I've been seeing Paloma for about five months now and I feel like I've grown so much. I've been able to process a lot of pain and trauma while also finding ways to cope with present challenges. Our therapeutic relationship has also grown, and I feel like I can talk to her about anything and everything. She validates me and acknowledges my feelings while helping me to find my own answers to my problems. It's been such a great experience with her, and I definitely see myself staying with her long-term.

Although I have on scheduled two sessions with Ms.Chavez, she has been so patient and helpful. I do not feel awkward or pressured to say everything I want in that moment. She lets me ease into my concerns that I need help with. She also isn’t serious the whole time of the session which allows me to feel more comfortable while speaking with her.

As a licensed therapist in California, I bring 13 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with compassion and resilience. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and life transitions, with a deep commitment to understanding multicultural experiences and individual journeys.
My approach is rooted in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop stronger communication and coping strategies. I have extensive expertise in working with young adults, women's issues, social anxiety, workplace challenges, and trauma recovery.
I am passionate about helping individuals reconnect with their sense of self-worth, overcome isolation, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My therapeutic style emphasizes cultural sensitivity, respect, and collaborative healing, honoring each person's unique story and potential for growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
