You Want Your Child to Feel Safe, Seen, and Whole

You’re a parent who loves fiercely—even through the confusion, guilt, and distress. More than anything, you want your child to feel safe in their body, secure in their relationships, and understood in their emotions. You want to break cycles, not repeat them. You want to offer your child the stability and healing you may have had to fight for yourself.

Understanding the Struggle

Your Child Is Struggling—and So Are You

Life hasn’t been easy. Maybe your family has faced violence, sudden loss, or complicated circumstances. Now, you’re watching your child struggle—unable to enjoy learning, connect socially, or find joy in the everyday. Their spark feels dimmed. Their moods have shifted. Their behavior seems unfamiliar. And you’re left wondering: What happened? How do I help?

You may also be noticing:

  • Uncontrollable behavior at home or school

  • Sibling rivalry, low self-esteem, or constant conflict

  • Social or separation anxiety

  •  Emotional distress tied to learning differences

It’s painful to witness your child suffer—and isolating to carry the weight of not knowing what to do next. You’re not alone. And your child’s story isn’t over.

Guiding Children and Families Toward Safety and Joy

Hi, I’m Mariana Chavez, a bilingual therapist specializing in trauma-informed care for children ages 4–10 and their families. I offer a space that’s culturally attuned, emotionally safe, and grounded in compassion.

Together, we’ll help your child process what’s been hard to hold—grief, guilt, loneliness—and move toward healthy attachment, joy, and development. And we’ll support you, too. Because healing isn’t just for your child—it’s for your whole family.
