About

Hello and welcome! It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Claire Muldrew. I am a licensed psychologist based in California with an international background. I am passionate about recognizing and embracing the uniqueness of each person, our shared humanity, and the value of meaningful connection. I am a naturally positive person who is intentional about showing kindness, understanding, and compassion in my interactions with others. As you take this journey of self-discovery, my goal is to provide a warm, caring space where you can be your authentic self and gain valuable knowledge to support your well-being. I hope that you leave feeling encouraged to step forward into the future you desire and envision for yourself.

Education & Licensure
Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, California; Master of Social Work from Loma Linda University, California; and Bachelor of Social Work from Brunel University, United Kingdom.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My mission as a psychologist is to help those I encounter to flourish in their lives. When we embrace self-understanding, I believe we each have the capacity to maximize our full potential and experience fulfillment in all areas of our lives. From the outset of our work together, my goal is to help you with identifying your strengths and qualities and offer a space to explore your hopes for the future. My personal philosophy is that life’s challenges are also opportunities for us to experience growth and increased confidence. Embracing uniqueness and celebrating diversity is at the heart of my outlook on life and approach to practicing as a psychologist. I hold the view that discovering who we are and what we have to offer in this world is always a worthwhile endeavor.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I have a cup that says: ‘Every day is a fresh start.’ This expression never gets old for me and I couldn’t agree more! I keep this optimism at the forefront of how I approach each person I work with. I believe we all feel our best when we tap into our innate strengths and have this recognized by those we meet. In our busy world, the quality of presence can often seem hard to come by. I once heard someone say that genuine listening is one of the highest forms of respect for others. When these experiences are offered to us, we tend to feel more comfortable sharing and expressing our true selves. This is the type of space I seek to offer those I support, as well as a sense of humor to help life feel just that little bit lighter.
