Claire McKenna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor -
Are you feeling disconnected from your relationships or struggling to create the type of relationships you want? You may be feeling alone or misunderstood by the people in your life. You may find that communicating with the closest people in your life like your partner, friends, or family seems to be fruitless. You may start to believe that you are the reason that your relationships aren’t working. But you don’t have to feel that way. I have helped clients to better understand themselves, more effectively communicate in their relationships, and shift their perspective about the role they play in those situations. I can do this with you too.
I have specialized training through the Gottman Institute that will help me to get a better picture of what is happening in your relationships. I will then be able to provide you with evidence based solutions that can begin to change your communication. I also have training working with survivors of trauma and know how to support their unique needs in a relationship. Together we can explore what you need out of your relationship and ways to navigate miscommunications..
It can be difficult to reach out to someone new. But feeling connected and heard is possible. I am accepting new clients for both in person and telehealth sessions. You can start this journey by calling for a free, over the phone consultation.
