Claire LeMay

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have worked as a social worker in hospital settings treating substance use, facilitating lots of groups and helping people find a new way to manage life. I started as an individual therapist in 2024, and have enjoyed working with people one on one. My warm and accepting style brings safety to each session, and allows people to explore parts of themselves that they have hidden away for lots of different reasons. I work best with people open to learning about themselves and willing to explore the use of mindfulness, and explore their emotional world to understand what your emotions are trying to tell you. I have a tool box full of skills to address most situations or experiences that people have, and will offer different ideas when you are open to trying something different.

I have a strong foundation in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and bring that to session. I find that the components of DBT are accessible for most people and enhance their emotional experience. I also use a lot of components from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We work together to identify your values and define your goals, values and priorities to guide your decisions.

You can expect your sessions to be guided by what you need in that moment. We will explore immediate issues and deeper issues that drive what you are experiencing emotionally. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore what has happened and how you feel, without any pressure for you to go into places you are not ready to face. I want you to feel safe and empowered to explore your experience in the way that feels healing for you.
