"I've been going to "traditional" therapy and seeing various therapists for many years however, in a few sessions, Clarissa has helped me achieve goals that no other professionals have enabled me to do. What I truly appreciate from Clarissa is she comes from an altruistic place. Sadly, I have not experienced this from other mental health professionals. I find that they don't want to fully heal you because then they lose a client and a paycheck. Also, if there are insurance issues in limbo, that proverbial elephant is in the room whilst you're trying to heal your personal problem which makes things uncomfortable. In my sessions with Clarissa, she cuts to the core issue. After getting to the root, she "prescribed" writing exercises and other healing techniques. I have been dutifully fulfilling this request and it's been the most transformative, insightful, and healing work I've done yet. In contrast, with my experiences with a traditional therapist, they will spend weeks or months goading you in the direction of clarity which is an annoying drain of money and time and it only increases frustration or compounds your issue. During my time working with her, I experienced a blip from a different issue that has sadly been unresolved for six years. Clarissa suggested a solution that four other therapists never conjured. After I carefully decided if her idea was the right choice for me, I followed through and received the healing that I need. If you're on the fence about seeking outside support for an issue you're facing, you should not have hesitation about seeing Clarissa. You won't feel pressure to have weekly therapy, she gives you techniques and tools that you can practice on your own and most of all, she comes from an authentic, genuine, spiritual and heart centered place which is a refreshing breath of air. Keep up the great work Clarissa!" Tully O., Los Angeles
"Clarissa’s guidance as a counselor and sponsor has given me practical tools to leap over my own stumbling blocks and experience solid personal growth. As a love-addict I needed help creating healthy relationships of all kinds - work, family, friends, romance. She taught me how to recognize and release mental drama that I was previously unaware of and find immediate clarity. Grounded and uncomplicated, the work with Clarissa has given me tremendous peace." Betsy Zajko, Actress, Los Angeles
"I highly recommend Clarissa as a heart-centered life coach and counselor. Her coaching style is not only practical but spiritual and lighthearted. Working with Clarissa helped me to get in touch with repressed emotions, brought me clarity, and realigned me with joy and purpose. She gently and gracefully facilitated my sessions using her special gifts of intuition, loving compassion, unconditional acceptance, and delightful humor. Thank you, Clarissa, for helping me move joyfully forward in my life!" Carol Wright, Healing Energy Practitioner, Los Angeles
“I started sessions with Clarissa because I didn’t know where my life was going. I was very restless and could not make important decisions. My head was racing with thoughts but I wasn’t moving forward. She managed to take the rush and panic out of me and helped me feel strong and positive. She convinced me to write down my dreams and Goals. I played along but didn’t really believe any of this would ever materialize. Looking back I have to admit: Every single one of my goals have indeed materialized. I give Clarissa huge credit for the bright place my family is now. I feel blessed to know her and should I ever loose sight again, Clarissa will be there to put me back on track.” Katja Lau, Journalist, Santa Monica
Clarissa has walked the walk. I was blessed to have received her support when I was at my lowest, suffering from postpartum depression. She showed me the importance of forgiveness, and how to embrace a new starting point. I cannot say enough good things about her coaching style. Truly from the heart!" Dr. Tanja L., Nutritionist, Studio City
"Clarissa is amazing! In one short session, using only questions, never judgments or dictates, Clarissa brought me to two stunning moments of clarity during a very confusing and tumultuous time in my life. We began our session with a brief meditation, during which she suggested I choose a personal intention for our session. I chose my intention to be "freedom from fear" which, honestly, I had no expectation of achieving...miraculously, the two moments of clarity released me from my two greatest fears related to my current situation. A miracle! Coming from a place of pure love and truly wanting to help people, Clarissa is kind, warm, genuine and nonjudgmental; a standout, worth several times what she charges." Maria K., Bel Air
"Clarissa has truly been heaven sent. I came to see her at a time when I had so much going on in my life and she has given me the tools and structure that I needed. I highly recommend her." Torriel S, Los Angeles
"Clarissa helped me through a rough time with a previous relationship. I now feel healed from this experience and ready to explore new relationships that are beneficial to my well-being and worth; thanks to her help. She has guided me in following my spirit and intuition when making decisions. She is compassionate and understanding and listens to me without judgement. I highly recommend Clarissa to support when feeling lost from your in my authentic self." Monica W., Pasadena
"When I started with Clarissa I was very angry and extremely anxious. I had lost my job and my self-esteem. Thanks to Clarissa I let go of the anger and put it behind me recognizing what a terrible situation I was in. Today I am happy, employed and I feel that I can own the world.'
