Therapist

Virtual • Texas


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Arlington

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Arlington starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and relevant to your needs. Many people search for support related to identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or WPATH training. These details can help you find a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match the kind of support you want.

In a mid-sized city like Arlington, your options may include local offices, nearby care across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and virtual appointments. Virtual care can expand access to affirming therapists, especially when local availability is limited or when a therapist with specific LGBTQIA+ experience is the better match. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, clinical approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
