“After a difficult divorce, I felt stuck in self-doubt. Dr. Wisnia’s 50-minute sessions—tailored to my pace—helped me unpack how early family dynamics shaped my self-worth. The self-compassion prompts she’s given me have become a daily ritual, and I’ve never felt more confident moving forward.” -Chris P”

Getting to know Dr. Clarita Wisnia

Dr. Wisnia is a bilingual clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through the challenges of anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Trained in Intensive Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, she integrates evidence-based interventions with psychodynamic insights to help you uncover and reshape the patterns that hold you back. Whether you’re seeking relief from distressing memories or support navigating a major life change, Dr. Wisnia creates a warm, collaborative space, online, in English or Spanish, tailoring each session to your unique strengths and goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you meet with Dr. Wisnia, you’ll be greeted in a calm, confidential space where English or Spanish is welcome. She’ll begin by inviting you to share what brought you in and will ask about your personal and family history in a gentle, conversational way. This open dialogue helps her understand your strengths, challenges, and the context for your goals. How Sessions Are Structured Each appointment lasts 50-60 minutes. Dr. Wisnia blends Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy exercises with psychodynamic exploration and anxiety-management techniques, adapting her approach to fit your needs in the moment. You’ll work together to clarify both immediate concerns and longer-term objectives, and you’ll leave with practical tools—grounding exercises, communication strategies, or self-compassion prompts—to practice between sessions. Our Ongoing Partnership As you move forward, Dr. Wisnia will review your progress and adjust your treatment plan collaboratively. You can expect a mix of in-session skill-building, reflective inquiry into recurring patterns, and brief “experiments” or exercises designed to reinforce insights in your daily life. Throughout your journey, she remains committed to creating a safe, supportive, and personalized environment where you can foster resilience, deepen self-understanding, and achieve meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Dr. Wisnia’s goal is to create a warm, collaborative space from day one. In your hour sessions via secure video, she blends evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic exploration to help you move past anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and recurring patterns. Fluent in English and Spanish, she tailors every visit to your pace and goals. **First Visit** * You’ll share what brought you in: symptoms, concerns, and hopes. * She’ll ask about your background in a conversational way to understand your strengths and challenges. * Together you’ll clarify goals and build a roadmap for healing. **Ongoing Sessions** * A mix of Trauma-Focused CBT exercises, short-term psychodynamic insights, and anxiety-management strategies. * Collaborative goal-setting and real-time practice of new coping skills. * Brief between-session exercises or “experiments” to help you apply insights in daily life. **Personalized, Bilingual Care** * Sessions in English or Spanish, tailored to your needs and communication style. * Concrete tools—grounding techniques, self-compassion prompts, communication strategies—provided each week. * A safe, nonjudgmental environment where you’re heard, respected, and guided toward greater resilience. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning to deepen your growth, Dr. Wisnia will partner with you to explore the roots of your challenges, strengthen your coping toolkit, and support you every step of the way.
