Getting to know Maria Claudia Cauterucci

Hi there, I'm Maria Claudia! Hi! I am Claudia Cauterucci, a Washington, D.C. licensed professional counselor, certified group psychotherapist, and holistic health coach. I am trauma-informed and specialize in post-traumatic growth, or as I call it, trauma rising. I believe our wounds can become our gifts and an amazing life awaits once we understand, befriend, and rise above our trauma. Healing is achievable through nurturing adult bonds of secure attachment, so let’s start! My approach My foundational training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, exploring unconscious motivations. I have expanded to integrate interpersonal, mindfulness, attachment theory, and spiritual exploration. I am an interactive clinician, sketching your story together. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, which laid the groundwork for my clinical skills. My focus I am half Colombian and fluent in English and Spanish, with proficiency in French. My clients are adults predominantly from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, including healers, college students, stressed high achievers, entrepreneurs, authors, journalists, spiritual seekers, and thought leaders. I specialize in working with highly sensitive folks and empaths. My communication style I am a focused, engaged psychotherapist who takes notes during sessions, describing it as sketching your story as we go. I love learning about your history and how past events shape your present reactions. I see us as a team, so bring your notebook too. The tagline of my practice is "Get a Ph.D. on you!" My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I have always been self-reflective and a spiritual seeker. In my 20s, all my issues came to a head. Through psychotherapy and meditation, I discovered I am a trauma survivor and doubled down on intense healing work—it dramatically changed my life for the better.
