Claudio Barrientos

As a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher through Brown University, I offer mindfulness and meditation instruction grounded in both contemplative practice and modern psychological science. My work integrates mindfulness meditation, self-compassion, neuroscience-informed stress reduction, and evidence-based approaches including ACT, DBT, and MBCT. I support individuals seeking greater emotional balance, resilience, clarity, and presence in their daily lives. My teaching emphasizes practical, accessible mindfulness practices that can be integrated into work, relationships, stress management, and overall well-being. I guide clients in developing greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and habitual patterns while cultivating compassion, intentionality, and psychological flexibility. My approach is warm, grounded, experiential, and nonjudgmental. Whether working with beginners or experienced practitioners, I aim to create a supportive environment where individuals can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build sustainable mindfulness practices for modern life.
