Hi there, I'm Claire! Hello! My name is Claire Bazile. I am a board-certified Licensed Mental Health Professional with specialty interests in Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, anger management, and domestic violence. I also provide faith-based counseling. I am bilingual in English and Haitian Creole. I hope with my assistance I can help you gain confidence in yourself and achieve your optimal mental health goals. I look forward to being your counselor. My approach My approach is integrative as I do not believe in one size fits all. Various therapeutic modalities are used including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. This therapeutic process is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. My focus As a therapist, I work with a diverse range of clients. If you are facing depression, anxiety, dealing with stress and life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, and seeking personal growth and improvement then you are in the right place. My communication style When working with me, you can expect a tone that's supportive, respectful, and conversational. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring ideas, whether you're looking for advice, brainstorming solutions, or just having a chat. My goal is to be helpful and engaging, adapting to your needs and preferences. I want our interactions to feel positive and productive, so you leave with a sense of clarity or accomplishment. My journey to mental healthcare What drove me to pursue a career as a therapist was the deep desire to help others and make a positive impact on their lives. I always had a passion for understanding human behavior, showing empathy to people going through difficult times, and a commitment to facilitating personal growth and healing.
