About Me
Eva Chavez
My hope and focus is to help you on your journey to feeling like your best self. Life doesn’t always present itself in the way we want, and that’s okay, we learn to adjust the sails to what life throws at us. As Jordan Dane once stated: “A journey takes time. And the lessons we learn best, they come from the journey, not the destination”. I aim to work with you on achieving that sense of self that best speaks to you.
As a child born of two Salvadorians, I speak, read and write fluent Latin American Spanish, and can provide therapeutic services in both English and Spanish. I graduated from George Mason University in 2021 with a B.A. in Psychology, and decided to pursue my Master in Clinical Social Work at Catholic University.
Before joining the Kindred Tree team, I worked closely with neurodivergent college students. Providing affirming college based support that was in harmony with their neurodivergence. Together, we worked on gaining successful coping, organizational, and academic study habits. Working with young adults has helped inspire my deeper love for supporting neurodivergent people of all ages. I take joy in celebrating neurodiversity by affirming and uplifting the truth that our autistic, ADHD’r’s and highly sensitive people see the world differently and honoring that perspective means supporting their experience, rather than forcing our neurodivergent selves to conform to how everyone else operate within our predominant neurotypical world. At Kindred I’m also specializing in supporting children, teens, and adults navigate healing from trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, school and peer based stressors. As a Latina therapist I also provide specialized support for survivors of cultural and race based trauma.
When I’m not working or attending grad classes, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, my dog and my friends. I love reading a good book, embroidering a good pillowcase or enjoying some yummy food.
