Dr. Clinae Watson strives to develop a meaningful and therapeutic relationship with you. She works from a cognitive behavioral/psychodynamic approach, where you can feel safe, heard, and empowered. Clinae specializes in working with individuals that experience anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She provides individual and group therapy sessions as well as services for psychological testing. Her desire and passion for helping others is intertwined with personal and professional life experiences.  

My goal is to help you gain insight into challenging patterns and emotions that may have impacted your ability to be your most authentic self. Together we’ll work to grow your self-awareness, deviate from self-destructive thoughts, and improve the quality of your relationships. Prior to joining Thrive Therapy Collective, I worked in community mental health with high-risk trauma patients. Currently, I am working towards licensure under the supervision of Dr. Laura Kahwaji.

As someone who has sat on the therapy couch myself, I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to reach out. Feel free to schedule a complementary 15-minute consultation if you’d like to connect and determine if we are the right fit. 

Dr. Watson offers telehealth to residents of California as well as in person in La Crescenta. She can be reached at clinae@thrivetherapycollective.com or (323) 201-7139. Dr. Watson is under the supervision of Dr. Laura Kahwaji (PSY30663).
