SIMRANJIT (SONIA) CHAVEZ
LMHCA | CO-OWNER of GCC
Anxious Professionals | Adult Children of Immigrants
I believe therapy is a transformative process centered around your unique story, guiding you to gain self-awareness and navigate your life, relationships, and goals.
My approach is rooted in empathy, social justice, and culturally responsible care. As an immigrant individual, I particularly value working with first- and second-generation immigrants, as well as diverse populations, LGBTQIA+, and women dealing with anxiety, family conflict and estrangement, and various challenges in their lives. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures, identities, and orientations.
I don’t have the answers, but you inherently do. We will get there together. I'm excited to hear from you and be a part of your journey

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy | Late/Self-Diagnosed ADHD and Autism
You thought you had it all planned out but now you’re not sure who even made the plan. If one more thing goes wrong, you just might loose it. You feel like if you can get this one task/relationship/spreadsheet just right, everything else will fall into place. This is a common thread through my client’s stories.
I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. I am a kind and patient therapist who will also challenge you when you need it. Much of what I describe here, I have experienced too and it was tough. Together we can help you find the tools to live a happier life.
How We Work
We encourage humor as a part of the therapeutic experience because life is hard but also funny.
There is no judgment here. Ever.
We tailor sessions to meet your unique needs and vibe.
We treat you as the full and wonderful human being you are.
We will not pathologize your experience, meaning we won’t label your feelings or behaviors as disordered simply because they veer from the 'normal' or 'typical.'
We always be honest and authentic with you. We are in this together.
