Sylvia Chamberlain, LMFT

Sylvia Chamberlain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She holds a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Humboldt State University, where she majored in dance and Native American Studies and graduated in 1982. Sylvia earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1989 and later supervised graduate trainees pursuing licensure as marriage and family therapists from October 2020 through December 2021.

Her own journey through early childhood trauma and long-term engagement with movement practices, Native American philosophy, yoga, and meditation shaped her clinical perspective. Those experiences inform a practice that honors both the body and story in healing, and they inspired her transition from personal recovery to professional support for others.

Sylvia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic approaches, narrative techniques, mindfulness practices, trauma-focused methods, and attachment-centered work to help clients identify challenges and move toward relief. She is responsive to inquiries, checking messages several times a day and typically replying within 24 hours. Her background in movement and contemplative practice often complements her therapeutic approach, offering clients varied pathways to address emotional, relational, and trauma-related concerns.
