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.
My name is Caleb Hoover and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with over six years of experience in the field of mental health. I was awarded my masters in counseling at UCF in 2022. Since then, I have worked in community mental health specializing in working with individuals and families no matter where they are in life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Tampa
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Tampa starts with looking for care that is identity-affirming and specific to your needs. The right therapist may support concerns related to identity, gender exploration, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or gender-diverse care. These details can help you find someone whose background aligns with the kind of support you want.
Tampa has a range of mental health options, but affirming therapists may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options if nearby offices have limited availability or if you prefer care from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapeutic approach, and therapist background or identity. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their work with LGBTQIA+ clients, how they structure sessions, and what a first appointment may include.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who match your preferences, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
