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.

It is premature to assess anyone for anything. I, for example, have barely revealed myself because we're just starting. But since you're checking on Lorena Borella-Clements, she absolutely conveys compassion, interest, warmth, and has practical assessments and ideas. I will know more as we progress. I tend not to recommend anything or any service to anyone, as I can't control the experience or their perception, etc.

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've been looking for her for so many years. I've been with different therapists since I was in my twenties and I was almost at a point where I had lost hope in finding a good fit for me. Lorena was my last hope and I'm so glad we've found each other. She is so knowledgeable and experienced. From our very first session she provided me with life-changing tools to help me overcome different issues like social-anxiety and coping mechanisms. Every session is packed with powerful seeds of knowledge that I can apply in my daily life and it's made my life so much lighter and better. She provides perspective and knowledge like nobody else I've met.

Her practical knowledge and insights have truly made a difference in my life. The tools she's shared with me have become part of my daily routine, helping me navigate my challenges more effectively. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Lorena; her guidance is invaluable.
