Evelyn Chavez, AMFT

I am a trauma-informed therapist who is dedicated to helping children/teens, adult individuals, and families to work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism spectrum challenges.

Stress and trauma can leave you feeling constantly on guard, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Even when life looks “fine,” your body may still carry what your mind can’t let go. You might notice fatigue, tension, irritability, or feeling emotionally numb. I help individuals and families struggling with past trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, and relationship wounds. I help clients to rebuild safety within themselves, find peace, and reconnect with a sense of safety and purpose. I believe healing begins when you stop surviving and start feeling safe again.

My holistic approach integrates advanced somatic trauma treatment, attachment work, and narrative therapy to process the impact of stress and trauma stored in the body. I also offer practical tools from CBT and DBT to help you build regulation, resilience, and lasting change while feeling grounded, balanced, and supported throughout your healing process.

I also understand how heavy it can feel to carry layers of identity, expectation, and experience. Whether you’re neurodiverse, first/second-generation American, or part of the LGBTQ+ community, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a safe, affirming, and trauma-informed space where every part of you is seen, honored, and supported.
