Claudette Gaynor, LMHC

I haven't gotten very far yet in my own personal journey, but it is so nice to have a fresh set of eyes to be able to help me see behaviors I've been doing for a long time.

When I have concerns, they are met with clarifying questions and I LOVE that!

When I'm struggling to pinpoint an answer, we stop and slow down, and recenter focus and calmness, and that's something I haven't had a lot of practice in. It's nice to feel listened to, but also gently directed towards better ways of doing things, which is exactly what I wanted!

I see a lot of personal growth in myself after attending my sessions with Claudette. She not only helped me open up, she taught me how to express my feelings without fear. She helped me structurize my reactions and emotions to a given circumstance in life and I am now able to find my own solutions without getting absorbed into the emotions. I am now able to keep my emotions out of the way I find solutions to my life issues which means my mental health is getting stronger and I feel motivated to live my life peacefully.

I cannot be more grateful.
