Stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure of constantly holding it all together - sound familiar? My clients are ambitious, capable people who are quietly struggling, and seek not only to feel better but also to understand themselves better in the process.
My approach is warm, inquisitive, and solution-oriented.
If your goal is to strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, and create a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and sustainable, then I'm your huckleberry. Whether you're navigating a challenging season, feeling stuck, or simply looking to live more intentionally, our work together will be a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in treating children (9+), adolescents, and young adults who are struggling with self- esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, ADHD, and behavioral- related issues.
I offer in person- therapy, and telehealth with adult clients. I do not provide telehealth to children or adolescents.
As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.
I am a clinician dedicated to helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. My approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in meeting people exactly where they are. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, substance use challenges, and the emotional weight of family or relationship stress.
In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and learn skills that genuinely support your day-to-day life. I focus on building trust, understanding the full picture of each person’s strengths and struggles, and helping clients make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for them.
Beyond therapy, I mentor developing clinicians and support wellness programs, which keeps me connected to both the clinical and community sides of mental health. I believe in whole-person care, collaboration, and helping every client recognize that they are worthy of stability, growth, and peace.
Stuck in survival mode? Crashing out? Riding the hot mess express? Maybe it is the first time sharing the deep, raw truth of your story... or maybe you’re tired of saying it over and over and feeling like other people don’t really “get” it. You don't have to pretend everything's okay or fit into a mold. I'm here for the real you. We can build your own personal path to healing. I help people do this by exploring thoughts, gaining insight, and developing tools to thrive.
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.

Frequently asked questions


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 Houston
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Houston starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may have experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, family or relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Some therapists list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ couples in their profiles. Reviewing those details can help you find someone whose training and listed focus areas match the care you want.
Houston has a large mental health community, which means there may be many options across neighborhoods like Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, and the Medical Center. That volume can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, or virtual appointments that expand access to affirming therapists across Texas. You can also compare appointment availability, therapist background, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Therapist bios can show how someone describes their style, the communities they work with, and what you can expect in a first session.
Therapy in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter by insurance, appointment type, availability, and specialty, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
