Our Team

Rochelle Chavis

LCSW #81507

Through my 14 years of working in the social service field, I have extensive experience providing culturally sensitive direct services in residential, home, and community settings to children, youth, adults, and their families. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from San Diego State University in 2008, my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2014, and completed my LCSW in 2018.

My experience includes managing and overseeing a team of direct service staff, with varying education levels, while providing supervision and consultation. I exhibit strong leadership skills, sound clinical judgement, and promote a positive work environment.

I have experience collaborating and coordinating with community members consisting of a multidisciplinary team to advocate for individualized client needs. My passion is to advocate and empower the clients and communities I serve.

Ashely Lopez

MFT Intern

Hello. I am Ashley, an intern here at New Horizon Counseling center. I am currently working towards obtaining my Master of Social Work Degree and I am also bilingual. Aside from English, I speak Spanish. I have always had and still have a passion working with children, youth, and families (including marriage/couples), as well as individuals.

My passion includes working with families, couples and youth to improve their relationships with others and themselves through communicating emotions and building up their self-esteem. As well as giving them an extra resource that will assist them in any way that is needed. One of my many goals is to break the negative stigma of receiving therapy. It is perfectly fine if one wishes to attend therapy.

My personal life as well as my educational and professional background allow me to provide empathy and a culturally sensitive approach when in session. It is my priority to provide a safe environment when with my clients.
