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

Erin Hamer
Hello! My name is Erin and I am from California. I have been a social worker for over 12 years and have experience working with people from all different walks of life who may be going through some struggling times. I received my Bachelor as well as my Masters of Social Work from Clark Atlanta University (CAU) with a concentration in Health/Mental Health. I understand it can be hard to find a counselor who you feel comfortable speaking with. My approach is empathetic and supportive. The feedback I’ve received from clients is that they find me to be nonjudgmental, relatable and honest. Much of my experience has been working with clients who are dealing with Relationship issues, Family conflict, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Woman’s issues, Spirituality and Coping with life changes. I would be a good match for anyone interested in a counselor of color and/or those seeking Christian counseling. I also have experience and am comfortable working with LGBTQ+ issues. I believe at beginning services where you are. I am available to you via phone, video and text depending on whatever is more comfortable for you. A majority of my availability is in the evenings but I can be flexible if needed during the day as well. I really enjoy my work and look forward to helping people learn more about themselves as they navigate through the world. Let us continue to reduce the stigma of mental illness as we grow and empower one another.

Dr. Jennifer Gildner
Hi there! Thanks for taking a look at my services. I am licensed to meet with people in Washington and California. I am scheduled for video/phone sessions Monday through Wednesday, check messages each weekday, and I am not scheduled to meet or check messages at weekends. If this schedule works for you, I hope you'll continue reading to get an idea about how I work with clients. Empowerment occurs when we transform intention to action. I have a collaborative yet challenging approach in my work with individual clients. Your mind is where intention moves toward action. I see it as my job to help you find answers that are already within you from a strengths-based approach. Because we are working together collaboratively, you have the freedom to express what you need from psychotherapy and I will want to spend time exploring how your cultural background impacts your presenting concerns. You're also in therapy for change and that's where my ability to challenge you comes in. I can provide a positive relationship in which you can learn about yourself and grow. Further, mindfulness is a large part of how I approach our work together, particularly as you are working toward new thoughts and behaviors with the goal of improving your life in general. If all this sounds like what you're looking for, I look forward to hearing from you!
