Welcome, I am Claire Camarena, AMFT, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal from the pain of betrayal trauma, compulsive sexual behaviors, and relationship distress. I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and psychodynamic lens, creating a compassionate space where clients can explore underlying wounds, restore emotional safety, and move toward deeper connection and lasting change.

My interest in sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma work grew out of a passion for understanding how unresolved trauma, attachment injuries, shame, and disconnection impact relationships and emotional well-being. I am especially drawn to helping couples navigate the effects of betrayal and supporting both partners as they work toward healing, rebuilding trust, and creating healthier intimacy patterns.

Prior to joining Steadfast Counseling Center, I provided therapy to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other forms of trauma. This only deepened my appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of safe, attuned relationships in the healing process. I am passionate about walking alongside clients with empathy and curiosity, helping them cultivate hope, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
