Claudia Dimond, AMFT, APCC
“I believe healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always deserved care, understanding, and belonging.”
Claudia may be a particularly good fit for people who are:
• Navigating identity or belonging • Struggling with body image or their relationship with food • Exploring sexuality or gender • Recovering from substance use challenges • Living with OCD • Wanting to address relationship or attachment challenges • Struggling with people-pleasing and/or perfectionism • Wanting to understand themselves more deeply
Approach
Claudia’s approach is relational, with influences from depth psychology and psychodynamic therapy. She strives to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to slow down, explore your inner world, and gently question the stories you've carried about yourself. The goal is to look beneath the surface—not to pathologize you, but to understand yourself with greater compassion. Clients describe Claudia as warm, grounded, and deeply curious.

In Claudia’s own words:
“I believe that healing happens in relationship. Many of the ways we learned to protect ourselves—through people-pleasing, self-criticism, emotional distance, perfectionism, or caretaking—were developed in relationship with others. Therapy offers the opportunity to experience something different: a space where you can be fully seen, understood, and accepted while discovering new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I don't believe our struggles exist in isolation. The ways we move through the world are shaped not only by our families and early relationships, but also by the cultural, political, and social systems we live within. Experiences of oppression, identity, privilege, family expectations, gender, sexuality, race, body politics, and community all influence how we understand ourselves and what we believe is possible. I believe therapy should make room for all of it.”
