Hi there. I’m Clarissa, a licensed clinical social worker based in California. I received my Masters Degree from Cal State Sacramento with 8 years of experience. I have had the privilege of working with both minors and adults, those with acculturation conflict and generational trauma, those experiencing acute mental health crisis or life transitions, and those personally or know of loved ones struggling with addiction. All with the common theme of making a conscious decision to take back control.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be intended to establish the foundation for our ongoing sessions, create a safe space, and have a better understanding for your reason for seeking therapy. I will assess your readiness and collaborate with you to create a plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having been a therapist working with adults for the past 8 years, I believe each person is unique and an expert to themselves. This is my foundation to forming working relationship with my clients and perfected my approach to identifying stressors and create a sustainable plan.
