My name is, Claudia Villierme, M.Ed., MFT, & APCC. I extend a comfortable and warm approach to therapeutic session work. While topics within our session may be complex, I believe the process of building rapport, listening, reflecting, and brainstorming our options can be simple. By offering a combination of therapies (depending on your needs), I approach most clients with a trauma-informed approach (understanding that most of us have had trauma and adversities in our past). I intend to build a rapport and a safe space where we can find a therapeutic approach for your care- as an individual.

As your therapist, I know the relationship between us matters the most for the work we do together. You want presence, connection, a real human- that's what I provide! I show up for couples who are looking to build more confidence in their ability to talk about the "hard things", become masters at handling conflict, & see each other with more grace, humor and positivity. I work with individuals who want to feel less anxious socially and relationally, and learn to express their thoughts and feelings with self-assurance, make decision out of care instead of fear, and have compassion for themselves, even when they make a misstep.

Struggling with low self-esteem jeopardizes our everyday life. It drastically affects our confidence, limits our potential, and hinders us in our pursuit of happiness. Our thoughts are consumed by doubt, self-dislike, and shame, causing our dreams to slowly slip away from us. We start to rely heavily on the acceptance and opinion of others, but soon forget that the most important view of ourselves lies within. This space is for finding your true self, embracing it confidently, and for learning to see yourself with loving eyes.
