I want therapy to be your safe space to be however you are, feel however you feel, and say whatever you need to say, without judgement. Once we bring compassion and validation to those experiences, we can begin to create a vision for change. I support you in setting goals, building skills and overcoming barriers to the life that you desire. I'm also a brain science nerd, so I can help you understand why you respond the way you do.

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. If you have been doing everything right on the outside, showing up, pushing through, holding it all together, but quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you have lost yourself somewhere along the way, you are not alone. What you are experiencing is common today.

Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.


Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.


Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.
