Hi, I’m Dr. Clarissa Wood — a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with young adults, college students, and families in clinical and university settings.
I specialize in evidence-based therapy and practical skills that help people build healthier relationships, communicate more clearly, and feel more confident in themselves. Throughout my career, I’ve provided therapy and assessments, supervised doctoral trainees and clinicians, and served in leadership roles within university counseling centers.
I’m also the founder of Illuminate Psychological Services, where I focus on helping individuals develop insight, resilience, and self-trust.
In my courses, I translate psychological science into clear, practical tools you can use in everyday life — no jargon, just skills that work.
