Clare Lewis, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Clare!

I'm passionate about helping clients overcome daily struggles and ongoing issues. My goal is to assist with your personal growth and healing while learning better coping techniques. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates mind and body.

My focus

I typically work with clients facing adjustment disorders, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, OCD, trauma, relationship issues and couples work, childhood abuse, addiction of all kinds, and ADHD.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, meaning I individualize your therapy according to your personal needs without judgment or bias. True listening in an empathic, supportive manner is important to me. I work collaboratively with you using trauma-informed care and modalities including somatic approaches that include the body.

My communication style

I create a calm, safe sanctuary where you feel free to discuss whatever you want or need in a relaxed atmosphere of non-judgment and acceptance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working with patients with physical disabilities and chronic pain made me realize that so much of recovery is having someone willing to really listen. Taking time to hear my patients' stressors and daily life complications showed me how these impact the ability to heal. So many people just need someone to really listen with care and concern.

My goals for you

Goals are obtained by directly asking what you hope to achieve. If you struggle to articulate or don't know what you want to gain from therapy, we'll work together to create them.

Our first session

In the first session, we'll do an intake to help me better understand why you're seeking therapy, your background and past, and your family environment. We'll discuss your needs and wants for therapy, your strengths, and determine if my approach fits you. If there's time, we'll begin working on your most significant issues.
