Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to explore my page. My name is Patricia Clark, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a doctoral candidate in traumatology, and the founder of D.I.V.A. Counseling & Consulting. For more than 10 years, I have walked alongside individuals, couples, families, and organizations as they heal from the weight of what life has handed them.

What you are experiencing is common today.

Therapist

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of talking in circles—and they want real change, not just support. That’s where my work is different.

I am a solution-focused, no-nonsense therapist who believes therapy should be both compassionate and effective. My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I help clients quickly identify what’s truly driving their stress or dissatisfaction, calm emotional overwhelm, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both deeply supportive and refreshingly honest—offering perspective, guidance, and direction while maintaining a safe, respectful space.

Personally, I have a lot of life experience and a naturally positive perspective that helps guide my work and intentional focus. I am a mother of five, married with a blended family, step mother of two, grandmother, an equestrian, boater and aviator.

Educationally, I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 1991 and Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in 1994. I have worked in Sports Broadcadting and Marketing, Medical Device Sales, Business and Behavioral Health. I have certifications in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, Executive Leadership, and Hypnotherapy.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Norfolk, VA

Searching for postpartum therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or related specialties. A certification like PMH-C can also signal focused training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

In Norfolk, the right fit may depend on more than specialty. Consider whether in-person therapy in Norfolk, VA fits your schedule, or whether virtual sessions make care easier to access during infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum support in Virginia before you book.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare postpartum therapists in Norfolk, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
