Claire Perrault, Psy.D.

Therapeutic Approach: As a therapist, I utilize a psychodynamic, depth-oriented approach to help adults of all ages better understand themselves and the world around them through a lens of curiosity and self-compassion. I greatly value the healing power of relationships and believe that, as social creatures, humans are not meant to face life alone. As such, I aim to encourage greater connection between my clients and their communities. I strive to work together with my clients to develop a safe and trusting space to explore the variety of struggles that arise at a pace that is comfortable for them.

I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with the following issues:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Loneliness
• Relationship issues
• Interpersonal challenges
• Family difficulties
• Trauma
• Relational trauma
• Sexual trauma
• Women’s Issues
• Obsessive behaviors
• Compulsive behaviors
• Intrusive thoughts
