I specialize in working with teens and adults who might struggle with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, chronic self blame, or are experiencing difficulties with life transitions and relationships. Using a safe and supportive relationship, I practice a holistic and integrative approach aimed at helping my clients navigate life stressors, process and integrate the past into present day patterns of living, and prioritize their emotional health so they can thrive in their authentic selves.

I'm passionate about supporting teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I specialize in helping them manage school, family stress, and substance use. With warmth and curiosity, I practice an integrative psychotherapy approach inspired by mindfulness, social and environmental justice. I help clients reflect on past struggles, understand present patterns, and explore future goals.

Claudia Mei Hammerschmidt, AMFT #140080

I’m a therapist passionate about helping people navigate loss, whether from a relationship ending, the death of a loved one, or job changes. I use a trauma-informed approach to guide clients through the healing process and support them in finding personal growth through their challenges. I believe therapy is most transformative when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. It can be tough at first, but through that process, you’ll start to feel deeply seen and understood, in a way that’s rare in everyday life.

Claudia has morning, afternoon and evening availability.
