Claudia
Bader

Dedicated to a compassionate, deep, symbolically oriented approach, I have an integrative approach to therapy and view it as a spiritual process.

With over 40 years experience as a therapist, I have worked with many kinds of suffering such as bereavement, mood and eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work with ages 17 and up.

As an expressive psychoanalyst I have a variety of modalities at my disposal: psychoanalysis; dream work, art therapy, mindfulness based cognitive techniques, hypnosis and visualization, sand tray, yoga, and familiarity with Eastern and Western mystical traditions. As a former dancer, I bring sensitivity to body based states to our process as well.

Mainly, we talk; I listen deeply, and use these techniques in the service of you in your quest to evolve and heal.

I have had the honor to teach and lecture all over the world.

For 27 years (1995-2022) I taught in graduate, undergraduate, and postgraduate art therapy programs at Pratt Institute of Design, the New School for Social Research, and the School of Visual Arts.
