I founded Clark Counseling Services to create a space where mental health care is modern, personalized, and deeply connected to the human experience. My passion is working with individuals in the transition from late adolescence into adulthood, up through midlife, who are navigating depression, identity exploration, and life’s bigger existential questions. I specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, nature-based therapy, and my signature KetaNature approach. A unique blending of ketamine treatment with the healing power of the natural world.

My work is grounded in an existential, mindful, and Socratic approach. This means I’m less focused on quick fixes and more focused on helping you explore the “why” beneath your struggles, uncover your authentic self, and reconnect with meaning and purpose. I integrate existential therapy, mindfulness-based practices, ecotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy to help clients address depression, anxiety, and disconnection at the root. These approaches work together to create space for transformation, insight, and lasting change.

While I work with a range of clients, I have a deep commitment to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals exploring gender identity. I believe therapy should be a place where every person feels affirmed, safe, and empowered to show up as their true self. In our work together, you can expect direct but compassionate conversations, an openness to your lived experiences, and a willingness to walk with you through uncertainty, growth, and self-discovery.

My primary clinical focus is the KetaNature model, which I am expanding upon in my upcoming book, Rooted and Rising. This work blends psychedelic-assisted therapy, nature immersion, and mindfulness practices to create a holistic, grounded healing process. Through this approach, I aim to help clients reconnect to both themselves and the world around them finding not just relief from symptoms, but a renewed sense of vitality, belonging, and hope.
