My therapist has been exceptional at finding out the underlying causes for my depression and anxiety beneath all the other behaviors that are perceived as abnormal. She is compassionate, I feel safe, and I trust the exercises and her opinions about different types of mental health. I would highly recommend her.

Claudia has been very helpful with talking out parts of my life. I have some highs where I dont do too much on here cause I'm busy and I have my lows where things become too much and I reach out. She's very understanding of my crazy schedule and helps when I'm able to reach out. It's been nice and she's there to listen.

She has been helpful in identifying a number of factors that have been most significant for my anxiety. She has also helped identify several underlying triggers and family dynamics, while being very personable and supportive. She is flexible with scheduling and understanding if you prefer video or phone. Good experience overall.
