“Clara is an incredibly wise and knowledgeable therapist. She helped me overcome a creative block, where I was not able to paint for years, and now I am a successful and full-time artist. She is very insightful and practical. Currently, she has helped me greatly in my ability to process and hold space for my own emotions, which has really alleviated my lingering traces of depression. I feel much lighter, calmer, and clearer since I have started working with her.”

Getting to know Clara Angel
Having a good life is not a spontaneous happening but a conscious exercise of free will, directed toward a goal that raises the level of joy and fulfillment. Thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs have a huge impact on our well-being. I draw from modern, contemporary, cutting-edge approaches to psychotherapy that guide and inspire a transformative experience, reorienting the self toward sustainable wellness. My mind-body-soul approach blends science and the wisdom of healing traditions.
I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and a degree in Psychology from Universidad de San Buenaventura.
I would consider it an honor to be your guide, witness, and companion on your amazing and unique journey inside yourself.
I specialize in using awareness of the body and mind to bring positive change. I have successfully helped individuals with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, anger, self-esteem and confidence issues, trauma, communication and relationship challenges, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief, loss, and acculturation difficulties.
Many PPO/POS insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage for mental health sessions, so you may be reimbursed for my sessions.

Even though I was reluctant to have video session, I am amazed how well it went. I am so happy to be back after not seeing her for a while. I have been very down during the pandemic, and needing her assistance once again. Happy to be back under her care. I highly recommend her to everyone who is looking for someone effective and caring.

I met with Clara today for the first time, and even though it is our first session, I felt at home. I believe I am in good hands!!! I had several psychotherapists before her, and she feels just right for me at this moment in my life. Looking forward to our next session .

Clara Angel is the best psychiatrist I have ever had. She is extremely attentive, understanding, smart and most of all - productive. Not only is she the most non-judgmental person I have ever met but also one of the most intelligent. She has helped me locate sides of myself that I didn't know existed.
I find sometimes therapists just let you sit and talk which is great for some, but for me, I find my life TRULY changing for the better with her guidance and mentorship. I love how she means business and aims for productivity!
Clara's office is beautiful, she is always on time and very understanding if my day gets too busy to make our scheduled session.
She has helped me in ways I cannot explain here on ZocDoc, but the least I can do is share with you all that this woman is one of the smartest and most effective psychiatrists I have ever known and probably ever will!
If you need a therapist or someone to help guide you in this world look no further. For me, Clara has been by far the most professional and productive medical professional in NYC. So grateful for Clara!

What a transformative therapy session today was! I have been dealing with deep anxieties, and Clara Angel's amazing way of clarifying my difficulties and helping me see them from a new perspective was tremendously helpful. Feeling grateful.

Because of a medical condition, I am anxious and self-conscious in social situations. Clara has helped me so much in learning coping exercises to stay calm. She has also helped me manage my life stresses in healthy ways. I look forward to each weekly session. My work demands frequent travel, and the convenience of having video sessions with her is great. Scheduling appointments with her is easy. Her office is close to my work. She is a wonderful therapist -- I highly recommend her.

If you're ok with listening/speaking to a professional who has a thick accent, and can appreciate her role, I would suggest you visit with Clara. This was my first time there.

Clara Angel is an amazing therapist. She is very warm, compassionate, present, skilled, and creative. I was looking for someone I can trust and the moment I met her during the first visit I knew I can feel free to be vulnerable and start healing.

Clara is a super knowledgeable and warm professional. I continue to look forward to sessions with Clara as I feel she always addresses me as a 'whole' person. Clara brings a unique and integrative skill set to sessions and I find her advice extremely helpful and easy to apply. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
