Claudia Pasquarette
I specialize in supporting teenagers, college students, adults, and exhausted parents as they work through major life transitions. Whatever you are experiencing, your feelings make complete sense—and together, we can figure out a clearer path forward. Life rarely comes with a clear roadmap, and simply managing your daily checklist can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Whether you are navigating self-doubt, feeling hijacked by anxiety, or realizing that your usual ways of coping with stress or anger are no longer working, you don't have to navigate it alone.
I will strive to assist you in finding your answers to life's struggles with compassion and honesty.
First session
The goal of our first session is simply to get to know each other and see how it feels to talk. I want to learn about what you are hoping to get out of therapy, and I'll do everything I can to make you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment we meet. By the end of our first conversation, we will decide together if we are a good match and outline what our path forward will look like.
Strengths
Therapy with me is an active partnership. I bring warmth, open dialogue, and practical tools to every session—never passive, silent head-nodding. Healing isn't linear, and real progress requires examining how the stories you tell yourself affect your emotional and physical well-being. In our sessions, we will actively catch and reframe negative self-talk, build mindfulness habits to regulate stress before it boils over, and use structured strategies to heal from past trauma. Above all, we focus on actionable steps you can carry into your daily routine to build lasting focus, emotional control, and personal balance.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Negative and irrational thoughts often keep us stuck. I can help you identify, challenge, and restructure your negative self-talk. That awareness and shift in thinking can help you overcome anxiety, improve your mood, and manage anger in healthier ways.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Utilizing mindfulness techniques will help you reduce stress, release tension, improve emotional and physical awareness leading to improved mental well-being.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy is a short-term evidence based approach for treating PTSD and related conditions. It is a form of cognitive therapy that aims to change how an individual interprets past traumatic events in their lives reducing the negative effect of the trauma on their daily functioning.
