Claire Bell is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who brings specialized training as a Medical Family Therapist and a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective to her work with individuals and couples facing complex life challenges.

With particular expertise in chronic illness support, relationship issues, and life transitions, she creates a therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely heard while working toward their personal goals. Claire particularly enjoys working with young adults, men, and couples, understanding the unique challenges these populations face and bringing targeted interventions that address both immediate concerns and long-term growth.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), multicultural considerations, and biopsychosocial-spiritual frameworks. This comprehensive methodology allows her to attune to each dimension of the person—biological, psychological, social, and spiritual—addressing all areas of clients' lives as needed. Claire's Medical Family Therapy training uniquely positions her to work effectively with clients managing chronic illness or navigating multiple medical and psychological challenges simultaneously.

With a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Claire brings strong academic foundations to her clinical practice. Her specialized training as a Medical Family Therapist has equipped her with a sophisticated understanding of how physical health, mental health, relationships, and spiritual well-being intersect to influence overall functioning. This comprehensive preparation enables her to provide holistic care that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, particularly for clients dealing with complex medical and psychological presentations.

Outside the therapy room, Claire finds peace and fulfillment through her passion for aquatic environments and life. She enjoys maintaining fish tanks and raising aquatic plants, activities that reflect her appreciation for nurturing growth and creating balanced ecosystems—skills that translate beautifully into her therapeutic work. Claire also loves spending time in water through swimming and kayaking, understanding firsthand the healing and rejuvenating power of aquatic environments that she often encourages clients to explore as part of their self-care and wellness practices.
