Meet Claire Marston

Healing happens when people feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. Claire Marston believes therapy should be a space where children, adolescents, adults, and families can explore their experiences without judgment while building the confidence and skills to navigate life's challenges.

Claire is a Graduate Clinician at Deeply Rooted with more than 10 years of experience working with youth and five years of experience as a school counselor serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade throughout Upper Manhattan and the South Bronx. She earned her Master's degree in School Counseling from Southern Connecticut State University and is currently pursuing her Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) certification through Alfred University.

Claire provides individual therapy for children, adolescents, adults, teens, and families using an integrative approach that combines Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma-informed care, liberation psychology, and creative therapeutic interventions. She believes every client deserves care that honors their lived experiences, strengths, identity, and goals.
