My name is Cherie Chavez, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing integrative psychotherapy via telehealth statewide in California. In 2009 I began counseling adults coping with severe mental illness and complex trauma, to help provide symptom relief and improve their quality of life. Having a diagnosis can feel stigmatizing; reaching out for help so you don't go it alone can be empowering. I am very comfortable and most experienced in working with adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression.
Another demographic I am quite familiar with is military service members and their families. It is a unique culture that comes with its own set of hardships. I have both first-hand experience as the daughter of a retired veteran (having grown up on Army basis and moving often), and also working with veterans in an outpatient clinic.
My objective is to stay attuned and reflective of your narrative. Based on feedback from others, I can share that my style is very warm and responsive. I provide gentle feedback when warranted and aim to create an environment of mutual trust and respect.
