“Imagine if therapy sessions meant spending time with a deeply empathetic professional who not only has cool art supplies you can play with but can also explain the science of how the pathways of your brain respond to trauma? Working with Clare was so important for some key transitions in my life, and I’d strongly recommend her thoughtful and client-centered approach to anyone who is looking to do better by their mental health. ”

“Clare’s passion and thoughtfulness is something so special. She is the therapist that has had the greatest impact on my life in eleven years. Thank you.”

“I often thank my lucky stars I was connected to Clare during a time of utmost need in my life. She has been an incredible and invaluable helper and healer, from both times of very serious mental crisis, and better days I have been able to find, very much thanks to her!

My time working with Clare opened me up to the power of creating art. As a creative person who sometimes struggles with being able to keep art as an important and healing part of my life, being able to create in a safe space has been so wonderful. I had never before been able to use Art Therapy, but I highly recommend it, and if you are looking for a therapist with these talents, please seek her out.

Clare is brilliant, kind, funny, patient and so open-minded. As a queer person of color this has been so important to me, and I always find safe space in our sessions. I have been able to go so far with more peace I had known prior to working with her, and I am so genuinely grateful she is a therapist in Chicago!”

“Working with Clare has been a comforting, repeated opportunity to feel heard and to feel understood after a week’s worth of whatever has fogged up my brain. Coming from someone who is normally not comfortably vocal about what’s going on in my brain, it’s definitely an easy experience decompressing in a therapy session with her. To be a 20-something musician living in our current day and age, it’s nice to feel heard, supported, and inspired to keep on creating through the corporate-world-navigating, freaking out, and whatever else feels tricky to process.”

“I’ve valued the time we’ve had together so much, and you’ve walked beside me through some of the toughest periods of my life. I will forever be grateful to you for that, and I won’t soon forget it.”
