Claire Parker
Claire Parker is a licensed clinical social worker who works with children, teens, and adults at every stage of life. She specializes in trauma, using EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients move past what’s been holding them back rather than just managing around it.
Claire has spent over a decade in the field, with the last several years focused specifically on trauma work. She believes therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, not a rehearsed script, and she meets each client where they are, whether that’s a child working through a hard transition, a teen navigating anxiety or identity, or an adult ready to finally deal with something they’ve carried for years. Her goal is simple: help people get unstuck and move forward with more confidence and less weight.
Claire’s Marriage Journey
“My own experience with marriage, therapy, and divorce has shaped the way I work with couples. During my marriage, we sought counseling when we found ourselves struggling, and I experienced firsthand how valuable it can be to have a space where both partners can slow down, listen, be vulnerable, and work toward something different. That experience continues to influence how I support couples today.
I believe partnership is at the heart of a healthy relationship. It takes two people who are willing to be intentional, take responsibility for their own growth, and truly show up for one another.
I also believe that knowing when to leave is important and not a decision to be taken lightly. Sometimes therapy helps couples find their way back to each other; other times, it helps them find clarity about whether staying together is the healthiest choice.
My goal is to help couples have the honest conversations they may be struggling to have on their own, understand their patterns, and make intentional decisions about what comes next with compassion for themselves and each other.”
