Family therapy and counseling in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Welcome! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping patients improve their mental health and overall well-being. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, mood changes, and sleep difficulties. With many years of experience in behavioral health field, including leadership roles in psychiatric care, I bring a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to treatment. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan focused on stability, emotional wellness, and improving quality of life.

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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Listening Room, where I provide therapy for adults navigating stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and court-related or high-stress situations.

My approach is supportive, direct, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity. I create a space where you can be heard without judgment, while also working together to develop practical tools for real-life change.

I offer virtual sessions, with limited in-person availability in Miami and Broward.

For the past five years, I have been honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues. I also work with clients struggling with mood disorders, OCD, and personality disorders, amongst other conditions. My journey in this field began with my education at the University of Central Florida, where I built the foundation for my clinical practice. It has been my mission to create a space where you can be yourself and we can work together towards healing.
