Claudia Stein, LCSW Years of experience: 28 License: LCS #21322 My name is Claudia Stein, LCSW. I have over 28 years of experience in treating people of all ages who have experienced mood disorders, adjustment disorder, addiction, co-existing disorders, malaise, loss of motivation and purpose, and grief and loss. Throughout my career I’ve demonstrated an ability to provide sincere emotional support, empathy, insight, and practical steps in reaching clients' goals. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I integrate a bio-psycho-social perspective on mental health, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other modalities, depending upon each case and what would be helpful, like Mindfulness meditation, psychoeducation, and Psychodynamic Therapy. In order to have an overall sense of well being, one must take steps towards improving not only their outlook and attitude, but also their lifestyles. More and more, we are becoming ever more aware of the impact that lifestyle, the foods we eat, the way we live, affects our mental health. I apply my clinical training and my life experiences in assisting clients to learn how to manage and overcome obstacles in order to their best lives. I look forward to hearing from you to see how I may be of help. Sincerely, Claudia Stein, LCSW
