Hello - I'm Dr. Claire Vines - welcome to my practice! I'm glad you're here. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a doctoral degree in psychology and over 15 years of experience supporting adult individuals, families, and adolescents through some of life's most challenging moments. My practice is entirely virtual, so I can meet you where you are — from the comfort of your own space. I work with clients across the lifespan, from teenagers to older adults, and I offer sessions in English, French, and Spanish.
My background spans a wide range of concerns, including trauma and PTSD, substance use and addiction, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family dynamics. I approach every client as a whole person — not just a diagnosis — and I bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine care to each session.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with unique, down-to-earth mindfulness approaches to therapy. I emphasize awareness, acceptance, and a sense of humor in knowing and loving oneself. My therapeutic work integrates evidence-based modalities including Control Mastery Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Buddhist psychology.
I am also trained in Brainspotting, a powerful trauma- processing modality, and have extensive experience working with clients navigating addiction, chronic pain, and major life transitions.

I was born in Southern California and raised in the Bay Area. I have been practicing for 10 years and I enjoy empowering adults in their journey of overcoming their mental health challenges. I motivate clients for change and promote their personal growth.
