Paloma Chavez, LMFT

Paloma Chavez is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. Her work also addresses trauma, grief, parenting strain, and career concerns.

Paloma uses straightforward conversation and proven therapy methods to help people untangle overwhelming emotions. She draws from client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice thought patterns that make anger and anxiety worse.

Mindfulness practices are introduced in short, practical ways so clients can use them during a tough moment. She also brings psychodynamic and trauma-focused perspectives when looking at how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions tend to focus on skills to manage strong feelings and on understanding the patterns that keep problems repeating.

People who contact Paloma often want help with communication problems, control issues, family of origin difficulties, or the strains of adoption and foster care. She also supports those dealing with immigration stress, financial worries, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.

Paloma works with adults to build better coping strategies, clearer boundaries, and steadier day-to-day routines. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients set goals and try practical steps between sessions.
