Claudia Carballal-Benaglio, LPC
About me
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I provide bilingual (Spa/Eng) and multicultural counseling for people of diverse races and beliefs. As a therapist, life coach of more than 10 years, yoga practitioner, and former attorney, I bring a wide range of experiences to counseling, including the art of negotiation with couples and families, and the practice of self-understanding, self-awareness, and inquiry with individuals.
I’m primarily a cognitive behavioral therapist — I help you explore your thoughts and core beliefs to gain clarity and find solutions. I also facilitate observation of narrative and finding meaning in your experiences and the complexity of life. People usually seek my services when they are at a crossroads, are dealing with relationship conflict, difficult family dynamics, emotional turmoil, lack of clarity, anxiety, anger, or want to overcome past trauma. I have been seeing around 35-40 individuals per week in my private practice and with the mental health department of an organization. I look forward to meeting you and talking to you further.

After the sudden death of my husband I signed up with Better Help and was assigned Claudia. Excellent choice as she is compassionate and reminds me to be gentle with myself, as that is what I need right now.
