Dr. Claudio Altman

I believe that therapy works best when people feel understood, respected and safe. I have over 20 year of experience helping adults navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, grief/loss, life transitions and relationship challenges. Much of my career has been devoted to working with veterans and individuals who have faced difficult or traumatic experiences. I strongly believe in establishing a relationship of equals and mutual respect between therapist and client; one that leads to a guided journey of self-discovery and change.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate and practical. I strive to create a space where clients can explore their experiences openly, develop new insights and build the skills needed to move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I tailor treatment to align with each individual’s needs and draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing the importance of culture, values and personal strengths.

In our first session, you can expect a supportive environment in which we begin getting to know one another and explore the concerns that led you to seek therapy. My aim is for you to leave the initial session feeling heard, respected, and less alone in what you are navigating. Together, we will begin identifying your goals and outlining a path forward that is realistic, individualized, and aligned with your needs. Therapy does not require you to have everything figured out before you begin; it simply asks that you arrive as you are, and we will move forward from there.
