Clarissa Boberg
LCSW
When seeking therapy for yourself, your family, or your future- you are choosing vulnerability. This choice is one that is honored and respected in the therapeutic relationship. My role is to support an authentic connection that builds curiosity, compassion, and openness to change in the direction of the life you want to live. I have a passion for helping folks notice and deconstruct shame within themselves and improve their felt sense of compassion and empowerment. In my work, you are the expert, and I am a support in helping you to uncover patterns that may no longer be serving you, build skills to work toward the life you want to lead, and to provide a safe and steady environment to share your hurts and hopes.
