Ruth Clavelo

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in California. My treatment approach empowers you to optimize your physical and mental health well-being holistically, with an approach that is uniquely tailored to your individual needs. By bridging clinical expertise with compassionate care, I help you uncover the root causes of burnout and stress to restore long-term vitality. Together, we will build a sustainable foundation that allows you to thrive and achieve your goals.

Recognizing that every journey is unique, I utilize an eclectic, strength-based approach that helps you build deep insight into the root causes of your behavioral patterns, the connection between your emotions and choices, and the internal strengths you already possess to create lasting change. My practice integrates compassionate care, evidence-based modalities—including psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. I also utilize the principles of Harm Reduction and SMART Recovery to provide supportive, non-judgmental care for addiction-related disorders.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing begins with hope and intention. Grounded in the principles of whole person care, my clinical practice integrates lived experience with evidence-based principles to guide you on your healing path to self-discovery. Together, we cultivate self-agency and build sustainable strategies for lasting personal growth and emotional wellness.

Our first session is a gentle, pressure-free space dedicated to getting to know you. We will discuss your goals and how we can collaborate to build your self-agency. You can share your story your own way, entirely at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
