About Sylvia
Sylvia Chamberlain is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience in California. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a BA in Theatre Arts from Humboldt State University. Sylvia draws on a long personal and professional journey that includes movement practices, yoga, and meditation to inform her clinical work.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction. Sylvia also helps those dealing with relationship conflict, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and compassion fatigue.
Sylvia blends several practical methods in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Somatic approaches bring awareness to how the body holds stress and trauma. Narrative and attachment-based ideas help people rewrite painful stories and rebuild secure connections.
Her style is grounded and movement-informed, with an emphasis on learning tools clients can use between sessions. She has supervised graduate trainees toward licensure and checks messages frequently, responding within 24 hours. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Many people come for help with depression and for support navigating major life changes. Sylvia aims to create a space where someone can talk through immediate problems and also practice new ways of coping over time.
