Claudia Duarte-Chairez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I work with individuals navigating the impacts of past experiences on their current emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Together, we'll explore patterns and work toward healing and self-empowerment in a compassionate, non-judgmental space.

My focus

I have experience working with individuals who have dealt with abuse and neglect, as well as those experiencing anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship stressors.

My approach

I use an eclectic, client-centered approach to help clients examine past experiences and how those experiences impact current emotions, behaviors, and functioning. With compassion and a non-judgmental approach, together, we will work toward healing and self-empowerment.

My communication style

I value the relationship between client and therapist and believe this is one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process. Therefore, I strive to provide a safe space for my clients by providing a supportive, validating, and non-judgmental environment in hopes that they will feel comfortable being their true selves.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare has been shaped by working with individuals facing abuse, neglect, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship stressors. This work has fueled my passion for helping others heal and find empowerment.

My goals for you

I recognize that you are the expert of your life, and I am here to listen, provide support, and help guide you to where you want to be. I believe therapy is a partnership; we will work together to help you achieve your goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals and what you hope to achieve, and we'll begin building a foundation of trust and collaboration for our work together.
