Montserrat Chavarria, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Montserrat! I recognize that taking the first step to seek therapy can be a scary yet courageous decision. I offer a supportive, safe space where clients can express and develop different ways to find their journey to healing and find their inner strength. Whenever you are ready to begin, I would be honored to be part of your journey. My approach I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, utilizing a client-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment lens. I use models such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), yet tailor each session to each client's individual needs. My goal is to help you feel safe to share your story, make sense of your experiences, and move toward reaching your goals. My focus I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem and are seeking a space where they can be supported and understood. I also work with clients who want to understand their emotions better, navigate relationship challenges, or are going through life transitions. I support clients in processing their trauma, helping them explore how the past may be showing up in the present. Together, we focus on building emotional strength, deepening self-understanding, and moving towards healing and growth. My communication style I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and free to speak openly without the fear of judgment. I listen with warmth, empathy, and presence, and offer reflections to help clients feel seen and understood. I offer a collaborative space and use validation and encouragement to support each client's emotional growth. When appropriate, I bring humor and lightness as a way to connect and meet clients where they are. I aim for each conversation to feel genuine, supportive, and emotionally safe.
