You're successful on paper, but internally you're exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. I work with high-performing men navigating anxiety, burnout, OCD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Together, we'll develop practical skills to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself and the people who matter most. My approach blends mindfulness with evidence-based strategies to help you step out of autopilot and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach blends mindfulness with evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, DBT, MBCT, and MBSR. Together, we’ll identify patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and respond with intention. I am also a MBSR Certified Instructor through Brown University.

In our first session, we’ll take time to understand what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping to change or improve. I’ll ask questions to get a clear picture of your current challenges, patterns, and goals, while also making space for you to share at your own pace. Expect a calm, non-judgmental environment where we begin to identify practical next steps

You can expect a balance of practical skills to manage stress and deeper practices to build awareness, resilience, and healing. Over time, therapy will help you feel steadier, clearer, and more connected.

Strong Back, Soft Front for Men

Hosted by

Claudio Barrientos

Strong Back, Soft Front is a 6-week men’s group for those who want to balance strength with openness. Inspired by Roshi Joan Halifax’s teaching, we’ll explore how to stand steady under pressure while also relating with vulnerability and presence. Through mindfulness practices, guided discussion, and practical tools, you’ll learn to manage stress, communicate more clearly, and connect more deeply with partners, family, and peers. This closed group offers a supportive space to step out of isolation, build resilience, and practice showing up with both courage and compassion.
