About Jorge Chavez
As people grow, life becomes increasingly complicated and mentally challenging. Finding the time and space to reflect on the “life we were meant to live” seems lost to the routine of “things we are required to do”. People somehow believe they must tolerate or “suffer through” these circumstances. People often start to experience depression, anxiety insecurity as a result. People are unaware of the role they play in limiting their own mental growth and progress through avoidance.
Dr. Jorge Chavez specializes in helping individuals, couples and families identify their emotional needs confidently and clearly. As a mental health professional in Austin, TX, he works to develop mentally healthy and appropriate responses to emotional needs in people. His therapeutic technique empowers people to determine their own peace of mind and sense of self worth, essential elements they must and can strive for.
Dr. Jorge Chavez is a licensed psychologist in Austin, TX. He specializes in individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. His technique includes integrating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, attachment and mindfulness-based psychotherapy techniques.

Mental Health Evalutations
Mental health evaluations help professionals understand an individual’s mental health needs to determine a treatment plan or provide clarity in cases of legality. I provide mental health evaluations for U-Visa, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) Assessment, Political Asylum and Extreme Psychological Hardship for 601-Waiver, Cancellation of Removal for Deportation, and J-1 Visa.
After the mental health evaluation has been completed, I review the results and make a professional determination.
Mental health evaluations can help determine many underlying issues which can be extremely helpful when legality is concerned:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (ranging from domestic violence to childhood trauma)
- Depression and Mood Disorders
- Anxiety Disorders
- Eating Disorders
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Substance abuse and addictive disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders
