Margaret Clark

Therapist

In-person • 17 mi away • St. Petersburg, FL


I find purpose and satisfaction in providing A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)along with other time tested evidenced-based therapeutic tools. After talk therapy alone, I was continually hijacked by my past experiences and my battery was low. I had repetitive doubts, tears, and triggers. A.R.T. connected new pathways in my brain which allowed me to reset and move forward. Today, I enjoy nature, spending time with family and friends, art, paddle boarding and meditation.

Therapist

In-person • 17 mi away • Trinity, FL


You have been holding it together for everyone else, and the emotional weight that comes from carrying too much on your own has stopped being manageable. Maybe it is anxiety that will not turn off. Maybe your marriage has gone quiet. Maybe a season of your life ended and you are not sure who you are on the other side of it. I have been sitting with people through exactly this for 40 years. Much of my work is Christian counseling, so if you want your faith in the room, it belongs here. If that is not your path, you are just as welcome. I am licensed in Florida and Colorado and welcome in person patients in Florida!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clearwater

Searching for therapists in Clearwater starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for Clearwater therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or strength-based therapy.

In a smaller city like Clearwater, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Clearwater, virtual appointments from home, evening or weekend availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Clearwater can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, add your insurance information, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose someone who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
