More about Sylvia
- 30 years' experience

- LMFT
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.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I am extremely satisfied with the therapy I received from Sylvia. Her calm, steady, consistent style is exactly what I needed to be able to examine my life more deeply. I have a much better understanding of the person who I am and more confident in displaying that person in my relationship and more generally, in how I live my life. Thank you, Sylvia Chamberlain, for everything you have done for me. : )

Betterhelp has won the lottery in having Sylvia as one of their own. I am extremely grateful to have become one of her clients. The knowledge and insight she's given me has been truly a gift. I am definitely a much better person now then I was before. I have new eyes in the way I view myself and the world. I 110% recommend her to any and every one that seems lost or even if they don't think they need much therapy. Her expertise and warmness are paramount. Sylvia is definitely living her life purpose in helping people and in my mind as an emotional healer.
