Claudiana Arteiro
Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW)/BSW/Perinatal Mental Health
I’m here to support you through life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and care. As a mental health social worker and psychotherapist, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions — including the emotional complexities that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I have a special interest in perinatal mental health, and I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for people of all genders and identities experiencing emotional overwhelm, shifts in identity, or disconnection during the perinatal period and beyond. Whether you're adjusting to a new country, grieving a loss, or feeling stuck, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater ease. I believe deeply in the healing potential of psychotherapy — not as a one-size-fits-all solution, but as a deeply personal process of growth, change, and self-discovery.
