I’m Erick Chavez

BA., MFT Therapist in training

Currently enrolled in the Master’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program at the University of Houston – Clear Lake, I’m dedicated to expanding my knowledge and expertise to better support you on your path to emotional well-being. My commitment to understanding the intricacies of the human mind began at the University of Houston Downtown, where I majored in Psychology and Philosophy, earning both a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

Embarking on the path of self-discovery and healing is a courageous step, and I am here to offer a unique perspective as a male therapist. I understand that finding a supportive space tailored to the needs of men can be challenging, and I want to assure you that you’re not alone.

I recognize that everyone’s journey is unique, and my approach goes beyond stereotypes. While I understand the broader challenges men encounter, I am committed to seeing you as an individual with your own story, struggles, and strengths. Together, we can work towards personal growth, emotional well-being, and developing effective coping strategies.

In a world where societal norms often dictate how men express their emotions, seeking therapy can feel like breaking down barriers. As a male therapist, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges that men face – societal expectations, familial responsibilities, and the pressure to be the pillar of strength. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without the weight of societal stereotypes.

It’s not uncommon for men to feel hesitant about opening up or seeking support, but vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. In our sessions, I encourage an open dialogue where you can express yourself freely. My goal is to foster an environment where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to navigate life’s complexities.

Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, career transitions, or dealing with stress and anxiety, I am here to provide male-centric support tailored to your unique needs. I want to assure you that we can collaborate to carve a path that aligns with your values, providing:

Guidance in navigating expectations according to your comfort and values.
Coping mechanisms for pressure and associated anxieties.
A supportive approach tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel heard and backed by others.
A safe, non-judgmental environment to explore thoughts and feelings without societal stereotypes.
A space for personal growth and emotional well-being.

Embarking on therapy is a brave decision, and I commend you for taking the first step. Reach out today, and let’s start this transformative journey together.
