My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Claudia Stein, LCSW Years of experience: 30 License: LCS #21322 My name is Claudia Stein, LCSW. I have over 30 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. In recent times, we are becoming ever more aware of the impact that lifestyle,(i.e. the foods we eat, exercise, work-life balance), 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

There are seasons in life that are very unpredictable, 2020 for example! If you are finding that the last few months, weeks, maybe even years have been full of overwhelming amounts of change, transition and uncertainty, your are not alone. I understand the uncertainty of life can cause depression, anxiety, and unresolved traumas to arise. In every client I have ever seen, trauma has been experienced and expressed in different ways. My goal is to assist you with getting to the heart of the issues you are enduring, while embracing the resiliency and strength it took for you to make it this far. Emotional healing and relief is near. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care and practice a modality called Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a modality that focuses on healing the brain and the body. I also specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is a modality that is utilized when working with couples. Racial and religious traumas cause dysregulation in our bodies, minds, and hearts.

Sessions often focus on past trauma, triggers, attachment issues, affects of transracial adoptions, addictions, and substance abuse.
