Claire Johnson
Body Image, Disordered Eating, & Trauma
Dear Client,
You long to feel confident and at peace with your body, but that feels like a distant dream.
The constant battles with body image and disordered eating seem insurmountable.
You struggle to believe it's possible to feel comfortable in your own skin and wonder if you'll ever break free from these cycles.
It’s possible to heal your relationship with food and your body and find new ways to approach self-care and self-love.
Through compassionate guidance, understanding, and practical tools, it’s possible to achieve the body acceptance and balance you crave, even if it seems like a far-off dream right now.
I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your unique situation and goals for a healthier relationship with your body.
Hold onto hope. What do you have to lose?

Claire’s Approach:
Claire received her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. During her master’s program, she worked with college students and young adults on a variety of topics including body image, disordered eating, family and relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Claire uses a person-centered approach to counseling and focuses on creating a genuine connection with clients, understanding their unique life experiences, and being a companion on their path to healing and finding peace. She believes that with adequate support, all people have the capacity to grow and become more fully themselves.
Claire’s practice is trauma-informed and she attends to clients’ unique cultural identities in the counseling space.
She lives in Charleston and enjoys music, reading, traveling, and quality time with loved ones.
