Clarita Requena-Layton

My communication style

I create a warm, vibrant, and open environment where you feel both seen and supported. My tone is one of empathy and curiosity. I'm deeply invested in understanding your story, struggles, and aspirations, offering insights and strategies that resonate with your experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been filled with unexpected twists and profound learning. I've always been naturally curious about people's stories—what shapes them, motivates them, and keeps them going even in tough times.

My goals for you

My approach to goal-setting is collaborative and flexible. We explore what you want to achieve at a deeper, meaningful level—what's driving you, what's important, and what a fulfilling life looks like. We craft goals that reflect your values and desires, not just a checklist.

Our first session

Working with me feels like a collaborative journey. You'll experience depth and lightness, where difficult emotions are honored but there's also room for humor and growth. Clients describe our sessions as a safe space where vulnerability is met with compassion and challenges with honesty and hope.
