Clarissa Hodges, LPC-A | Therapist (Austin, TX)

With ten years of experience supporting children and families in schools as both an educator and a school counselor, Clarissa brings knowledge, compassion, and authenticity to her work. She believes every child has the tools within themselves to create meaningful change; sometimes they just need a guide to help them discover their strengths and navigate the journey.

Clarissa creates a safe, supportive space where kids feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves, because she believes genuine connection is at the heart of growth. She knows lasting change often involves the whole family, and she values collaboration, trust, and a family-centered approach to helping children thrive.

Believing that growth doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful, Clarissa celebrates the small victories just as much as the big breakthroughs. Whether it’s getting through a tough day, finding new ways to connect, or finding a little humor in the chaos, she meets each family with curiosity, compassion, and encouragement. Her goal is to help children and families feel seen, heard, and empowered to work through challenges and embrace their strengths. After all, progress isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about discovering just how capable you’ve been all along.
