Claire Yam

Registered Social Worker

From a person-centered, culturally sensitive, and direct perspective, I present my genuine self to the therapeutic relationship wholeheartedly. I am passionate about working with individuals from all walks of life and guiding each client on a transformative and healing path.

I am currently working towards becoming a registered Psychologist, but with over a decade of experience as a healthcare Social Worker at an inner-city hospital, I have collaborated closely with high-risk populations, supporting individuals who face complex issues in both their physical and mental health. I have direct experience working in trauma, domestic violence, life transitions, relationship issues, as well as with borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

My holistic approach to therapy creates a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental environment to explore and work through the issues that matter to you most. I bring a sense of authenticity and deep respect to the therapeutic space by integrating evidence-based techniques with a client-centered approach, where interventions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each person.

With a strong focus on attachment injuries and recovery, I feel honored to walk alongside clients' difficult transitions and help them cultivate new coping skills to become the best versions of themselves. My commitment to fostering emotional growth is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive, and I strive to empower each person on their journey towards creating lasting and meaningful change.
