Claire Walker, LGSW

CREED Classroom Therapist

I am passionate about working with elementary aged children and their families. I enjoy being able to offer each child and their family compassion and curiosity about their unique story. I believe in creating partnerships with each child’s important caregivers, including parents and teachers, in an effort to better understand each child’s needs. I believe that a child’s behaviors hold a deeper meaning about their inner world, and I enjoy working with children and their important caregivers to begin to understand what it is they want us to know and how we may be able to offer help to them.
