Clara Hardy

Clara Hardy, LICSW, brings 28 years of clinical practice to work with adults facing complex emotional challenges. Based in Rhode Island, she focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also attends to issues that often overlap with these concerns, including chronic pain and illness, control struggles, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Her work emphasizes tailored care rooted in evidence-based techniques that support emotional processing and recovery from difficult experiences. She creates an environment that encourages exploration of feelings, development of coping strategies, and gradual rebuilding of daily functioning after loss or upheaval.

Clara aims to walk alongside people at different points in their journeys, offering steady professional guidance without judgment. Prospective clients can expect an approach that honors individual stories, attends to practical coping needs, and supports movement toward clearer personal goals.
