Ada Clerigo

Hi there, my name is Ada Clerigo and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in Texas. I am supervised by Norma Reyes, PhD, LPC-S. I work with teens and adults, primarily women who are experiencing grief, navigating childhood trauma, and going through life transitions. I also have experiences with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic perfectionism and those who have lived multicultural and bicultural identities. I've been to therapy before, and I understand how meaningful it can be to have a space where you can slow down, be heard, and make sense of what you're experiencing. I bring that understanding into my work with clients while recognizing that everyone's experience and needs are different.

My approach to therapy is curious, collaborative, patient, and motivated by change. I believe my clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them as they work toward the changes they want to make. I don't see my clients 24/7, and so I believe in supporting them in building the insight, skills, and self-awareness they need to navigate life outside of our sessions. This can include practical tasks that you and I develop together, reflection, and intentional skills to practice between sessions.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building mutual trust. I would like to learn about you, not just what brings you to therapy, but the people, experiences, values, and parts of your life that are important to you. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for from therapy and what you need from me as your therapist. From there, we can begin identifying where therapeutic work may be helpful and what moving forward might look like for you.
