Therapist

Virtual • Texas


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 believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.

Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations. My background also includes leadership roles within behavioral health, allowing me to advocate for clients while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Kathryn Omarkhail

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.
