Rising Sun Counseling LLC

Hi! My name is Claudia (they/them), and I’m a Certified Social Worker. As a queer, non-binary clinician, I’m passionate about creating an affirming, trauma-informed space for queer and trans folx to show up fully and authentically. I center social justice in my work, recognizing how systems of oppression impact mental health and access to care, and I strive to provide therapy that is not only healing, but liberating.

My clinical focus includes working with anxiety, depression, and trauma, particularly within LGBTQIA+ communities. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I’m here to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom, strength, and resilience. I hold a deep understanding that behaviors often stem from unmet needs, and I work collaboratively with you to explore and address those root causes with care and compassion.

With over six years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, I’ve worked with people navigating substance use disorders, serious mental illness, trauma, and life transitions. I also bring a strong working knowledge of the social services system, and I’m committed to connecting clients with the resources they need to thrive.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also incorporating a holistic and person-centered lens. I believe that healing is possible for everyone—no matter where you're starting from—and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
