Therapist

Virtual • Dacula, GA


Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is showing up before you even know what you want out of it. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or like something needs to change but you can't quite name what, that's exactly where we start. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and the kind of life experiences that feel too big to sort out alone. You don't need to come in with clear goals. We'll figure that out together.

Claire Hall

Claire Hall

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I'm Claire. I welcome the exploration of spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, and the search for meaning as part of the therapeutic process. For many people, healing involves more than reducing symptoms; it can also involve reconnecting with a sense of purpose, discovering what feels meaningful, exploring existential questions, and developing a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Spirituality is incorporated in a way that honors your individual beliefs, values, and worldview.

I have a special interest in supporting service members, veterans, and their families as they navigate the unique challenges of military life, deployment, transition, trauma, PTSD symptoms, identity changes, relationship difficulties, and the process of reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

Therapy can be a space to explore deeper questions: Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Who am I outside of my roles and responsibilities? What do I want my life to mean? What are my strengths, and how can I use them to build a more fulfilling life? How can I move beyond simply surviving? I would love to explore of these with you.

I am a Jacksonville native and received my undergraduate degree from the University of North Florida and my graduate degree from Florida State University.
