Life can sometimes be unpredictable and feel overwhelming. I am here to help you navigate your path when it gets difficult and causes anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues and maladaptive means of coping like substance abuse. Through an integrative approach utilizing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, we will identify thoughts and behaviors that are not serving you. I have worked with adults, adolescents and couples struggling with life transitions, stress management, self-doubt, sexual issues, trauma and addiction. If you are seeking a non-judgmental, supportive environment where you can receive collaboration and guidance to make changes towards a more fulfilling, easeful life, please reach out.

Claire D'Andrea, LISW-CP

Sometimes people find that they have unhealthy ways of dealing with strong emotion. Learning new techniques can be very difficult, but I am here to help. I use creative, eclectic, philosophical, and spiritual techniques in my therapy. I have experience with teens, adults, couples and families. Whether you’re just a little stressed out, going through a tough life transition, or you’re experiencing acute crisis – talking to someone can help. My specialty is designing therapy around what you’re going through – Depression, anxiety, addiction, self harm, or relationship problems; we’ll work together to get through it. Each person is on a unique path and I believe therapy should be tailored to you individually. Whether you’re looking for a listening ear, gentle guidance, or strong coaching I intend to create a relationship that encourages growth and change.
