Craig Clarke, LPC

Life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or uncertain about the path ahead. Craig believes that healing begins with feeling genuinely heard and understood. He is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

​

Craig earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University and brings a unique blend of life experience, professional insight, and compassion to the counseling relationship. Before entering the mental health field, he served in the Intelligence Community at Quantico, where he developed a deep appreciation for resilience, critical thinking, and the complexities of the human experience. His diverse background allows him to connect with clients from many walks of life with empathy, authenticity, and respect.

​

Craig's therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered, recognizing that each individual has a unique story and personal strengths. He integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and person-centered therapy to help clients gain insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and create lasting change. For clients who desire it, Craig thoughtfully incorporates Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process while honoring each person's individual beliefs and values.
