Welcome to Rhodolite
who we are
Therapy that responds
to your full self.
Like the rhodolite gemstone — formed under extraordinary pressure, yet radiant — we believe every person holds inherent capacity for healing. Our practice is built on the conviction that growth doesn't follow a script.
We offer a relational, body-aware approach: paced by you, informed by the latest trauma research, and grounded in deep respect for your story.
Tailored care for every
path of healing

Relationships are shaped by old attachment patterns. We help couples slow down reactive cycles, rebuild trust, and communicate with the kind of honesty that fosters genuine intimacy and lasting partnership.

Adolescence is its own kind of storm. We work with teens using approaches that honour their emerging identity — building self-worth, emotional vocabulary, and the confidence to navigate a complex world.
Identity • Self-Esteem • Social Anxiety
A process built around trust, not technique.
A relaxed 20-minute call to hear what's brought you here, answer your questions, and explore if we're the right fit — no pressure, no commitment.

Connect with a lienced therapist who gets it to have your all your questions answered and to see if it would be a fit

Trained to listen.
Here to stay.
I founded Rhodolite because I believe therapy should feel like a relationship, not a transaction. After a decade in community mental health and private practice, I've seen what makes healing possible — and it isn't the right technique. It's the right connection.
My training spans somatic therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. But what I bring most into the room is a deep curiosity about who you are, and an unwavering belief in your capacity to change.
Dr. Claire Hartwell, LPC
Founder & Lead Therapist
I work with adults, couples, and teens — including those who've tried therapy before and wondered if it could ever really work for them.

— Couples Client
Our therapist helped us hear each other again. We'd stopped listening. Now, even the hard conversations feel like something we're doing together, not against each other.
— Individual Client, 34
I came in convinced I was broken. I leave every session feeling like I'm actually becoming someone I like. That's not something I ever thought I'd say about myself.

— Parent of Teen Client
My daughter was resistant at first — but within a month she was actually asking to go to her sessions. Watching her find her voice has been everything.
