Claire Dreyer
Associate Social Worker (Therapist)

Claire is a former public-school educator with over 15 years of experience supporting students and families in diverse and high-pressure environments, including in a Title I school setting. After a long career in education, she pursued her Master of Social Work to expand her ability to support individuals navigating stress, trauma, and life transitions.

​

In addition to her work in education, Claire has clinical experience in a clubhouse setting, where she supported individuals living with mental health diagnoses through psychosocial support, skill-building, and case management. In this role, she assisted clients in navigating resources, maintaining stability, and working toward personal recovery goals, while collaborating within a team-based, recovery-oriented model of care.

​

Claire utilizes a trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and strengths-based approach in her work. She is also a certified movement therapy practitioner and incorporates mind-body awareness into her practice when appropriate. She brings a calm, practical, and compassionate presence, shaped by years of supporting individuals through complex challenges.

​

She has a particular interest in working with first responders and veterans, recognizing the unique demands and stressors these roles carry. She understands that in these roles, strength is often prioritized over self-care, and she works to create a space where first responders can decompress, process experiences, and receive support without judgment.

​

Her background allows her to connect easily with individuals from a wide range of experiences, offering a grounded and approachable presence. Claire is committed to creating a space where clients feel understood, respected, and supported.
