Welcome!
I’m Brooke Clavesilla, and I provide individual psychotherapy and trauma-informed yoga for women, Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and healing and helping professionals in Long Beach, California (CA) and throughout CA. I’m passionate about helping my clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, burnout, self-doubt and low self-esteem to reconnect with their authentic selves, build self-confidence and self-esteem and live fulfilling lives.
As a woman of color who wants to make a difference in the world, I understand firsthand the challenges that come with balancing caring for yourself and juggling social expectations.
You may feel like you have a lot on your plate. Your friends, family and colleagues are counting on you and you’re afraid to let them down. You’re finding—in between reaching for your goals and caring for others—that it’s becoming a challenge to put yourself first and heal.
Through providing individual psychotherapy and trauma-informed yoga, I help you create the safe space you need to silence the outside noise and take care of yourself. If you’re ready to turn your attention inward, nurture a compassionate relationship with yourself and heal, I’m here to support you.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Brooke prioritizes creating a safe and empowering environment for you to heal while drawing from various therapeutic modalities and weaving mind-body practices into her work.
