I’m Claudio Arámburu

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

⭐ About Claudio

I’m an associate marriage and family therapist, born in the Indigenous community of Chamula in Chiapas, and raised in the vibrant tapestry of Mexico City before moving to the United States at 16. With four years of experience supporting children, teens, adults and families through challenges like addiction, trauma, and cultural transitions, I deeply believe in the healing power of human connection. My work is about walking alongside each person, honoring their unique path as they uncover resilience and growth.

👍 Fun facts about Claudio

  • Favorite game ♟️
    Chess. My father taught me how to play, and it’s been something special we’ve shared ever since. It’s a relaxing yet challenging way to unwind and embrace the moment.

  • Favorite snack 🍪
    If I could only have one snack forever, it would be cookies—especially classic chocolate chip. They’re comforting, a little nostalgic, and always satisfying!

  • Free Time ☀️
    Every Saturday morning, my dogs (Dante & Sombra) and I head out for a long hike. It’s one of my favorite parts of the week—getting out in nature, watching them explore, expanding their world and just enjoying the peace of the outdoors.

➕ More about Claudio

  • A fun fact that might surprise people: my first words were actually in Tzotzil! I was born in the Indigenous community of Chamula in Chiapas, so I must have picked up the language from everyone around me. Now, though, I’m only fluent in Spanish and English—Tzotzil remains a unique part of my early life that I don’t remember but still cherish.
