My name is Claudia De Los Rios, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. My approach to therapy is honest, collaborative, and relational. I am an optimist at heart and believe in the driving factor of human resiliency and inner determination. I work from a multicultural, trauma-informed, holistic lens, encompassing mind, body, and spirit. I teach skills and provide a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space for you to be yourself. As a second-generation Latina, I believe in breaking the barriers of intergenerational trauma and empowering my clients toward their best selves.

I specialize in substance use, self-esteem, trauma, grief, mood disorders, multicultural issues, LGBTQ+, life transitions, and relational issues. I primarily use evidence-based modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which examines the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also use solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing. I enjoy working with individuals 15+, and adults. También ofrezco servicios en Español.

I believe it takes strength to seek help, bravery to admit that you need something to change, and vulnerability in asking for it. If you are ready to take that courageous step, feel free to reach out for a free 10-minute consultation to determine if I’m a good fit. I am in-network with BCBS, AETNA, Medcost, CBHA, Cigna, United Healthcare insurance, and self-pay. I am looking forward to speaking with you!
