Jill Clark

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience providing mental health support to individuals of all ages. I am genuine and down-to-earth, offering a safe and accepting environment. I provide counseling support on issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, setting boundaries, relationship issues, abuse, and trauma.

My approach

I use mostly cognitive behavioral therapy and strengths perspective approach with my clients. I definitely start where the client is and as we build rapport I gain a better perspective on the type of approach for their specific needs.

My focus

I mostly work with clients ranging between 10 - 30 years old. I feel comfortable helping clients work through depression, anxiety, past traumas and self-esteem issues.

My communication style

I take pride in knowing that I have the ability to build rapport easily with clients. I am sensitive to knowing most clients are nervous when they start therapy and may not know what to expect. I have a laid-back personality and always do my best to make you feel comfortable and non-judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

Early on in life, I remember empathizing with others and having the desire to offer comfort. I believe in the power of connection and helping others recognize their own strengths as they find ways to cope with obstacles causing mental health issues.

My goals for you

I feel that goal setting is important but I believe in practical steps in achieving goals. I am realistic about making progress and know along the way clients may experience setbacks.

My first session with you

During our first session, I hope to gain knowledge of your journey thus far and life experiences that have changed your perspectives along the way. I would also like to make sure we establish your goals for therapy and what kind of support you are hoping I can offer you.
