CLAIRE DEBENEDETTO, M.S.,LMFT

She/Her/Hers

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Cloud State University, am a certified Prepare/Enrich Counselor, and am trained in both DC: 0-5 and ECSII. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, couples, parents, and families who desire to experience change and growth through insight and empowerment. Through the use of Systemic and Experiential theories, I tend to value the use of metaphors and humor in therapy; as it can help clients cope with difficult situations, learn to explore and accept themselves, and aids clients in moving through the process of their struggles that keep them stagnant.

Along with that, I am also very interested in working with athletes and the mental health symptoms that come with doing intense sports. Growing up as a gymnast, I have the ability to hold space for the athlete, while promoting the importance of mind-body connection fostering overall well-being.
