Great to meet you!

Clara West, DSW, an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Foundational to psychotherapy is the therapeutic alliance. I offer an empathetic, caring, and safe environment in which to establish this therapeutic relationship with clients. As a faith-based therapist, my interventions include combining one's beliefs to traditional psychotherapeutic frameworks. My goal is to help clients achieve purposeful lives while promoting personal growth, health and wellness.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is integrative to include faith-based, psycho-educational, cognitive, narrative, solution focused, grief/bereavement and developmental therapies. Treatment approaches are according to the needs of the client.

What you can expect from me

Clients will acquire new knowledge about themselves, and others and learn to reframe one's perspective, giving them hope.
