Getting to know Clifton Arnspiger

You deserve to be fully seen, heard, and affirmed—not just tolerated. As a seasoned clinician, I bring both lived and professional experience to my work. I support clients from all backgrounds who are navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and life in a complex world. You don’t need to educate me about your identity—I meet you where you are and work to honor your lived experience. I provide space that embraces all of who you are—my goal is to provide therapy that feels grounded, relational, and deeply affirming. Therapy with me is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I support clients with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship stress, self-worth, and navigating systemic oppression. My approach is intersectional and trauma-informed, and I work from a lens that values autonomy, resilience, and community healing. I help clients by utilizing Schema Therapy and other evidenced based therapies; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused, Attachment-Based, Psychoanalytic, and Grief/Bereavement Therapies.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work collaboratively with clients to identify the "schemas" or life themes that drive current struggles, whether in mood, relationships, or self-esteem. Through insight, emotional processing, and practical tools, we build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique history and goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I help clients by utilizing Schema Therapy and other evidenced based therapies; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused, Attachment-Based, Psychoanalytic, and Grief/Bereavement Therapies. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to explore your goals, answer any questions, discuss your preferences in a therapist, and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
