Growing up in today’s world is HARD. Your kids are inundated with filters, highlight reels and endless opportunities to feel left out or less than. Is your adolescent struggling to find their place? Have they become less interested (or not interested at all) in activities they used to enjoy or at least be open to trying? Do they seem withdrawn, consumed by thoughts of what others think? Less motivated and/or moodier than usual? Maybe you’ve looked into therapy before but you can’t get your child to agree to go sit across from an adult and talk about their feelings week after week ("I'm not going!")

I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety or who are simply unhappy with their lives. Using a method I call Health Realization I help my clients understand how to access their own inner health to provide more well-being and more satisfaction with daily life. Most of my clients report feeling happier and more satisfied with their lives as a result. They have a more positive perspective toward life in general and feel more joy and well-being.

My name is Claudia Hadley, LICSW. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with individuals to help improve and enrich their lives. I see that a good deal of compassion and understanding is needed in this "journey" in order to better deal with the challenges as we face our every day. The issues I feel strongly have to do with gaining a sense of inner peace through developing mindfulness, acceptance, self compassion and forgiveness. I see these needs as people navigate down the avenues of their life...learning how to find happiness.

As of September 2023, regrettably my practice is full. Developing a therapeutic alliance based on respect and empathy is the first step in my work with clients. With a genuine connection, I help clients develop increased insight and improved coping strategies to better manage their symptoms, and ultimately improve daily functioning and life satisfaction. I work collaboratively with clients around their clinical needs to ensure their established goals are being met. I use empirically based approaches such as CBT, ERP, ACT and mindfulness. My current work at McLean Hospital keeps me knowledgable about new developments in the field.

Compassion is the most significant and integral component of therapy. My goal is to create a warm, respectful environment in which clients feel comfortable exploring their innermost feelings. Genuine and empathic in my approach, I believe in the strength of the individual to face life's challenges and to create new patterns of behavior and communication. I also believe clients must have compassion for themselves. Such compassion will lead to greater curiosity of the self and acceptance of one's experiences. This, in turn, enables the individual to see more clearly, gain new perspectives and find new solutions.

My belief is that each client has within them the ability for positive change and healthy functioning. I consider it a privilege to hear clients' stories and strive to create a safe and collaborative environment in which we can explore strengths and challenges.

I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.
