My name is Claire Madel and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they work through life’s challenges and move toward healing and growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and humanistic principles. I believe that healing happens in the context of a safe, attuned relationship—where your story is honored and your inner strengths are recognized. I work collaboratively with each client, helping them deepen self-understanding, build healthier relationships, and move toward lasting emotional well-being.

My background includes working with families in agency settings, supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse through non-profit organizations, helping young adults through significant life transitions and relationship concerns, and working with children in an elementary school setting to support their emotional and behavioral development. I have specialized training in EMDR, perinatal mood disorders, and trauma-informed care, which allows me to tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each client.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or the complex journey of relationships, I’m here to support you with empathy, insight, and care.
