Claudia Burgos

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #60788) with 20 years of dedicated experience in medical, oncology, and hospice settings, my practice centers on supporting adults and seniors through life's most complex and life-altering transitions.

Therapy with me is never rushed. It is a steady, secure space where healing unfolds through trust, consistency, and thoughtful exploration. I approach our sessions with warmth, clinical precision, and a deep respect for your individual pace, helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I take the time to truly understand you—your unique history, your strengths, your pain, and the patterns that have shaped your life. My practice blends standard bio-psychosocial frameworks with evidence-based mindfulness practices, having completed my Mindfulness Teacher Training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish (ofrezco terapia en inglés y español). I am deeply committed to creating a culturally responsive, inclusive space where all aspects of your identity are welcomed, seen, and respected.
