We all inherently harbor the capability to heal from emotionally painful experiences.
I utilize an eclectic approach to psychotherapy based on where one is emotionally, physically and spiritually. I have experience in treating and helping clients reduce and better manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, lingering symptoms of trauma/PTSD and in coping with grief, loss and depression. I provide a safe and empathetic place for healing. Your thoughts, feelings and experiences can be brought to light, without fear of judgment. I provide coping skills and techniques on how to improve emotional health and well being.
It takes courage to initiate the process of healing and to identify that something is not working for ourselves. I am here to support & empower you, during your journey towards healing and emotional well being. I have been practicing and providing psychotherapy for 16 years.
I'm a multicultural therapist. I was born in Argentina and immigrated to the United States, when I was 6 years old. I grew up in the Bay Area of California. I provide psychotherapy in both English and Spanish. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University in Palo Alto, California.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lorena Borella-Clements. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Lorena is supportive of my needs and has taught me many strategies over our past 1.5 yrs together. She has helped me to better understand myself, my anxiety and how to prevent /manage it. She truly listens to listen and has helped me SO MUCH!

Last time we had a session I found her comforting and I found her listening skills refreshing. I felt a weight off my shoulders.

Lorena engages in a sincere genuine manner that puts me at ease. Her sessions are a safe space for me to share and confide the challenges of the day. I always feel better after our time together. They have become just a part of my regular self-care. Like a massage, phoning a friend, reading a book, taking a walk etc. Most importantly, Better Help is affordable, and I don't feel like it's an indulgence. It's no different than what I would pay for a gym membership, an exercise class or going out to dinner.

She is here for you. She gives a great lead into what's going on and helps you navigate your self through whatever you're going through . She gives great tools and advice. I felt seen and heard with how I was feeling and dealing. I put her guidance and tools into practice and it was super helpful. It's like talking to a friend with expert training!

I’m so grateful for Lorena’s kind and caring approach to therapy. I always feel very heard and she helps me by describing tools I can use to improve my mood and outlook. She is very understanding of a range of personal stressors such as family dynamics, work/compassion fatigue, and relationships.
