Getting to know Dr. Clara Adkins

I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and have experience working with adults, undergraduate and graduate students. I have clinical and research experience in self-care, positive psychology, life transitions, communication problems, women's issues, and developing passions and purpose. Let me work with you to solve problems with positivity and compassion.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My passion is integrating positive psychology and a person-centered approach in therapy. I am motivated to help clients who have already started their personal journey. Perhaps you have already graduated from other therapists or accomplished some of your goals but are feeling stuck in progressing to the next level. I can help you achieve a higher level of belief in yourself than you originally thought was possible. I do this by helping you challenge negative core beliefs, realize authentic life goals, and identify your unique strengths and growth areas to work toward self-actualization. I am skilled at helping clients achieve their goals. I help clients work through their problems by helping them to develop skills to identify and overcome challenges. I collaborate with clients to help them lead a more authentic life. I also encourage people to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and explore what makes life meaningful to them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Individual psychotherapy is a one-on-one session between a client and therapist that lasts approximately 45-55 minutes. Clients utilize individual psychotherapy to process their emotions/feelings and thoughts, define problem areas, overcome challenges, process trauma, develop strengths, recognize meaning and purpose in life, and develop self-awareness to work towards their therapeutic goals.
