Andrea Chavez, LMFT Associate
(She/Her) |
Counselor:
Adults, Couples, Families, Teens
Andrea believes relationships of all kinds are central and essential in our lives. She strives to have a collaborative relationship with her clients, as she believes that people are experts of their own stories, and her job is to help them uncover the best for themselves. Andrea believes that self-understanding and self-compassion are foundational to personal growth. She creates a warm, therapeutic environment and ensures that every client feels heard in their unique struggles.
Andrea works with couples, families, adults, and teens who are experiencing relationship concerns (romantic, platonic, and/or familial), life transitions, anxiety, and immigration stress. She is fluent in English and Spanish. Her practice is informed by attachment and psychodynamic theories, as well as internal family systems (IFS) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Andrea’s dedication to supporting couples at the start of their journey led her to become a facilitator for a premarital program, which offers couples assessment tools to help them identify areas of growth and strength.
The interactions we have with each other can be very influential in how we think, behave, and react. Because of this, Andrea utilizes a client-centered approach with a systemic lens specifically fostering the relationships she creates with her clients. As the saying goes, people do not exist in a vacuum, and Andrea stands behind that!
Andrea is supervised by Brittany Whallen, LMFT-S.
