Chayla Vazquez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I was naturally introspective, curious about psychology and understanding my own family system. However, I did not always feel comfortable pursuing a career in the field due to the mental health stigma. I have since challenged and continue to grow in my own pursuit of breaking away from beliefs and systems that are no longer serving the person I am today. I want to help others live a thriving, full, and authentic life. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #161042) who has experience working with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have worked in the outpatient setting since becoming a therapist in 2022. I utilize an eclectic approach to meet the needs of each client and I am trained in EMDR.

Some seasons of life ask more of you than you ever expected, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. I work with teens, parents, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the heavy stretches that come with big life transitions. I care deeply about supporting LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and families who want to understand and show up for one another a little better. So much of this work is simply remembering that you do not have to carry any of it alone.
