Meet Dr. Chavis

I’m Dr. Lauren Chavis, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I’m excited to be a part of the wonderful

group of therapists at the Eagle Therapist Collective!

I’m here to support you in discovering your unique strengths and creating a fulfilling life. I truly

believe that with a willingness to engage both in and out of sessions, there’s a great

opportunity for meaningful change and personal growth. My favorite moments as a therapist

are when clients share that everything we’ve been working on “clicks,” bringing them a sense of

pride and peace.

A Little About My Professional Background…

I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients of all ages, from preschool age to elders, with a

special focus on adolescents and adults. I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive

Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help my clients build

valuable skills for overcoming current challenges and preparing for the future. I also provide

Independent Psychological Evaluations for veterans seeking benefits from the VA.

My curiosity about psychology began before college, but my studies at UC Santa Cruz truly

ignited my passion. I went on to earn my master’s at Pepperdine University, where I worked

with children on the autism spectrum. I completed my educational journey at William James

College in Boston, and I had the opportunity to intern at Regional Mental Health Center just

outside of Chicago, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Kaiser Permanente in the Bay Area.

I’ve recently completed training to gain my Perinatal Mental Health Certificate, giving me the

tools to support families navigating infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges.

I’m excited to offer psychological testing to provide insight and clarity about diagnosis as well as

personalized recommendations to help you better understand your (or your child’s) academic,

cognitive and emotional functioning. In addition to testing and in-person appointments at the

Eagle Therapist Collective, I offer virtual sessions to clients across Idaho and California.

Let’s Work Together!

I use evidence-based, person-centered and solution-focused therapy methods to help clients

make meaningful changes. Some of my focus areas are:

• Ages 16 and older
• Anxiety & Stress
• ADHD & Executive Functioning
• Depression & Sadness
• Grief & Loss
• Life transitions
• Parenting Support
• Psychological testing: academic, cognitive, and emotional testing
• Relationships
• Reproductive Mental Health (including infertility, pregnancy, postpartum support)
• Sports and Performance Psychology
• Substance abuse and addiction

Outside of work, I love exploring the beautiful seasons of Idaho with my husband, daughter,

and our lovable dog—whether it’s hiking or sledding. I’m on a personal journey focusing on self-

care and incorporating balance into my daily life.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward meaningful change!

All the best,

Dr. Lauren Chavis
