therapy. That purpose continues to guide my work every day.

My goals for you

I guide clients toward their goals by creating a safe, supportive space to explore challenges and build coping skills. Using CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, and play therapy, I help each client discover practical tools for healing and growth.

Our first session

In our first session, I take time to get to know you through a brief overview of your life experiences, including any past challenges or trauma. This helps me create a clear and personalized treatment plan. My goal is for you to feel welcomed, safe, and never judged as we begin your healing journey together.
