Claudia Duarte-Chairez, L.C.S.W.

I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping men and women heal their traumas, increase self-compassion and re-establish a strong emotional connection to themselves and others.

I see adults coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting issues and phase of life struggles. Many have experienced trauma; they have been carrying too much for too long. Together, we examine your past experiences and explore how those past experiences impact your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. As we begin to understand the origin of your behaviors, we work together to build your inner strength and wisdom and access the strengths that you already possess.
I provide a supportive, validating and non-judgmental environment, where all emotions are welcome. l am a trauma informed therapist who believes that honoring the impact of our experience is essential for healing. We will use and traditional talk therapy, along with other approaches including mindfulness, to practice slowing down and leaning into our feelings.
I believe sitting with your feelings is essential for growth and wellness. I know this can be scary, so I am here to listen, provide support and help guide you along the way. You are not alone. You will be supported. Therapy is a partnership, and we will work together. Email me for a free 15 min. consultation, to see if we are a good fit.
