Claire Pinkston

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Claire Pinkston MS/MSC. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADCII). I’ve been in the counseling field for almost 20 years. I believe that we all face challenges engaging fully in life, owning our choices, connecting with other people, and making our lives meaningful. How we think about ourselves, others, and the future has a tremendous impact on how we feel and what we do. My goal is to help you understand the factors influencing your thinking, feelings, and choices, and make changes that will improve your life. I especially like working with people who are motivated to dig in and do the work, because change requires change.

Since my undergraduate studies, I have developed a passion for social justice.

Vanessa Lopez

Therapist

I work primarily with young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck — especially when it comes to anxiety and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together on the outside, but internally feel lost or unsure of how to move forward.

I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work, even in high-stress situations. Much of my background is in working with clients in crisis, which allows me to help you navigate difficult emotions without things feeling out of control. At the same time, I’m warm, relatable, and honest — I’ll meet you where you are, while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck when or if needed.
