This realization is where my commitment began. My name is Claudia Arias. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, mother, wife, and soul tender, who is passionate about helping people heal from their past experiences and embrace their greatest potential. Sacred Space Counseling was born out of my desire to offer a truly supportive, nonjudgmental, healing space, where together, we can listen to the voice of your soul and seek YOUR meaning. In a field dominated by talk therapy, I created Sacred Space with the intention to serve those who feel like their story is “too messy”, traumatic, or complicated to be heard, much less healed. Over time, my private practice has become a sanctuary, offering versatile services that integrate a traditional, in-depth holistic approach as well as EMDR and mindfulness modalities to target the specific needs of clients.

After graduating from Pacifica Graduate Institute, I honed my expertise in working with children, adolescents, and families, especially those who have experienced sexual abuse, anxiety, trauma, Lyme disease, and other medical conditions that trigger mental health symptoms. By utilizing integrative techniques, I am able to address the connection between the mind and body, allowing individuals to reclaim every aspect of their lives throughout their healing process.
