Claire, LSW
Crisis Clinician/AVH Social Worker

Claire grew up in Connecticut and always found peace in Colorado, as that is where her family roots are and where her love for nature flourishes. She graduated from Miami University with Bachelor’s in Psychology and Social Work. She continued her education at Boston University, where she received her Master’s in Social Work. Claire previously worked in an inner-city community health center providing individual outpatient psychotherapy services to people across the lifespan who were at high risk for multiple social determinants of health in addition to severe mental health diagnoses. She simultaneously worked on a pediatric integrated care team, advocating for patient-centered care for children and their families. She always knew she wanted to be a part of the helping profession, but her passion grew stronger as she witnessed the devastating effects that physical illness can have on one’s mental health and the family unit as a whole. Claire feels strongly about both the clinical and policy/program sides of our work operating in tandem. She enjoys spending her free time and self-care outdoors - hiking, skiing, playing racquet sports, and soaking in the beauty and peacefulness of nature.
