EXPERT
Dr. Claire Vines, PsyD.
Psychologist
As a Doctor of Psychology, licensed and Diplomate with the Psychotherapy Association (DAPA), I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Psychological Trauma Therapist. My treatment emphasis is relationship centered and resolution oriented. I will assist you with redirecting and managing life difficulties with positive directions into a solution to your emotional conflicts. Negative thoughts and emotions can lead to negative behaviors and often times somatic symptoms. Negative thoughts and feelings can be unlearned. Exploration of positive direction, encouragement and validation in verbal exchange for future solutions, while at the same time, awareness from lessons from past life experiences are addressed.
We will address the regulation of emotionally charged behaviors and the awareness of effects on your relationships.
