Getting to know Anthony Chavira

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA #145793) relational psychotherapist, sociocultural critic, and former professor. My work centers on bringing compassion, understanding and moral depth to our relationships, friendships, communities, and ourselves. I care deeply about treating you fairly, honestly, and with the respect you’ve deserved all along. My clients have included those impacted by childhood traumas, ongoing psychosis, human trafficking, incarceration, and traumatic grief. There is nothing I cannot bring compassion to in the therapeutic space--every part of you, even the darkest and most pained, are allowed and accepted in my space. I am also the former president for a non-profit affordable housing advocacy. I have three masters degrees, in clinical psychology, globalization theory, and media criticism. I explore how power, culture, and history impact mental wellness. I have a fair IQ and warm sense of fairness. I’m on the recovery journey too. I’ve run grief groups for those who’ve lost a parent, as well as those who’ve lost spouses after 60-year relationships. I’ve supported children who’ve been human sex trafficked to recovery and insights. I’ve supported incarcerated men as they process psychosis, drug addiction, and trauma in a forensic setting. I’ve supported victims of domestic violence from many different sexes, genders, orientations, and expressions. I’ve undergone multi-year experiential guidance from thanatologists, anti-racism practitioners, abolitionist community leaders, and Mexican and Peruvian curanderos.
