Clement Wilson Fonseca, LCSW (he/him) is a licensed clinical social worker who provides individual and group therapy for people across the lifespan. Guided by respect for clients’ self-determination and autonomy, Clement supports people navigating trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and relational challenges. He creates a space where clients can come home to themselves, remember and attune to their own nature and rhythms, and connect more authentically with others.

Clement integrates somatic, narrative, and parts-based approaches with trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and expressive arts. That means sessions might include talking through your story, tuning into body sensations, exploring different parts of yourself, practicing grounding or mindfulness, and sometimes using creative expression to help make sense of your feelings and experiences. Clement also teaches practical skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In simple terms, “dialectical” means finding balance between two opposite ideas or truths. For example, accepting yourself as you are while also working to change. These skills help clients notice and regulate emotions, manage stress, and strengthen relationships in ways that feel authentic, balanced, and sustainable. 

As a queer and transgender man, Clement brings personal experience with identity and life transitions, offering support that honors complexity, moves beyond rigid categories, and helps people grow personally and in their relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches:

• Narrative therapy –  stories our political, as much as they are personal – reauthor your stor(ies) in ways that stand up to socially constructed scripts
• Somatic therapy – listen to the body’s wisdom
• Parts-based therapy – welcome all parts of self
• Trauma-informed care – nurture safety and trust
• Mindfulness-based – rest in the present moment
• Expressive arts – express through creativity
• DBT skills coaching – find balance in daily life

What I can help with:

• Treatment-resistant depression – try novel ways of healing
• Anxiety – find steadiness in daily life
• Developmental and relational trauma – repair what relationships hurt
• Burnout and chronic stress – regain rest and renewal
• Queer and trans identity exploration – affirm authentic self
• Exploring transgender masculinity – emerge into a masculinity that fits you
• Spiritual inquiry and existential questions – reflect on meaning and purpose
• Life transitions and threshold moments – navigate change with support
• Relational patterns – learn to ask and receive

Beyond the therapy room, Clement finds love and connection in the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of water, and by sharing life with their spouse, friends, family, animals, and delighting in the small, beautiful moments of everyday life.
