Colleen Clarke

She/Her/Hers

Not Accepting New Clients

Having raised three young adults, Colleen is drawn to conversations about life transitions, career exploration, and mental health issues affecting college-age students and adults of all ages. She seeks to listen to and support adults in their process of healing and self-exploration. Colleen has worked with many clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and loss, identity exploration, and relationship issues.

Colleen approaches therapy from an integrative, client-centered approach to match each individual’s unique needs. Her approach includes but is not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solutions-focused, strengths-based, and motivational interviewing. She strongly believes in community and reaching out to others for support as we move along our personal journeys. Colleen enjoys exploring how past experiences affect the way we move through the world and pursuing what can be done in the present to help clients feel better.

As a cis-gendered, white woman who has lived in many different communities around the US, Colleen continues to strive to learn about others’ cultures and experience with humility and curiosity. She believes that all humans desire connection, acceptance, and love and that we are offered an opportunity to grow and learn from each other if we remain open, vulnerable, respectful, and humble.

Colleen graduated from Saint Mary’s University with a Masters in Counseling and Psychological Services. Colleen is working under the supervision of Dr. Keyur Desai, PsyD, LPCC, while she pursues clinical licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. In her free time, Colleen enjoys camping, hiking, yoga, cooking, and exploring new restaurants, and her lab pup, Duke.
