Clara Peretz, LSW

Hi! I'm Clara (she/her).

I received my Bachelors of Arts in Sociology from Wesleyan University and Masters of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin.

Therapy with me looks like co-creating a non-judgmental and affirming space where your challenging thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be explored. I believe in the healing power of relationships and emphasize trust-building and effective communication within the therapeutic relationship. My goal is for our relationship to inspire new insights into your patterns of behavior and to serve as a model for you to create healthier, longer-lasting relationships with the people around you. I understand the impact that societal systems and institutions can have on one's health and well-being. I will guide you if you are curious to explore how oppressive systems may be affecting you mentally, physically, and spiritually, allowing for new perspectives to be imagined and utilized.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma, loss, psychosis, addiction, and codependency in relationships. I identify and empathize with the unique barriers faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, and welcome clients from all gender and sexual identities.

Clara’s rate per session is $150 with sliding scale spots available. Clara can offer clients monthly billing statements to be submitted to insurance companies for potential reimbursement. Please contact clara@acornpsychotherapy.com if you have any questions.
