About Bithia

A therapist who meets you exactly where you are

Bithia Chavez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Phoenix, Arizona, dedicated to helping people heal from trauma and navigate life's most challenging seasons. Whether you're carrying the weight of painful experiences, moving through grief, facing the end of a marriage, or simply feeling like the ground has shifted beneath you — this is a space built for you.

Her approach is trauma-informed at its core. Bithia understands that trauma doesn't just live in our memories — it lives in our bodies, our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. She creates a space where those stories can finally be examined, rewritten, and released.

Life transitions — divorce, identity shifts, loss, new parenthood, career changes — can leave even the most resilient person feeling unmoored. Bithia works with both men and women who are ready to stop just getting through it and start genuinely healing.

Areas of Focus

Where healing finds its home

Bithia offers thoughtful, evidence-informed therapy across three core areas — each one a landscape she knows intimately, and navigates with care.

Grief & Loss

Grief doesn't follow a schedule. Whether you're mourning a person, a relationship, a dream, or a version of yourself — Bithia provides a compassionate space to honor your loss and slowly find footing again. No timelines. No judgment.

  • Bereavement & loss of loved ones
  • Disenfranchised grief
  • Life transitions & identity loss
  • Complicated grief

Women's Issues

From the pressure to hold everything together to the quiet erosion of self — Bithia helps women reclaim their voice, set meaningful boundaries, and build lives that reflect who they truly are, not who they were expected to be.

  • Self-esteem & identity
  • Relationship patterns & boundaries
  • Life transitions & role changes
  • Anxiety, burnout & overwhelm

The Approach

Therapy that honors the whole person

Bithia's practice is rooted in the belief that good therapy is both art and science. She draws from a blend of evidence-based modalities, woven together with genuine warmth and cultural sensitivity, to meet each client in the fullness of their experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identifying and shifting thought patterns that keep you stuck.

Trauma-Informed Care

A framework of safety and empowerment that honors your nervous system.

Strengths-Based Therapy

Building on what already lives inside you — your resilience, your wisdom.

Mindfulness-Informed Practice

Grounding techniques that bring you back to the present moment.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

A powerful, evidence-based technique that helps the brain process and release traumatic memories so they no longer hold the same emotional charge.

Culturally Responsive Therapy

Therapy that sees, respects, and integrates your full cultural identity.

"My role isn't to fix you. It's to walk alongside you as you discover your own capacity for healing."

Common Questions

You might be wondering…

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you're reading this, chances are something brought you here for a reason. Therapy isn't reserved for crisis — it's for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply, process difficult emotions, or simply feel less alone in what they're going through. If you're curious, that's enough to start.

What is the first session like?

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's on your mind, your history, and your goals for therapy. There are no wrong answers, and no pressure to share anything you're not ready for. Think of it as a conversation, not an interrogation.

Do you offer telehealth / online sessions?

Yes. Both in-person sessions in Phoenix and secure online video sessions are available. Many clients find that the flexibility of telehealth makes it easier to stay consistent with their care.

What are the session fees?

Individual sessions are $130 and couples sessions are $200. Payment is due at the time of service. A free 15-minute consultation is available before your first session — no commitment required.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bithia accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Zelle — whichever is most convenient for you.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. Bithia is in-network with the following plans: Blue Cross, BlueCross & BlueShield, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna and Evernorth. Don't see your plan listed? Reach out — a superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

How long does therapy take?

Healing isn't a race. Some clients find meaningful shifts in a few months; others choose to engage in longer-term work. The timeline is always guided by your needs, your goals, and your pace — not a preset schedule.

Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. Everything discussed in session is protected by strict confidentiality laws, with a few narrow exceptions required by law (such as imminent safety risks). Your privacy is taken seriously and handled with the utmost care.
