all about Clara
Clara is a bilingual therapist whose work centers on the way we handle emotions, set boundaries, and navigate relationships. She helps clients understand where those patterns come from. Originally from Spain, Clara brings a multicultural, cross-linguistic perspective to her work and offers therapy in both English and Spanish, allowing clients to work in whichever language feels most natural. She is completing her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at New York University, where her training emphasizes a relational, evidence-based approach to
psychotherapy. Clara focuses on supporting young adults, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. In her work with
clients, she pairs warmth with directness, helping people build insight, recognize patterns, and approach themselves with self-compassion as they move toward the life they want.
Areas of exploration with clients: Relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, cultural identity &
adjustment.
Modalities used: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Internal Family Systems Model (IFS).
how she works
Clara’s approach is relational and integrative. She believes that real change happens within a relationship that is both safe and honest, and that growth is often just past the edge of what feels comfortable. With Clara, clients find a supportive space, and they also find themselves gently challenged. Drawing from CBT, DBT, AEDP, and IFS, Clara adapts her approach to each client’s unique needs. Together, she and her clients explore how they relate to others and their own thoughts. She stays curious about what is left unsaid. Clara meets you where you are and doesn’t let you stay stuck there.
