Clara Pena

Therapist

Virtual • Providence, RI


I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and bereavement, trauma, chronic health challenges or disabilities, anger management, and cultural or ethnic identity concerns. I understand that these experiences can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply personal. My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected—without judgment. I bring a culturally responsive lens to therapy, recognizing how background, identity, and lived experience shape the way we cope and heal. Whether you're dealing with a recent loss, unresolved trauma, or ongoing life stressors, I’m here to help you move toward stability, clarity, and meaningful change.

Therapist

Virtual • Westerly, RI


Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was exactly where you are now reaching out for support. You don't have to go through this alone. I have a Master's Degree in Holistic Counseling and I am also a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience working with anxiety, depression, loss and trauma. Therapy helped me to understand myself and cope with my situation. It also led me to my education which, taught me that seeing yourself as a whole gives you more options to choose from when things go wrong. By combining the two I can better support what you most need so you can move forward with purpose and see that there is life beyond coping.

If you have been living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, grief, chronic pain, or a persistent sense that something is off, finding a psychologist who understands your whole picture matters. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium at Palo Alto University, and I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on trauma, sleep, and chronic conditions that have not always responded to previous care.
