Flor Chavez

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who is passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

My background in community mental health has allowed me to work with diverse populations across many stages of life, and I understand that every person’s story and healing process is unique. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships grounded in empathy, trust, and collaboration while helping clients develop practical tools to support long-term growth and emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens when clients feel emotionally safe and empowered to better understand themselves and their experiences. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic-based interventions, trauma-informed care, and CBT-informed techniques to support clients in developing healthier coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening relationships.

I also value the mind-body connection and incorporate somatic approaches when appropriate to help clients increase self-awareness, process trauma, and reconnect with their sense of balance and resilience. My goal is to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs and goals.

During the first session, clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where we begin getting to know one another. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and talk about your goals for treatment. I may ask questions about your personal history, relationships, emotional experiences, and coping patterns to gain a better understanding of how to best support you.

My goal during the first session is to help clients feel comfortable, heard, and hopeful about the therapeutic process. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and we will work together to create a plan that feels meaningful and supportive for your needs.
