Claire Nana, LMFT

Claire Nana is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship strain, body image concerns, and questions about life purpose. Claire uses a mix of approaches and focuses on practical steps people can take now.

She draws on Client-Centered, Existential, Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Focused ideas to guide her work. Sessions often begin with clear goals and a straightforward look at what’s getting in the way. Conversations cover coping with stress, managing anger, and addressing compulsive behaviors or substance use. Claire also supports people facing grief, career crossroads, and the challenges of blended family issues.

Her background includes presenting at international conferences and creating continuing education courses for other clinicians. That experience informs how she explains complex topics in plain language. Claire also blends coaching techniques into her work when a practical plan or step-by-step change is helpful.

People can expect a direct, conversational style that focuses on choices and next steps. Treatment may look at underlying patterns from the past as well as current behavior and relationships. Claire names and works with attachment concerns, compulsive or obsessive patterns, and trauma reactions as part of that mix.

Outside of clinical work she trains and rides rescue horses and keeps active with ultrarunning. She also writes about clinical topics and has an ongoing manuscript in progress.
