Let's Connect (323) 677-2796

I work with women and teens who feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or overwhelmed, even when life looks “fine” on the outside. Many of my clients have learned to push through, stay strong, or put others first, often without realizing how past experiences or relational patterns are shaping their present. Using a trauma-informed approach, therapy becomes a space to gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface, reconnect with emotions and the body, and build a sense of safety and self-trust.

I take an integrative approach using Somatic tools (how emotions show up in your body), Internal Family Systems (how different parts of us have protective functions), and psycho dynamic principles. I specialize in attachment issues, trauma, anxiety, and self-criticism.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. I'm here to walk alongside you - as a compassionate guide who believes deeply in your own ability to grow and heal.

I support adults and teenagers struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and the lasting impact of trauma. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. My work is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed, honoring how both body and mind carry stress and healing.

Healing from Toxic Relationships

Hosted by

Claudia Kleinschmidt

In this group we will be talking about our experiences with toxic relationships, the red Flags we ignored, and the things that kept us stuck. We will also learn about the cycle of abuse, trauma-bonding, and tools to create better boundaries and increase self-esteem. I am hoping this place will serve as a space of safety and understanding that can help us grow and thrive.
