About Paloma
Paloma Chavez is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of experience in California. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and big life changes. Paloma focuses on restoring self-worth and building practical coping skills for everyday life.
She aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. Paloma creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. She pays attention to cultural background and how life context shapes a person’s choices and feelings.
Paloma uses a mix of ways to work with clients depending on their needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused approaches when past hurt needs healing. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also appear when they fit the goals.
In sessions she helps people practice new communication and coping strategies. That can look like trying small behavior changes, noticing thought patterns, or learning tools to reduce overwhelm. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, workplace strain, immigration-related concerns, and family-of-origin issues.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Paloma helps people set clear, realistic goals and tracks progress together. Prospective clients should use the continue button on this profile to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
