Tony Chavira

Tony Chavira

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Tony and my therapy practice is a space of hope, clarity, and limitless compassion. I'm an LMFT with 2 years of experience in private practice, 7 years as a psychotherapist, 11 years providing group support, 15 years as a case manager, and 20 years as a sociologist and community activist. I combine a wide range of impactful psychosocial and somatic approaches to support your freedom, safety, and boundless growth... with ACT, EFT, and Somatic Abolition as my grounding.

Most importantly, my work honors the weight you’ve had to hold during these painful times, and the care you’ve given while also sometimes struggling. Maybe it's been harder to cope lately and you're feeling lost. Maybe you're overburdened, or even totally depleted. Together, we can journey to a new place of relief, discovery, and steadiness. My work is about reconnection, growth, and finally feeling truly supported. You've deserved real care all along. I know it.

Jordan Tanner

Jordan Tanner

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I believe that meaningful mental health care starts with trust, compassion, and genuine connection. Over the past 15 years, I have worked across a variety of healthcare settings, including trauma nursing, emergency nursing, and nurse leadership roles, caring for individuals and families during some of life's most challenging moments. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, empathy, and respect.

My commitment to mental health care is also shaped by personal experience. Like many people, I have witnessed the impact of mental health challenges in my own life and among loved ones, which has deepened my understanding of the courage it takes to seek help. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable discussing difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.
