Professional, experienced, and knowledgeable Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with clients navigating both mental health and physical health challenges while providing a compassionate and comprehensive approach to care. I welcome individuals, families, and couples seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and chronic health conditions. My background as both a Registered Nurse and Licensed Mental Health Counselor allows me to support clients in understanding the mind-body connection and creating realistic, sustainable paths to wellness.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centered, integrating evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed practices, and solution-focused strategies, with a strong emphasis on holistic care. I employ a warm, direct, and empowering approach, helping clients strengthen their coping skills, improve communication, and build resilience in the face of stressors.

My professional background spans over 32 years, encompassing healthcare, behavioral health, and public health. I have served as a Registered Nurse in hospital, outpatient, and case management settings; as a behavioral health case manager; and as a clinical leader in infection prevention and public health programs. I am also a Qualified Supervisor in Florida for MFT and LMHC candidates, reflecting my commitment to mentorship and professional development in the field.

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.

You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, changes in mood, difficulty focusing, poor sleep, or simply feeling unlike yourself lately. Maybe you’ve tried treatment before and still have questions, or you’re considering psychiatric care for the first time and aren’t sure where to begin. At Harborline Psychiatry, we work with adults who want to better understand what they’re experiencing and take an active role in their care. We start by slowing things down, looking at the whole picture, and building a treatment plan that makes sense for you.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for patients throughout Florida. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative: we’ll consider your symptoms, history, concerns, and goals before deciding what treatment should look like. When medication is appropriate, I’ll explain the options and reasoning so we can make those decisions together.

Reaching out for psychiatric care can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve felt unheard or uncertain about treatment in the past. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, collaborative approach to your mental health, I’d be glad to help you find a steadier way forward.
