My name is Claudia Covarrubias, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Diego, California working with clients statewide via telehealth. I am passionate about working with adolescents, individuals, and families. Some of my specialties include depression, anxiety & stress, self-esteem, women's issues, communication & intimacy issues, difficult life transitions, acculturation, and college stressors. I am also bilingual and provide services in Spanish.

My primary approach to therapy is integrative and client centered. It is my strong belief that a therapeutic relationship can lead to insights and change. I encourage a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where we can work together to help develop coping skills to allow you to overcome the obstacles in your life.

During our first session together, we will spend the majority of the session talking about how you've been feeling recently. The first session is used to get to know you better and build a connection so I can better understand what you are going through. I normally start by building trust, establishing a therapeutic relationship, and then working together with my clients to help them establish their treatment goals and help them track their progress.
