Claudia Graf
MA, LPC
Life can be hard! Are you feeling weighed down by depression, crippled by anxiety, overwhelmed by stress? Are you doubting yourself and struggle with low self-esteem? Have you lost someone you love? Are you wondering if the person you are dating is a good match for you and how to build a healthy dating relationship? Do you feel helpless, seeing your marriage slowly crumble and fall apart? Do you struggle with the negative impacts your sex addiction has on your life and relationships? Have you been betrayed by the person you love the most?
Even though life can be difficult, you do not have to face it on your own. I cannot make all your problems disappear and do not have all the answers, but I can partner with you on your journey towards healing and change, instill hope and help you work on your goals. I love working with adult individuals and couples 18years or older. Besides offering a safe and non-judgmental place for you to process your struggles, I use cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful beliefs & behaviors as well as experiential & mindfulness exercises and relationships skills tailored to your needs.
My name is Claudia, I was born and raised in the beautiful mountainous chocolate country Switzerland and used to work as a registered nurse in Switzerland and the Gambia. I also studied at Cornerstone College in the Netherlands and hold a diploma in Intercultural Studies and Theology. I have served in various Christian ministries such as working with youth, survivors of sex trafficking and the homeless in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, the Gambia and Mongolia. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University in 2021.
I am trained as a SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich facilitator, offering premarital counseling, helping you save and strengthen your marriage before it starts. I am also planning to become a Gottman certified couples’ therapist as well as a sex addiction therapist down the road.
Seeking therapy can be scary and sharing intimate details with a total stranger seems odd but I will do my best to make you feel comfortable. I will challenge you, cheer you on and push you to be the best version of yourself. It's my desire for you to thrive, find renewed hope, purpose, and a fulfilling life and relationships. I would be honored to join your journey.
Adult individual and couples ages 18+
