Claudia is an excellent dedicated therapist who avails herself and shows great support and offers insight and consistently gives a lot of excellent "food for thought"!

I’m not sure how I got so lucky, having never been to a therapist and not even sure how chosen one or what type of therapy I was looking for, someone somewhere must have been looking out for me. I got connected with Claudia on the very first time and she is wonderfully easy to talk with and has an incredibly diverse background and broad knowledge base. For someone like myself who has never been to therapy or dose not know exactly what they’re looking for she is great. I would recommend her to anyone that’s interested in getting help or looking for personal growth and maybe an outside perspective,

She is great at what she does and makes you feel comfortable talking to her. Her experience alone speaks for itself.

Claudia is a wealth of wisdom who has listened and challenged me to have the courage to look into the depth of my soul, and has helped me move forward in my life in numerous ways, while giving me the skill set and resources to tackle these challenges head on. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who’s struggling to listen and follow their heart!

Claudia is a very knowledgeable and helpful therapist. She has given me tools to help heal and deal with life's problems from an analytical view rather than reacting emotionally to a situation. I am grateful I have found her and highly recommend her if you are ready to change your perspective in life!

Therapy with Claudia Smith has made a huge difference in my personal life. She has helped me to face issues that I didn’t want to face and given me helpful articles so I can understand better different ways I can change my present reality and move forward. She also sends a personal message between sessions to give encouragement or just to make me smile & feel cared about after a difficult emotional event. She presents practical possible solutions to help me consider what is best for me, but I still can choose my OWN WAY!

She has paid attention to what I have to say and has given the advice that I needed to hear and has so far followed up and see how I am feeling and have other concerns or things I needed to share.

I went through, am going through a difficult break-up, and Claudia has been able to talk to me when I need it. She sensed my urgency and made time for me, and I appreciate it.

Claudia draws from real life experience and highly professional education/ experience. If you have ever navigated life you know how equally important both are to being a great therapist. I feel lucky to have found her. She cares and that is also an amazing attribute, not easily found. Claudia gave me quick advice which I immediately implemented and I am grateful.

Claudia is very communicative and genuinely cares. She reached out to me prior to every session to check if there was anything specific i wanted to talk about so she could be prepared for our calls. I really appreciate her honesty. Would recommend her over and over again.
