About me

My name is Sylvia Fernandez Chamberlain. I have been a licensed Marriage, Family Therapist for the past 30 years. I have a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Humboldt State University. I graduated in 1982. I majored in dance and Native American Studies. I have a Master’s Degree from Antioch University in Clinical Psychology. I graduated in 1989. I supervised Graduate Trainees to be licensed as Marriage, Family Therapist through Antioch University from October 2020-December 2021
For years I struggled with my own early childhood trauma. After years of movement and studies in Native American Philosophy and Culture that addressed my personal identification, I felt more in control of my personal traumas. I was able to heal myself through movement and years of yoga meditation. All of which led me to believe that I could benefit others in their journey to heal.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Theory, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment Therapy to assist clients in recognizing their challenges and healing their hurt and pain. I am hopeful that I may do the same for you. I check my messages several times a day and will respond to your request within 24 hours.

Sylvia is refreshing. I’ve never had a therapist like her. I am going to give it a go w meditating and praying, being the Catholic girl that I am!! She is also honest in her responses which I thoroughly respect.

Sylvia is thoughtful and very caring. Her years of experience working in therapy shows in the way she communicates and I have built a lot of trust with her. I always look forward to our conversations and I appreciate how she keeps me accountable when it comes to my mental health. She always reminds me to be kinder to myself. She is an amazing therapist.
