I’m Erick Chavez

I’m a bilingual male MFT-student, supervised by Nelliana Acuna

Currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Houston – Clear Lake, I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and skills to better support you on your journey to emotional well-being. My exploration into the complexities of the human mind began at the University of Houston Downtown, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

Taking the path of self-discovery and healing is a courageous endeavor, and as a bilingual male therapist proficient in both Spanish and English, I offer a unique perspective. Recognizing the challenge of finding a supportive space tailored to men’s needs, I want to assure you that you are not alone.Understanding that each person’s journey is unique, my approach goes beyond stereotypes. While I grasp the broader challenges men face, I am dedicated to seeing you as an individual with your own story, struggles, and strengths. Together, we can strive for personal growth, emotional well-being, and the development of effective coping strategies.

In a world where societal norms often dictate how men express emotions, seeking therapy can feel like breaking down barriers. As a male therapist, I bring profound insight into the unique challenges men encounter, including societal expectations, familial responsibilities, and the pressure to be a 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 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. Together, we can work towards creating a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Embarking on therapy is a brave decision, and I commend you for taking the first step. As a bilingual male therapist, I am dedicated to being a partner on your journey – offering support, understanding, and guidance. Let’s break the silence surrounding men’s mental health and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Reach out today, and let’s start this transformative journey together.
