Clara Pellizzari

Therapist

Virtual • California


You don't have to have been in a crisis for your struggles to be real -- but if you have, I've likely sat in rooms like the ones you've been in. My career has taken me through emergency rooms, correctional facilities, the Veterans Administration, and child protective services. What that experience taught me is how resilient people are, and how much the right support at the right moment can change everything. Today I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, sleep challenges, and the weight of physical health concerns. If life has been hard, I know how to meet you where you are

Therapist

I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who, despite their success, struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You may look confident on the outside, but inside, you feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from true fulfillment. I understand the unique pressures that come with success and provide a supportive space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Makando Mutanda

Makando Mutanda

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, I’m Makando Mutanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles and the founder of Sela, an integrative therapy practice. I created Sela as a space for individuals and couples seeking care that attends to the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience. As a first-generation immigrant born in Kitwe, Zambia, I bring a personal understanding of how culture, identity, and belonging shape the way people move through the world. These experiences influence how I listen and how I approach therapy, with attention to context, nuance, and the many layers that inform a person’s internal process. I often work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed or weighed down by ongoing responsibilities, relational dynamics, professional demands, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel supportive. I also support couples seeking to better understand one another, strengthen communication, and move through periods of change together.I have over six years of clinical experience and received my graduate training in Social Work and Public Health at the University of Southern California. My work has included community mental health settings, university counseling centers and PhD training programs. I support individuals and couples navigating relationships, identity exploration, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and intimacy concerns.My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, and somatic practices. I work collaboratively with clients and believe that people carry insight and wisdom shaped through experience. My role is to walk alongside clients as they develop understanding, cultivate inner resources, and tend to their healing in ways that can continue beyond therapy and be integrated into daily life. Thank you for taking the time to explore how therapy at Sela might support you.
