“I have done many different types of therapy with various therapists, but Clara has been the best one by far. She is exactly the type of therapist that I was looking for because she is very in touch with the therapist-client relationship as well as her presence in her role as a therapist. She is very welcoming and affirming. I would recommend her to anyone who also wants to explore their childhood trauma or be made more aware of why you've been acting/going about your life the way that you are. ”

“She is the first therapist who has understood me without judgement, dark humor included lol. She can understand what is a joke and when I’m serious. She helped me to see traits in myself and patterns I never caught . She’s made me understand myself better, and helps me feel validated.”

Getting to know Clara Peretz
Hello! I'm Clara.
If you have been through traumatic experiences that are getting in the way of living your life authentically, I would love to support you in regaining a sense of control over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If you have experienced loss, I would love to help you learn how to move through grief, rather than avoid it. If you find that you fall into codependent patterns in relationships, I would love to collaborate with you around boundary setting and self-care. I use a psychodynamic approach because I believe it is beneficial to identify the root of unhelpful behaviors and build compassion for the younger versions of yourself that were present when negative beliefs or self-sabotaging behaviors first showed up. I understand the negative impact that societal systems and institutions can have on health and well-being. I will guide you if you are curious to explore how oppressive systems may be affecting you mentally, physically, and spiritually, allowing for new perspectives to be imagined and utilized.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Texas, Austin, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide thoughtful, compassionate care tailored to your unique experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me looks like co-creating a non-judgmental and affirming space where your challenging thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be explored. I believe in the healing power of relationships and emphasize trust-building and effective communication within the therapeutic relationship. My goal is for our relationship to inspire new insights into your patterns of behavior and to serve as a model for you to create healthier, longer-lasting relationships with the people around you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
