You’re in the right place!

From the outside, everything may seem fine…

But on the inside, it can feel like constant worry, frustration, or tension.

You might feel disconnected, like nothing you do quite feels like enough.

At times, it can feel like you’re falling short in more than one area of your life.

Finding balance isn’t always easy.

You may be showing up for others – even while navigating challenges of your own.

Managing the demands of your career – while things at home feel strained.

Trying to be the parent your child needs – without always knowing what that looks like.

These are the kinds of changes that can happen with the right support.

And when you’re ready to take that step, we’ll help you find an approach that works for you.

No matter what you’re going through, they will meet you with both the compassion and professional expertise you need and deserve to make it to the other side.”

“When I was looking for a counselor, my goals were to find someone I could be very open and honest with, be comfortable with telling my deepest fears and secrets to, and more importantly to find someone that could help me navigate through all of it. I found everything and more than I was looking for. I always leave the office feeling better than when I came in and ready to tackle all the challenges that life has to offer.”

Hi, I’m Claire
Clinical Director & Co-Founder

It takes courage to find hope – to look in the mirror and say, “I’m not going to live like this anymore.”

At Claibourne Counseling, YOU are the expert of YOU. Together, we will work to rediscover your strengths, move through past hurts, and start redefining what happiness looks like for you.

Your feelings and experiences are real, valid, and unique. Therapy can help you identify, understand, and accept these feelings while learning to communicate them in a way you will not only be heard but understood.

My number one goal for Claibourne Counseling is to help others tap into the natural abilities to heal themselves and to provide support throughout the tough yet rewarding journey.

It’s time to put your mind at ease so that you can start not only listening, but trusting your heart.

I’m glad you’re here!
