Claire Myers, LMSW
I work with all individuals through the life cycle spanning from older adults to children navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting families, and people dealing with grief and loss, including the loss of a pet. At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful transformation happens together. My role is to guide you as you choose to navigate the complexities of what it means to live. Connection to yourself and others is the intention that guides my work with you in the therapy room.
I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, along with somatic tools like grounding and nervous system regulation. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, and it rests on an understanding of how systems shape people. Family dynamics, systemic influences, culture, community, economic stress, and societal expectations all affect mental health, and what looks like an individual struggle is often a natural response to the environments we live in. We’ll explore those influences together, so you aren’t left carrying them alone. As a registered yoga teacher, I also bring a mind-body view of wellness into the room when it fits, with an opportunity for incorporating spirituality into therapeutic work.
My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You don’t have to have it all figured out when you walk in. This is a space to slow down, process, and build a life that reflects your values and feels more like your own.
