Olivia Clear, LPC

You've done the insight-driven work. You can name your patterns in real time: the moment the critic comes online, the body tightens, and the clarity disappears. You understand why you feel this way, but the understanding hasn't reached your nervous system. You reach for your phone, you organize something that doesn't matter, and you quietly step out of the moment you actually wanted. This is not a discipline problem. It is not a communication failure. It is a protective response from a system that learned, long ago, that being fully seen is a risk. You don't need more analysis; you need a different kind of capacity. -Relational Depth First: We meet weekly to build a rhythm that ensures you are never dropped after a big experience, and that builds a relationship strong enough to hold the intensity of the work. -Somatic Anchoring: You'll develop tools to stay present when states feel expansive or disorienting. We focus on what your system becomes capable of holding, not just what you encounter during a ketamine session. -Creative Integration: The psyche speaks in images and sensation before it speaks in words. Depending on what serves you, we may use art-making, visualization, or writing: in session, between sessions, or not at all. This is your process; I follow your lead. -Home as Sanctuary: We prepare your physical and internal landscape so your set and setting feels like a protected ritual space, not a clinical environment. -Coordinated Care: I work closely with a medical partner for your evaluation, ensuring your therapeutic and clinical support are in genuine conversation. You feel deeply and want to live authentically, not just survive. You may be navigating depression, anxiety, creative blocks, or spiritual disconnection. Your insight has outpaced your nervous system, and you are ready for work that reaches where analysis alone cannot. I meet clients throughout California via telehealth. Finding a fit for work this deep requires more than reading a bio, it requires a sense of how we land together.
