LGBT therapists in Clearwater, FL

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

My name is Dr. Regina Clark, DSW, LCSW, and I work with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma and are ready to begin their healing journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and play therapy for young children.

In our sessions, you will find a safe, supportive space where you are seen, heard, valued, and never rushed. I believe every person’s story deserves compassion, understanding, and care. My practice is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate life’s challenges while building resilience and emotional wellness.

I do this work because healing can be difficult, but you are not meant to walk through it alone. I believe growth, restoration, and healing are possible, and I am honored to support individuals and families as they move toward hope, balance, and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) with 15+ years of experience across school counseling, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. I hold an M.Ed. in School Counseling and am a Certified School Counselor (1–12). I provide individual telehealth counseling and specialize in supporting students navigating school reintegration after hospitalization, residential placement, or extended absence.

For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of life's hardest moments: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the pain of racism and loss. My goal is to build a real connection with you, so you never feel alone in figuring this out. I'm here to support you on your journey of self-exploration and personal growth.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with difficult thoughts, emotions, relationships or circumstances and who seek to increase meaning in life. I provide a kind, compassionate environment where you feel safe and motivated to work toward goals. My collaborative and nurturing approach integrates evidence-based cognitive, behavioral and interpersonal interventions within a context of awareness, connection and compassion towards self and others.My focus in treatment extends beyond alleviating symptoms to include fostering positive experiences such as love, joy and peace.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a master's degree from Capella University, and I've had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments — from anxiety and depression to relationship struggles, big life transitions, parenting pressures, and career uncertainty.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques — not because one size fits all, but because you deserve support that actually fits your life. Together, we'll work to build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create real, lasting change.

I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ clients, and I bring genuine care and an open heart to every session. No matter what brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

We're all a work in progress — and that's a beautiful thing. I'm here to help you move forward, at your own pace, in your own way.

Trust the process. I'll be with you every step of the way.
