Claire Turnure

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I graduated from MSU Denver’s Social Work program in May 2018 and have spent the past eight years working as a school social worker with teens and young adults. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and intellectual disabilities. Working in school and transition settings has taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, staying flexible, and leading with compassion. I approach therapy with openness, curiosity, and a genuine belief in each client’s strengths and capacity for growth.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, flexible, and client-led. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT and DBT while adapting sessions to each client’s unique needs, goals, and pace. I practice from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens, supporting both emotional understanding and practical skill-building when helpful. Above all, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to lead their own growth and healing.

In the first session, clients can expect a relaxed, welcoming space focused on getting to know one another and getting comfortable. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most supportive to you. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for, and you set the pace of the conversation. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and free to show up as yourself.
