Claire Edgington
LMFT | Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
To quote Esther Perel, a relational expert, therapist, and author, “The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships...”. This statement highlights the significance our relationships have on our lived experience and perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. It is through this lens that I find passion in supporting individuals, couples, and families in achieving their therapeutic goals.
I practice from an attachment lens which allows me to focus on the relationships that we have with others, society, and, most importantly, ourselves. My therapeutic approach is based in Emotionally Focused Therapy, in which I also integrate tools from IFS (internal family systems), CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. I believe in providing a safe space where one can grow to become an even more genuine and fulfilled self. I value having an authentic, collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers and deepens one’s understanding of themselves.
As a systematically trained therapist, I support clients in exploring the complexities and contexts of their lived experiences. Through this lens, clients are able to have a better understanding of themselves, their internal processes, and their relationships. I’m passionate about using somatic tools to promote emotional regulation, self-understanding, and help nurture change. Noticing and understanding one’s body-mind connection can be a powerful tool in self exploration and reaching one’s goals through the therapy process.
My areas of practice are focused in working with anxiety, depression, self-worth, boundaries, life transitions, inner child work, and stress/conflict in relationships. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ populations. I’m additionally passionate about providing services to those that identify as or practice polyamory/CNM/ENM.
