Claire O’Dell

Mental Health Coach, Reiki Practitioner, AMFT

Mental health services focusing on expanding self awareness, creating self compassion and finding clarity through the exploration of our inner landscape.

What is Clarity Coaching:

I believe that everyone benefits from having someone to talk to.

My style of coaching resembles a therapy session. This is a space to explore anything that is showing up in your life or keeping you stuck. My experience includes, but is not limited to:

Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Grief, Death, Life Transitions and Self Exploration.

Together we reflect on the past, find knowledge in the present and move forward toward your desires and goals with more clarity.

I use an integrated approach that draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, compassion focused techniques and mindfulness.

I employ a trauma informed lens and believe that nonjudgemental, kind and confidential communication can lead to powerful healing.

About me

I live in Santa Barbara, CA but I can work with clients anywhere in the world. I have a masters degree in clinical psychology and am registered as an associate marriage and family therapist. I have training in Reiki, breath-work and mindfulness.

As an AMFT I am in pursuit of becoming a somatic and psychedelic therapist, helping people move through grief and depression. As I continue on that path, I have also embraced the coaching world which allows me to provide confidential and flexible mental health coaching sessions. As a coach I don’t diagnose clients and I am unable to take insurance. However, being a coach allows me to charge a lower fee and be as accessible as possible. I am curious about all human experience and find it to be the truest honor when clients share theirs with me.

When I am not seeing clients you will find me playing beach volleyball with friends, hiking with my fiancé and son or re centering myself in the ocean.

Reviews

  • "I have worked with Claire as my healer for numerous Reiki sessions. I benefited immensely from the combination of talking before and after our Reiki session, where we explored sticking points in my life and how that shows up in my body. In a world where I'm constantly in my head, Claire grounded me in my breath and body with a specific understanding of where I'm at in life."

  • "I was new to reiki but found that the dual talk-meditation combination was incredibly grounding and therapeutic. Claire is so welcoming and patient, I cannot recommend her enough!"

  • "In our Reiki session, I felt like she was my partner in embodiment -- I've found this aspect of Claire's practice totally unique and particularly healing given the ways I often feel disconnected from my body moving through the world."

  • “Claire is wonderful, and she really helped me make the personal progress I was looking to make! I had never done Reiki before seeing Claire, and it was a great experience. She has such a warm, compassionate, and calm style, and she really eased me in to help me understand what to expect and get the most out of it. Great listener and offers helpful insight to help me find inner confidence and clarity. “

  • "I came to Claire for my first ever Reiki/Talk Therapy session and absolutely loved it. Her warm, calming presence made me feel at ease, and she walked me through what to expect so I felt prepared. She helped me talk through some current challenges in my life and helped me connect my mental state to my body. I left feeling more grounded, more relaxed, and with more clarity."
