Lorena Borella-Clements, LMFT

Lorena Borella-Clements is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oregon with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She blends clinical methods to match where a person is emotionally, physically, and spiritually, offering practical coping skills alongside space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Her approach emphasizes empathy and empowerment. Lorena supports clients through symptoms of trauma and PTSD, assists with grief and loss, and works with intimacy and attachment-related struggles. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication challenges, control and commitment concerns, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. Her work includes support around guilt, shame, forgiveness, family-of-origin patterns, and health-related challenges such as HIV/AIDS.

Born in Argentina and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area after immigrating at age six, Lorena brings a multicultural perspective to her practice. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University in Palo Alto. As an LMFT, she focuses on relational patterns and systems while attending to each person as an individual.

Lorena invites clients to take the courageous step toward healing and provides compassionate, skill-based therapy to support that process. Documentation for courts, custody/DHS, and HR is outside the scope of her practice.
