Adam Clement - LCMFT

What Clients and Colleagues Say

I have made so many positive and helpful changes in my life thanks to my work with Alix. She helped me change the way I view myself and the world, which has changed how I interpret and react to situations and my own emotions.

Reshma’s passion and compassion shows through her work. Reshma helped me heal.

Rachael is great at creating a safe and comfortable space. I love how she is able to make you feel like you’re not alone. I’m so glad to have such a fabulous therapist!

“my counselor Joanna is really helping me. My cup is no longer empty.” -Client of Joanna

Rachael has not only helped my daughter address and express her feelings towards me, she also helped me understand my daughter’s feelings and worked through it with us to create a long lasting healthy teen parent relationship

“You changed my entire life and my perspective of what a healthy relationship should look like. Thank you. “
-Former Client of Luciana

Reshma really took the time to truly listen to me and validate me. I feel like I could talk to her about anything.

I have seen Adam for five years. A death in the family prompted my seeking him out, but I soon realized how helpful his expertise would be in all areas of my life. Over the five years, Adam helped me grow in self-realization and confidence. Adam is logical, caring, resourceful, kind and earnest.

Alix helped me reframe experiences and situations in my life. I am stronger and more resilient now, and feel like I know how to handle challenges that come my way.

I highly recommend Adam for individuals, couples and families that have a need and/or a desire to seek a safe, trustworthy and effective therapist.

I have learned more about myself in the last 6 months than I have the last 22 years of my life. I no longer avoid any problems that arise. Thanks to Rachael, I now have a belt full of tools to help me face life head-on and keep moving forward!

Adam helps empower you to be your best self and also to examine your stumbling blocks so you can be kinder to yourself, understand your nature and achieve your goals. Adam fosters a trusting and safe environment for you to approach some of the more difficult or touchy aspects in your psyche, eventually helping you feel. whole and able to accept yourself.

I will forever be grateful for Rachael’s words of wisdom and advice.

“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the transformative experience I had during therapy with Ms. Silva. When I first embarked on this journey, I was filled with doubts and uncertainties, but now, as I reflect on the progress I’ve made, I can confidently say that it has been one of the most profound and life-changing decisions I’ve ever made.”
-Former Client of Luciana

“My therapist provided a safe and empathetic space where I felt truly heard and understood.”
-Former Client of Luciana

Adam is very knowledgeable about his craft and makes you feel really comfortable immediately. He is really easy to talk to about truly anything; very down to earth. Adam takes the time to really listen and guide you into the path that works for YOU. He does a great job at explaining things in a different way for you to really grasp what is happening. He doesn’t rush things where you feel like you are “out of time”. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for help. I know I’m blessed that I stumbled across him.

In group, Rachael goes above and beyond for everyone, searching for resources in books and videos that will help us better grasp the lesson and tools we are learning. She makes group fun and safe and supportive. Rachael takes the time to get to know you as a person not by your diagnosis and she has helped teach me how to live with my anxiety disorder instead of trying to fight against my disorder.

I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is looking for an understanding and empathetic therapist. Adam is professional and knowledgeable and understands what the patients’ needs are. Working with Adam has been extremely beneficial for me and I am grateful to have him as a therapist. I have always felt at ease talking with Adam and appreciate all his help immensely.

I’ve never connected with a therapist like I have with Alix. She makes me feel understood and heard in a way I never have before. I am blessed and grateful to have found her.

Reshma is an excellent therapist. She will always have my respect and admiration. Thanks for your great work and dedication, as always, Reshma.

Adam listens exceedingly well. He would recall many things I had said or referred to in previous sessions, and I knew it was because he practiced active listening and truly cares about his client’s success and well. being. Adam knows a lot of the latest thinking in mental health care and is able to break it down and apply it to your life.

I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical of therapy, let alone group therapy! I have tried going to therapy before and always left feeling just as stuck, confused, and alone as when I started. Then I was lucky enough to meet Rachael and for the first time I felt like someone truly saw me and understood the pain and anxiety that had been holding me back from living life to its fullest potential

” For the first time I am actually excited to come to counseling.” -client of Joanna
