Cherie Chavez, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Cherie! My name is Cherie Chavez, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing integrative psychotherapy via telehealth statewide in California. I earned my Bachelor's degree from California State University, Northridge. In 2009, I began counseling adults coping with severe mental illness and complex trauma to provide symptom relief and improve quality of life. Having a diagnosis can feel stigmatizing; reaching out for help so you don't go it alone can be empowering. My approach My approach to therapy is eclectic: both an art form and a science; highly intuitive yet supported by data. I consider the wholeness of one’s being—from physical to etheric—and believe true healing begins when an individual honors and accepts their own truth. Methodologies I often incorporate include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Ultimately, I aim to help clients come to their own realizations within a safe, non-judgmental environment. My focus I am most experienced working with adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. Many clients also have symptoms of complex trauma. I am familiar with military service members and their families—a unique culture with its own hardships. I have first-hand experience as the daughter of a retired veteran (having grown up on an Army base and moving often) and working with veterans in an outpatient clinic. My communication style My objective is to stay attuned and reflective of your narrative. Based on feedback, my style is warm and responsive. I provide gentle feedback when warranted and aim to create an environment of mutual trust and respect. My journey to mental healthcare I have a background in business administration and initially thought I would be an accountant—before discovering my passion for mental health and therapy.
