Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with individuals navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity development. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in honoring your lived experiences.

I work with adults of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on supporting immigrants, refugees, and those from diverse cultural communities. I draw from somatic practices, strengths-based therapy, narrative work, and faith-integrated care when aligned with your values.

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by past experiences. In our work together, we’ll create a space that feels steady and supportive; one where healing can happen at your own pace and in alignment with your values.

If you’re looking for a therapist who can hold space for both your pain and your growth, I’d be honored to work with you.

John Claros

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have worked with clients in English/Spanish helping adults with co-occurring disorders, at-risk youth, children, adolescents and veterans, with exposure to trauma, neglect, abuse, and parents with parenting issues. Working with these clients early on in my career motivated me to help those who cannot help themselves. Working as a therapist is a rewarding experience as well as a privilege to be invited into another person's life. I find that in joining clients on their journey to make changes and overcome the difficulties in their lives it enables them to discover their best self.

As a therapist providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy, I utilize several frameworks derived from a number of models such as Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and Narrative.

I have certifications in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, Crisis Oriented Recovery Systems Model, and Managing and Adapting Practices. Also trained in Gottman Couples and EMDR.
