Get to know me

Hello there! I am Clara Contreras; a mother, a wife, a trained psychologist with a master’s degree in clinical social work, and a certified pediatric sleep consultant. I was born in Colombia and I moved to the US after graduating as a Psychologist. I earned a graduate degree in Social work, and later obtained a clinical licensure to practice. I have over 20 years of experience working on child abuse and neglect prevention, strengthening families, and advocating for the emotional well-being of children of all ages – from bouncing babies to stressed-out teens! After a relocation to a new and very different country I traded in my briefcase and service notes for backpacks and embraced the joys (and challenges!) of full-time motherhood. Motivated by a desire to further empower families, I decided to obtain a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant. My ultimate goal? To foster a sense of well-being for both child and family, promoting a more peaceful and restful home environment.
