Hi, I’m claudia barfoot.
Integrative Mental Health Specialist, Psychoanalyst, Ancestral Healing Practitioner, and Explorer of Mind and Soul.
I believe potent healing work is an active process that requires openness to the paradoxes of life, curiosity, compassion and commitment.
Throughout a 20 year career as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and trauma informed mental health professional, I’ve guided hundreds of people to allow their truths to emerge, encourage them to honor themselves, to allow all of who they are to belong, and to let their self discovery transform their lives. With the same gravitas, my 25 years of exploration, apprenticeship and practice of ancestral ways of knowing, healing and experiencing the world has provided me with enough roadmaps to help others navigate their internal world and its depths, their interdependence to the outer world, and their connection to soul and spirit.
With confidence and love I invite you to explore who you are, go beyond your beliefs, and explore The Nature of Being Human.
