Darsha Clark LPC

After our first session, we will have spent time getting to know each other. You will have had the opportunity to ask questions of me to help with making you feel more at ease. I will have spent time listening to you share about who you are - not just focusing on the concerns that brought you to therapy. I like to spend the first session getting to know you as a whole person. Our problems, concerns, issues (whatever you want to call them) do not define us! In subsequent sessions, we will begin to clarify what you want to gain from therapy, the direction of therapy, and "what it will look like" when you reach your goals.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which has an emphasis on exploring how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions "interact" with each other. We will spend time examining thought and behavioral patterns. Additionally, I utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which is goal and future oriented. We will work together to identify concrete, realistic strategies to implement to reach your goals.
