I first worked with Clarissa in 2018 - and from then until now she has proven to be an *Excellent* resource and guide. She is a kind, approachable, insightful therapist who has helped me sort through some of the most trying times in my life. Her professionalism is top notch - she is well prepared for every session, asks all the right questions and has a full throttle plan to help you better herself. She is passionate about helping you and doing a good job at it - she is always training to find better ways to improve herself and try new techniques. Could not recommend a better therapist. You are lucky if you have found this page :) More...

I've been wanting to explore hypnotherapy as a way to enrich my spiritual practice. Â Clarissa was the perfect facilitator. Â She's very clear with her instructions and created a very safe environment. Â Although everything about her practice is so subtle it made a huge impact that lasts even after the session is over. Â I highly recommend Clarissa. More...

Clarissa is an angel! I have been working with her for almost 2 months now and I am so grateful for her guidance and help thus far. My hypnotherapy sessions with her have created a positive shift in my habits and thought patterns around my relationship with myself especially. I've struggled with low-self worth since I was a child where I picked up the habit of Trichotillomania (hair-pulling) at a very young age and have carried it with me into adulthood. Being that trich is a type of coping mechanism for anxiety, I have battled throughout the years to replace it with healthier coping mechanisms, such as meditation, positive-affirmations, etc. However, this habit is so deeply engrained into my subconscious that it was time to seek help from a professional. I had heard hypnotherapy is the most effective in habit-reversal so I was curious to give it a try. I wanted to understand the root of the cause and Clarissa helped me through this tremendously. I had several revelations and epiphanies as to why I pull after our first 2 sessions alone. The urge to pull has gone down by a lot, but when I feel an urge now, I don't beat myself up over it; rather, I simply understand that the subconscious undoing is still in progress and someday soon I will no longer feel an urge to pull. In addition to our sessions, Clarissa provides me with lots of resources to help apply what I've learned into my life without having to rely solely on her. Clarissa is an encouraging breath of fresh air. Her soothing words guide me into a place where I know I am not alone and that I am fully capable of healing on my own too. At the end of the day, it is up to me to apply what I have learned, but there is so much power in seeking help and allowing that help in. I am so grateful for Clarissa and 100% recommend her expertise in hypnotherapy. Thank you so much Clarissa! More...

I have taken my 8 year old daughter to see Clarissa and had excellent results. She was having a lot of anxiety about her school work and was paralyzed by starting big projects. Clarissa helped her with making beads to focus on with her eyes during meditation, drawing pictures (like art therapy), using a little beany baby toy to remind her to be brave, and understanding that the "thinker" inside of her can handle this challenge. My daughter came home and without hesitation wrote the entire report in 20 minutes. This project had previously led to days of tantrums and after just one session with Clarissa the project was done. Whenever she would get overwhelmed again we would listen to the recording from the session and she could regroup instantly! I have also used Clarissa's services for myself and can attest that it is a cathartic, wonderful experience. She helped me find an internal sense of peace while caring for my household and adjusting to the reality of the pandemic. She has a true gift for being able to focus on what is most important and help you through it. Â I'm extremely impressed with Clarissa and can't recommend her enough! We have worked with her in person (last fall, pre-pandemic) and over zoom this spring now that we are sheltered in place from Covid-19 and she is very effective in both platforms. More...

Clarissa is an incredible hypnotherapist. This was my first experience with hypnotherapy and I had no idea what to expect besides what I have seen in the movies. Clarissa does a great job of explaining the process of hypnotherapy in your brain and how it gives us access to our subconscious mind. It turns out that hypnotherapy is a lot more like a highly customized meditation session vs. being put in a trance and being told to do things against your will. Clarissa made me feel completely at ease and helped me achieve a sense of calm that was extremely hard to find at the time. I would highly recommend hypnotherapy with Clarissa to anyone who is looking to access what is going on deep in their subconscious mind and is ready to change their life! More...

I've been working with Clarissa for the last 8 months give or take. It started as an exploration of possibilities to change my relationship with money. Since the beginning, I noticed her sympathy, care, and patience. I know I'm a lot to take on, I expect people that work with me to have a high level of engagement and intelligence, Clarissa has it all. I've seen, felt, witness, how doors have opened for me, especially the last couple of months during the pandemic. It's not about the money, the work that she's done with me requires insight and meaningful exercises of your subconscious mind, she has guided me in ways I never thought I could. I've navigated old beliefs and replace them with new, better ones. I've closed chapters that I had open before but never dealt with it. I encourage you to try to spend time working on yourself, Clarissa is the way to go. If you put effort she will help you immensely. I am so grateful to have her! More...

My hypnotherapy session with Clarissa was life changing. Hypnotherapy was new to me and I did not know what to expect. Clarissa made me feel totally comfortable. She was very patient - she listened, answered all my questions, and made me answer a questionnaire to make sure the session fitted my expectations and needs. Together, we worked on my emotional reactiveness and communication skills, especially at work. I saw the results after only one session! It was mind blowing. I will definitely go see her again, and recommend it to anyone open to new possibilities of growth and positive energy. Clarissa is such a passionate and talented woman: she is intuitive, kind, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and a gifted healer. I can't recommend her enough! More...

I worked with Clarissa for several months and she's absolutely great. First off, she explains the entire process in an extremely easy to comprehend fashion- I have to admit I was extremely skeptical at first about hypnosis but she made me feel comfortable from our first session. Clarissa worked with me on the issues I was facing and I can now say I'm in a much better place than before we began. Her voice is extremely soothing, in each session we went further and discovered more, and I sincerely looked forward to each session. She has an extremely curated approach which I appreciate because you get to work on the aspects of your wellbeing that are important to *you*. Thanks to Clarissa I have a much better relationship with myself therefore with others. I'm more self-aware and have better tools to continue working on my growth and self-development. It was also helpful that she is flexible and I could do virtual sessions when necessary. Thank you so much Clarissa, I'm extremely thankful and grateful for you and our hypnosis therapy. More...

I am so grateful that my first exposure to hypnotherapy was through Clarissa! I participated in a group session, and honestly did not know what to expect. With her guidance, I was able to let go of preconceived ideas that I had, and felt very safe accessing a part of myself that I was unaware of. Without hesitation, I can say that Clarissa fully invests herself in every client - she has a way to fully put you at ease, thoroughly explains her process, and provides honest, insightful feedback. I am looking forward to continuing Clarissa's therapeutic services to work on my fear of public speaking, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a positive change! More...

I would highly recommend Clarissa's services to anyone looking to better their life through hypnosis. Â I turned to her services after experiencing some difficult times as an essential worker during COVID-19, and Clarissa' s professionalism and expertise were invaluable in me finding an inner landscape of peace, letting go of control, trusting in things working out, and finding ability to energize my being when I was feeling very down. Â Clarissa is very personable, easy to talk to, and put me at ease right away even though I had never experienced hypnotherapy before and was unsure of what to expect. The virtual sessions were very impactful and I appreciated that she was always right on time for our Zoom calls. I would recommend her services and will definitely be returning to her in the future if/when I need them. Â Thank you Clarissa!! More...

I had no idea what to expect when I first started hypnotherapy. Clarissa completely changed my life within just 6 sessions. She's so knowledgable about psychology and guides you through practical hypnosis and journaling exercises that help rewire your brain/thoughts. I didn't know it was possible to be this empowered, happy and confident. Thank you so much Clarissa!!! More...

Meeting Clarissa has not only completely changed my life but also elevated my consciousness. I became aware of the emotional baggage I was carrying since I was a child at our very first session. With a background in psychology, I have always been the one to help my friends with their daily struggles. This allowed me to go on functioning without fully understanding how my own past affects me in various situations. My entire world changed through hypnotherapy as I felt that my inner needs were met with Clarissa's warm presence, pleasant tone, and productive feedback. Clarissa curated unique hypnotherapy sessions to help in strengthening my internal validation, developing stronger boundaries between self and others, and managing my perfectionism. I am forever grateful to Clarissa for the domino effect of positive changes she has ignited in my work life and personal life. She records our sessions and sends them to me after so that I have the benefit to continue living the newfound clarity on my own! I feel more confident and present than ever before. Highly recommend her services! More...

Clarissa has completely changed my life with hypnotherapy. Not only is she intelligent, intuitive and skilled, but she is also graced with incredible kindness, approachability and passion to make significant impact on her client' s lives. She has personally helped me in aspects of relationships, stress management, adjustments, sleep and opened my mind to new perspectives, which I would've never known otherwise. I feel like she has healed a rocky part of my relationship which bubbled away for almost 2 years in 1 session...she's that amazing. Living far away is no issue as Clarissa has completed FaceTime sessions with me, which I have found equally as powerful and impactful as face-to-face, and highly recommend for those who don't want to venture to the Valley. Clarissa is also kind enough to share a recording of our hypno sessions so I can go back to them if I need reinforcement, clarity or just a perk up. Highly recommend - thank you so much! More...

Clarissa is an awesome hypnotherapist! She was my first hypnotherapist and I found each and every session so helpful. I' ve had maybe 4-5 therapists in my life, and I found Clarissa's hypnotherapy most effective. She is extremely insightful and I always found that Clarissa really understands whatever you are going through. Through working with Clarissa, I was able to really focus on cultivating a strong sense of self without external factors weighing me down as much. I was also able to really learn to trust in myself rather than getting lost in my own anxieties and doubts about myself. I would highly recommended Clarissa! :) More...

Came to therapy to help me with work and social anxiety. Being in sales after several therapy sessions I am consistently meeting goal and not worrying so much. (Keeping the outside outside and growing my self-image!)I was able to close out the week double (a small) goal. I am feeling more confident and not as worried at work. I am not taking things personally and I know that has helped me with my feelings and attitude toward my job and my projections onto ppl.I can see how I react and feel differently toward reoccurring situations at work... Definitely moving in a positive direction and I am so excited! Can't wait to grow my self confidence more and growing in other ways. There's no limit when I continue to grow and get rid of my fear of failure and success. Clarissa is great bc she explains things well and she makes me feel like I am not alone. Other ppl have gotten through it and so will I! More...

Clarissa is representative of everything that I could have hoped to have received through hypnotherapy/therapy. She has helped me understand myself better in more ways than I would have imagined. Through the process, she has helped me address a number of things that were challenging me at the time including stress (whether work or other), relationships and social interactions (with friends, family, and other), reflecting on the past, mindfulness (how to be more present), communication skills, being able to sleep better, confidence, focus, and being more efficient and diligent with my time. I highly recommend Clarissa to anyone looking to make improvements in one's lifestyle, mindset, or habits or addressing issues / problems (whether small or large) that may be occurring in one's life. Â Starting work with Clarissa would be a great new year's resolution for 2020. More...
