Claire is hands down the best therapist I have ever had. She genuinely cares and has always been able to provide me with the best methods. Even during the lowest moments of my life, when I felt completely misunderstood by the closest people around me, she never judged me or my actions. She gave me a new outlook on life and has helped me mentally persevere through one of the worst times of my life. Because of her I finally feel heard and understood. I implement the tools she provided me into different situations daily. This has helped me effectively communicate and listen to others creating an overall positive impact in all aspects and areas of my life. I would highly recommend Claire to everyone! Thank you Ms. Claire! :)

In the short time that I have worked with Claire Thombs I have found her to be compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental. This is very important to me because it makes it much easier to be vulnerable and honest. Claire is always prepared for our sessions and ensures that I am also prepared by providing me with worksheets that we can talk through during our sessions. She is a rapid responder to messages which makes me feel like I am important to her. I would recommend Claire to anyone who feels out of sorts with the world we live in.
