Accepting new clients! Are you tired of carrying the weight of life and all its demands on your shoulders? It's time to put YOU first and start a new chapter in your life.

My ideal client is looking for therapy to help them and wants to change their life for the better.

Do you feel burdened or like you are not able to live life with freedom, joy and peace? Whether we have hurts from the past or anxiety and depression that seem overwhelming; it can be helpful to have someone there who understands and provides non-judgmental, supportive feedback.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to help clients achieve their goals. I am bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and positive space to help clients reach their full potential.

I enjoy working with all populations and age ranges providing a comfortable space for all. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or something you are looking to give a try again too, I want to ensure that together we focus on the goal in which you are working towards or seeking.

Hello and Welcome, My purpose is to serve you and support positive change. Young adults, children, elderly, and couples whom are challenging depression, anxiety, and in need of mentor coaching; you are in a safe space. I believe in a strength based approach with your therapy sessions anchored to your needs and your experiences.

As you consider mental health wellness, recovery, or personal change as part of your self-care, finding the right therapist is essential. Therapy may be helpful when considering a change or letting go of patterns that no longer support you. I intend to partner with individuals at any stage of readiness and develop a unique plan of treatment personalized to meet those needs.

Life has many unexpected twists and turns. Although you are doing okay, you recognize that being just “okay” is not good enough anymore. Maybe you are suffering from some childhood wounds that need to be unpacked. Perhaps, you have experienced a bad break up, a recent divorce, job related stress, or anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Are you a teenager who feels no one understands you, a young adult trying to figure out your next steps in life, a parent in need of some extra support, or a couple at a crossroads in your relationship? Do you want to become the best version of yourself?

Are you finding your everyday existence fulfilling and rewarding? Are you presenting the best version of yourself to the world daily?

If you could use support in any of the aforementioned areas, I am happy to share that I am currently accepting new clients. I am Ferris Clare, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I will guide you through life’s inevitable challenges and plateaus to collaboratively support you in realizing and cultivating the power that lies within you.

Taking the first step into the therapeutic world is difficult. Sometimes we allow our pride to get in the way of our growth, somehow we feel that engaging in therapy equates to “not having it all together.” Other times it may feel like a sign of weakness or therapy simply is the UNKNOWN. However, if you fall into the majority you are prioritizing everything else in your life to avoid it. Whether you fall into all these categories or none I am here to encourage you to show up for yourself ! Create time in your busy schedule to EXHALE. No matter where you are in this book called life the chapter titled “YOU" is the most important.

When looking for a therapist it's important you find someone your feel comfortable with. Therapy can be a safe place to share and explore feelings or issues that challenge most of us at one time or another. I use a strength-based, family systems approach in helping individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and their families to reduce stress, improve communication and relationships. My goal with all clients is to build on existing strengths, and help find realistic solutions to problems and help achieve their goals. I empower them to achieve the changes they are looking for, in a safe comfortable and non judgmental environment.

With the ever-changing world around us it can be difficult to feel like you are holding onto something tangible at times. I understand everyone's paths are different but one aspect we have in common is the human experience. Being in counseling helps form a tangible relationship with a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings about the world around you. I empathize with these feelings and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for every client I meet while offering unique services to their needs.I have experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, major life changes, and dealing with overall stress of everyday life.

I am passionate about promoting mental wellness, self-care, and stress management, particularly through avenues like the arts, music and dance.

Today probably seemed hard. Dealing with the current pandemic, problems at work or home, or maybe just trying to figure out what the next steps are in life. I GET IT, and I want to help you with that! I also want to help you address those things that may seem difficult to tackle on your own. Sometimes we need more than a YOUTUBE video or a motivational podcast. Sometimes we need assistance in person; LIVE and DIRECT, to help us channel our stress and anxiety.

“Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk about what “being stuck” feels like and our desire to be “normal” again! Don’t you think that sometimes life just seems to be pulling us in every direction and this makes it so difficult for us to remain present? So, here’s the opportunity to rise above your circumstances as we work towards a better and brighter future.
