Getting to know 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.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You have the power within you to change and live a meaningful life. But you may need some guidance and the right tools to find it. Together, we'll understand what is feeding the depression and explore the emotions underneath it, with honesty and self-compassion, until you reconnect with a sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, particularly if you have never worked with a therapist before. Our first sessions are an opportunity to understand what brings you to therapy, what you have been experiencing, and what you hope will be different. Together, we will develop an understanding of your concerns and establish meaningful goals for treatment. You don't need to know exactly what you want from therapy. You don't need to have the right words. And you don't need to tell your entire story on the first day. The first step is simply reaching out. During an initial consultation, we can talk about what has been happening, what you would like to change, and whether working together feels like the right fit. You have spent enough time trying to manage everything on your own. Therapy can be the beginning of something different. There is no obligation to have everything figured out. You simply have to be willing to begin.
