Hello and welcome to my page! I am Claudine(she/her), and I am a master’s level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida and New Jersey with over 29 years of clinical experience. I am also a certified coach through the International Coaching Federation. I have both front-line and executive management experience.
I have worked with individuals and families from a wide range of backgrounds throughout my career. I specialize in treating adults struggling with trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and women’s issues. I deeply honor each person's individuality and unique life experiences. For this reason, my treatment method is tailored to fit the needs of each individual I work with.
I acknowledge you for seeking professional help and I would like to take a moment to honor and you for taking the first step in your journey of healing. Finding the right therapist to help facilitate and support your journey is of utmost importance in getting effective and lasting results. With this in mind, I have provided some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you.
The feedback I have received from clients is that they find me to be warm, empathetic, laidback, and light-hearted. My clients have also told me that they appreciate my honest, direct, yet compassionate communication style. When working with me, you can expect a respectful, open, and non-judgmental setting. I believe everyone is an expert on their own life and I view our working relationship as a collaborative partnership. I am simply here to provide empowerment, insight, and support in your healing process.
Psychotherapy can be very beneficial, but only if you are committed to putting in the work. As the old saying goes, “You get out what you put in.” With that said, as your therapist, I vow to be your biggest cheerleader along the way. I am here for you, I believe in you, and I look forward to witnessing you achieve all of the therapeutic goals you set for yourself! When working with clients I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in doing great things and overcoming things that challenge you.
My overall intention is to help you find the best way to live a life with meaning, joy, and authenticity.
