I’m Claudiana, a Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and cultivate emotional well-being. With a warm and understanding approach, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. With specialized training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), I tailor therapy to your unique needs.
My expertise includes anxiety and depression, stress management, migratory grief and cultural adjustment, self-esteem and confidence issues, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and perinatal mental health. I know that opening up can feel daunting, which is why I prioritize building an authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship.
Together, we will define meaningful goals and develop a personalized, client-centered approach to support your growth, healing, and overall well-being. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision. Let’s work together to help you find clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of balance.
