I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas. I have 18 years of professional experience in mental health, case management, and training & education. I have ample experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma, abuse, & anger among many others mental health issues and disorders. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am very empathetic and my number one goal is to create an open and safe environment where my clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I am laid back and in my professional interaction display culturally humility with every one of my clients. I understand that everyone is a unique individual, with a diverse background, who may not share commonalities with me. I am always open to learn about my clients background, and by no means will appear to be the expert in their life experience. I want to have my clients feel welcomed and supported through their many diverse life stressors. I do not take a cookie-cutter approach to therapy, but instead, focus on the client as an individual, and tailor a therapeutic intervention that will best help my client in feeling supported while they work on achieving their therapeutic goals. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I want to be the first to commend you for taking this step and look forward to getting to know you and forming a strong therapeutic alliance.

Aleida has helped me tremendously. She has helped transition me from a place of complete instability and hopelessness, to a place of inspiration and increasing stability. She is a great listener. She listens to understand, not just respond. She understand my thoughts and emotions in all of their complexity. Out of 4 therapists in a year, she is the first one to click with me and offer the kind of care I’ve been looking for. Not only does she offer kindness and support, she’s very good at helping me understand thing from a clinical perspective, which helps me gain awareness of symptoms and change my behaviours. I would highly recommend her!!!

I have been seeing Aleida for about 16 months now; my case is mainly Complex PTSD. Aleida has been invaluable in my life; a compassionate therapist who listens, acknowledges and provides a heartfelt approach to have grace with oneself, try again, and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Aleida has always been on time, always responded promptly, and even has gone out of her way when things were really bad (which happened often). So to say things as they are and how Aleida has been a superhero therapist in my journey managing so much complex trauma from childhood, and which naturally needs a lot of time to unfold and heal, is the only right thing to do. I can definitely say that I am healing thanks to Aleida’s incredible and consistent support. I was so lucky to be matched with this phenomenal, non-judgmental, and gracious counselor who might very well be one of the main reasons I am still alive today. Thank you, Aleida. <3

She is an active listener, kind, non judgmental. But she cares that you take active steps in your healing. She's super knowledgable and I learned a lot from her expertise.

I think Ally is great! In just one session she was able to give me a different way of looking at a situation that caused me so much upset and unrest. In doing this, I am able to deal with the situation in a way I never thought possible. I am so glad I found her!

Aleida has been a real help and confidante to me in the last year. I am very grateful that I was able to be connected to her through an app which provides so many great tools and resources. I am grateful for her ability to listen, understand, relate, and provide actions and materials for me to work on, and read, as I am able. She does her best to provide everything she can to decrease your suffering, or at least give you tools to get through it. She is a lovely human.

Aleida has been instrumental in my finding myself again, after experiencing mental abuse while in a relationship with a narcissist. I am stronger now mentally than I think I’ve ever been in my life. She’s so easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I highly recommend her… she’s definitely helped me improve my mental health.

Aleida is a wonderful therapist and has been so helpful in the short time I’ve been seeing her. She listens and shares the tools I need to work through my challenges. She’s always there for me to bounce my thoughts and experiences off outside of sessions via messaging. I can’t say even about how much she’s helped me.

Aleida is the third therapist I tried on BetterHelp and I am so grateful that I found her! What stands out about Aleida is that it's easy to see that she's passionate about being a therapist and helping people work through whatever it is that they need to work through. She is very intelligent and is always prepared with helpful and relevant insights, quotes, worksheets, etc.
With Aleida I feel like I'm making much faster progress than I did with other therapists. I 100% recommend therapy with Aleida!

Aleida Chavez has been very helpful and supportive throughout the hardship I've faced. She's a very good listener and is able to give me another perspective on things without being antagonizing. I also greatly appreciate that she's able to keep the discussion on topic and that she asks a lot of questions, especially about things I do not necessarily mention but that are often very relevant.

After our first appointment I immediately learned things about myself that I had not yet uncovered after years of expensive therapy. Aleida not only listens but provides valuable input, concrete exercises to really think through. This is the first therapist that has truly been interactive and shared her own relatable experiences.

Aleida Chavez is very professional, caring, understanding, supportive and helpful to mention a few that come to mind. She has helped me a lot in my journey and made it possible for me to come out as a transgender MTF and gradually work on my exposure therapy amongst some. In my opinion she is a great therapist and to my benefit, she is amazing at makeup :3

Aleida has been a great support in the little time that I’ve known her. I felt very safe to open up to her quite quickly which has allowed us to already dig a bit deeper into the patterns and situations that are present. She is very professional, yet very kind and personal. I’m really grateful for our match.

I had to change 2/3 therapists due only to timing availabilities and lack of response or compassion sometimes. But then I had to talk to Aleida and she changed the whole experience for me!!! I am truly amazed and i have seen a progress even with the way i think or feel. It has all been different since i talked to her. I am so happy and i have already recommended her to two friends of mine!!! Thank you Ali❤️
