Meet Clara Bertan

Hi, I’m Clara Bertan, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Over the years, I’ve worked in ministry, non-profit and faith-based mental health settings. I have a deep passion for walking alongside people in broken places. I believe healing and restoration happen in the context of authentic relationships. My experience working with people from all walks of life has reinforced my belief that there is hope and healing for everyone. I trust the Word of God has given us everything pertaining to life and that the presence of a caring Christian therapist can be a catalyst for profound healing and transformation.

I specialize in integrating biblical principles with effective therapeutic techniques to create the space for God’s healing presence. It is my honor to walk alongside you with compassion towards a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose.

Client Testimonials

  • "Clara set us up for success. She didn't shy away from tough topics and she was unafraid to hear us in conflict. She helped push me and my partner towards closeness with each other and with God. Could NOT recco Clara enough."

  • "I am forever thankful to Clara for helping and guiding me through one of the toughest seasons I've experienced. She is has the perfect balance of professionalism and also being a genuine friend. I looked forward to speaking with her each week and knew that I'd get a lot out of each session."

  • "Every week I'd walk away from our session not only feeling better but having action items to do on my own that would help me. There were so many times she would pick up on things that I didn't even have to tell her and that made me feel so known right from the beginning! Clara is the best of the best and I'm so thankful for her!"

I’m here to remind you that you were created and purposed for so much more.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns of anxiety, hopelessness and frustration; you’re not alone! Or maybe your relationship with your spouse or children feels strained and lacking the peace and joy you know it’s meant to have? Life’s stressors can feel overwhelming and it’s all too easy to get swept up in a sea of loneliness and silent suffering. I’ve seen this burnout firsthand and know how debilitating it can be to want more out of life without knowing just how to get there.

If you’re longing for a life with more peace, joy and purpose; then it’s time to make a change! I specialize in Christian Integrative Therapy, an approach that allows us, in partnership, to be open, real and transparent before a loving and good God, who delights to give you everything you need. I believe therapy should be highly relational and I will tailor our time together to meet your specific needs.

So sit back, take a deep breath and let’s get to work together!
