Claire Wieman

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Counselor, and Life Coach

Claire Wieman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Counselor, and Life Coach, and owns and operates Evo-Life Counseling and Coaching with a full and enthusiastic heart.

Claire designed and opened Evo-Life out of a belief that the mainstream mental health model was short changing consumers and that people are capable of acquiring a far more rewarding life.

With a warm and non-judgmental presence in the room, her treatment tactics are that of empowerment and support. She instills in others her own belief that individuals are capable of overcoming any barrier if they have really just two things: help, and belief.

What is the difference between counseling and therapy?

There are no major differences in either of these terms. They both involve meeting with an objective, trained professional to work through emotional or psychological difficulties. Counseling sometimes refers to a shorter term or more specific situation the client may be targeting, where therapy may be addressing a client's overall sense of unease in the world, and may be a longer process. Essentially however, the terms are somewhat interchangeable, and Evo-Life offers many treatment formats for clients to make improvements in their lives.

How does counseling or therapy work?

A therapist is trained to ask the right types of questions that help the individual uncover and ultimately change limiting beliefs, self defeating behaviors, and dysfunctional patterns in relationships. A good therapist has strong instincts and know what makes their client "tick," thus making the client feel very comfortable, understood, and not judged.
