Professional statement

Claudine Chiarmonte is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Executive Coach who specializes in working with high-achieving adults, leaders, and creatives. While her clients often appear successful and composed on the outside, they frequently navigate internal struggles with high-functioning anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or unresolved relationship pain. Claudine provides a sanctuary for those who are tired of "holding it all together" and are ready to move from merely coping to experiencing deep, embodied transformation.

Her therapeutic approach is holistic and trauma-informed, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to include attachment-based work, Somatic Experiencing principles, and neuroscience. Because stress and trauma (including C-PTSD) live in the body, Claudine helps clients bypass the analytical mind to work directly with the nervous system. This method supports clients in unwinding long-standing emotional patterns, regulating their stress response, and fostering true neuroplasticity—rewiring the brain for safety and intimacy.

Claudine’s dual background as a clinician and an executive coach offers a unique advantage. She deeply understands the nuances of performance culture and leadership pressures. Her style is warm, grounded, and direct; she views the therapeutic relationship as a partnership where clients can drop the mask of competence and explore their vulnerability without judgment.

Claudine currently maintains a fully remote practice, offering flexible, confidential telehealth sessions to clients seeking a high level of presence and personalization. She invites individuals who are ready to invest in themselves to reach out and begin the work of creating sustainable, lasting change.


Message to clients

Before we begin, I want you to know that you do not need to perform here. In your daily life, you likely carry a heavy load of responsibility and expectation. In this space, you can put that weight down. You don’t need to be polished, articulate, or "strong." You only need to be willing to show up with curiosity. We will move at the pace of your nervous system, allowing us to safely process stress and trauma without overwhelming you.

My hope is that you experience a shift from "managing" your anxiety to actually living your life. Insight is valuable, but my goal is for you to walk away with more than just an intellectual understanding of your patterns. Through our somatic work, I want you to feel a physical sense of relief and ease in your body. I want you to trust your intuition again and find the freedom to relate to yourself and others without the old defenses that have kept you stuck.

You are here because you are ready for something deeper. If you are tired of repeating the same relationship cycles or feeling disconnected despite your external success, you are in the right place. I am here to hold the container for your healing, guiding you toward a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
