Clara J. Pellizzari

My communication style

My communication style is professional, empathetic, and collaborative, with an emphasis on clear feedback, active listening, and problem-solving.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional background has consistently centered on service and advocacy. As I advanced my career, I recognized the need for advanced clinical knowledge and ethical practice, prompting me to pursue further education. My extensive life and professional experiences with diverse populations have formed my understanding of systemic barriers.

My goals for you

I help clients to reach their goals by creating a supportive, collaborative environment that encourages self-awareness and growth. Through guided reflection, skill building, and cognitive restructuring, clients gain tools to manage challenges and move toward the changes they want to see in their lives. It will be in an open-ended question style.

Our first session

The first session will be informal. It is normal to feel nervous, and there is no pressure to share everything right away. Our therapy sessions will move at your speed. You will have time to ask questions and decide if I am a good fit for you. The first session is about creating a safe, supportive environment and to do a review of the issues.
