Getting to know Sarah Chavez

Hi there, I'm Sarah! My name is Sarah Chavez, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Psychology from Brandman University. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and am particularly passionate about helping clients activate and enhance the strengths within them to overcome adversity. I look forward to getting to know you! My approach Theoretical orientations that I frequently use or pull from include Client-Centered, Humanistic, Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, Cognitive-Behavioral, Interpersonal, Emotion-Focused, Narrative, Family Systems, and Psychoanalytic. My focus I typically work with adults in overcoming the barriers to their goals. I also enjoy assisting couples with bridging the communication gap to empower them to resolve conflict. I have experience working with justice-impacted individuals and those involved in child welfare or domestic violence circumstances. I am comfortable treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, identity issues/exploration, parenting concerns, sexual problems, pornography/sex addiction, and drug/alcohol addiction. I am also happy to assist and support you if you have a loved one suffering from any of these conditions. My communication style My approach is client-centered. You are the expert of your world. My goal is to meet you wherever you are emotionally in each session, following your lead through the details of your life. As I get to know you better, I work to create a comfortable, friendly environment that doesn't feel overly clinical, so our professional relationship can truly do its work in allowing you to navigate your problems with someone by your side. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up as an introvert, I've enjoyed listening to the stories of people's lives since I was a child. As I developed my professional career, I became passionate about the resilience within each person and being privy to watching them blossom into their true, empowered selves.
