Cierra Clary MA LAPC

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

I work with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel hard to change—even when you really want to.

Before private practice, I spent years in community mental health, sitting with people through the messiness of grief, identity struggles, family conflict, and the kind of invisible pain that often goes unnoticed by others. Whether it stems from past experiences or current stressors, I help clients name what they’re carrying and build the tools to feel more grounded and in control.

I’m especially attuned to how anxiety, overthinking, impulse control issues, and difficulty setting boundaries can take a toll over time. These challenges often stem from deeper emotional wounds—even if you wouldn’t necessarily call them “trauma.” I create a space where we can gently explore what’s behind the symptoms and begin to untangle what’s been getting in your way.

I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes. I’ll ask meaningful questions, offer perspectives when they’re helpful, and bring structure and tools to support your growth. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical—we’ll take things at your pace and focus on what matters most to you.

If you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or just not like yourself lately, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
