Cierra Clary MA LAPC

Hi, I’m Cierra, a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC).

I’ve spent the last several years working in community mental health—which is just a more formal way of saying I’ve sat with people in the real, complicated mess of life. I understand how hard it can be to carry pain that doesn’t always show on the outside.

I work with a wide range of mental health challenges, but I have a particular focus on trauma—whether from early life experiences or more recent events. I also support people struggling with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, impulse control, and boundary-setting. These are things we’re not often taught how to handle, yet they show up in our relationships, our bodies, and our everyday decisions.

I know what it’s like to move through the world feeling like you’re in survival mode—overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, trying to function while carrying things that feel too heavy to name. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about building something steady: safety, skills, clarity, and self-trust.

My role isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to help you find what works for you. We’ll go at your pace, and we’ll make space for the hard stuff without getting lost in it. I’ll bring structure when things feel scattered, and I’ll remind you of your strengths when they feel far away.

If you’re ready to take the edge off what you’ve been holding—and maybe even start to feel a little more like yourself again—I’d be honored to work with you.
