About

Hi, my name is Claudia Santorelli-Bates and I work with teens and adults. My areas of focus are drug and alcohol issues, depression, anxiety, body image issues, trauma, sexual assault, and excessive social media use; helping clients identify and accept what makes them unique and different.

Trained at Beit T'Shuvah, a residential addiction treatment center, I have worked with recovery communities of all types. I'm dedicated to helping individuals live happier more fulfilling lives through counseling and therapy, to bring healing.

Each of our experiences are unique, complex, and personal. Whether you are dealing with addiction, relationships, trauma, or the general stress of living in today's modern world - therapy is the right choice. Being open to getting help is the first step.

My approach involves using the humanistic approach of EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Internal Family Systems Model, as well as identifying patterns to explore what no longer benefits your life anymore, and may be stopping you from living your most authentic and full life.
