About me

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.

Documentation for courts, custody/DHS and HR are outside the scope of my practice.

Very helpful and patient

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.

I enjoyed my sessions with Lorena. She listens thoughtfully and also challenged my thoughts in a good way. I needed that in a therapist.
