Bio:
Hi everyone, I’m Claire Finley. My goal at Hope and Healing Counseling is to provide a safe space to openly explore barriers that can prevent clients from maintaining joy in their lives. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved. My mission is to help clients find wholeness and know their inherent worth.
I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work, followed by a Master’s of Science in Clinical Social Work. During my time at university, I completed a variety of service and clinical hours working with children, families, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, and hospice.
After completing my education, I began working at a wilderness therapy program as a direct care worker and later as a supervisor, working with teenage girls navigating a variety of mental health concerns in a primitive/outdoor setting. From there, I continued my professional career in residential care with adult women facing similar challenges, using holistic healing methods alongside a dynamic team of professionals to address issues in clients’ lives as they moved toward healing and wholeness. Working with individuals, couples, and orchestrating group therapy to aid relationships with the self and others is something I am passionate about.
Currently, I work at Hope & Healing with all genders, teenagers and adults, as well as couples, incorporating a range of therapeutic models such as existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and reality therapy, as well as drawing on other theories of practice as needed to meet the individualized needs of each client. I have received training in Gottman Level 1 for couples and completed training in Mental Health First Aid for teens.
I am grateful to be a part of the Hope and Healing team and look forward to serving you

Bio:
Hi everyone, I’m Claire Finley. My goal at Hope and Healing Counseling is to provide a safe space to openly explore barriers that can prevent clients from maintaining joy in their lives. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved. My mission is to help clients find wholeness and know their inherent worth.
I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work, followed by a Master’s of Science in Clinical Social Work. During my time at university, I completed a variety of service and clinical hours working with children, families, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, and hospice.
After completing my education, I began working at a wilderness therapy program as a direct care worker and later as a supervisor, working with teenage girls navigating a variety of mental health concerns in a primitive/outdoor setting. From there, I continued my professional career in residential care with adult women facing similar challenges, using holistic healing methods alongside a dynamic team of professionals to address issues in clients’ lives as they moved toward healing and wholeness. Working with individuals, couples, and orchestrating group therapy to aid relationships with the self and others is something I am passionate about.
Currently, I work at Hope & Healing with all genders, teenagers and adults, as well as couples, incorporating a range of therapeutic models such as existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and reality therapy, as well as drawing on other theories of practice as needed to meet the individualized needs of each client. I have received training in Gottman Level 1 for couples and completed training in Mental Health First Aid for teens.
I am grateful to be a part of the Hope and Healing team and look forward to serving you

I am a licensed psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist with 22 years of experience as a therapist, evaluator, and consultant. As part of my work with Hope and Healing, I work with all individuals aged 18 and up who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness and/or a major life transition. My practice is firmly rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I believe effective therapy is impossible without a mutually respectful, honest, nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership.
I also believe that the mind-body connection is largely under-appreciated as the root source of life satisfaction and I truly enjoy helping people discover this over time. The groups of people I work with most often are students, parents, adult children of the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those who are simply lonely. I look forward to meeting you and offering you the support you need to change your path or simply improve it a little bit.

Bio:
Hi everyone, I’m Claire Finley. My goal at Hope and Healing Counseling is to provide a safe space to openly explore barriers that can prevent clients from maintaining joy in their lives. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved. My mission is to help clients find wholeness and know their inherent worth.
I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work, followed by a Master’s of Science in Clinical Social Work. During my time at university, I completed a variety of service and clinical hours working with children, families, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, and hospice.
After completing my education, I began working at a wilderness therapy program as a direct care worker and later as a supervisor, working with teenage girls navigating a variety of mental health concerns in a primitive/outdoor setting. From there, I continued my professional career in residential care with adult women facing similar challenges, using holistic healing methods alongside a dynamic team of professionals to address issues in clients’ lives as they moved toward healing and wholeness. Working with individuals, couples, and orchestrating group therapy to aid relationships with the self and others is something I am passionate about.
Currently, I work at Hope & Healing with all genders, teenagers and adults, as well as couples, incorporating a range of therapeutic models such as existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and reality therapy, as well as drawing on other theories of practice as needed to meet the individualized needs of each client. I have received training in Gottman Level 1 for couples and completed training in Mental Health First Aid for teens.
I am grateful to be a part of the Hope and Healing team and look forward to serving you

Bio:
As a Licensed Associate Counselor with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, I am a multicultural therapist who enjoys working with diverse communities. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, life adjustments, self-esteem, attachment issues, parenting styles, anger management, emotional/spiritual distress, and co-occurring disorders. I am open to expanding my horizon and working with individuals outside my expertise.
Throughout my time as a counselor, I have utilized various approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, person-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness, narrative therapy, art therapy, and acceptance therapy. I understand that there is no “one size fits all,” and I modify my approach according to each client’s unique needs.
My aim is to provide a warm, empathetic, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can process “Hope and Healing”.

Bio:
I am a licensed psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist with 22 years of experience as a therapist, evaluator, and consultant. As part of my work with Hope and Healing, I work with all individuals aged 18 and up who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness and/or a major life transition. My practice is firmly rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I believe effective therapy is impossible without a mutually respectful, honest, nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership.
I also believe that the mind-body connection is largely under-appreciated as the root source of life satisfaction and I truly enjoy helping people discover this over time. The groups of people I work with most often are students, parents, adult children of the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those who are simply lonely. I look forward to meeting you and offering you the support you need to change your path or simply improve it a little bit.
