Let’s talk
Barbara Clark, LCSW is a psychotherapist who specializes in treating anxiety and depression through a trauma-informed lens. She works with adolescents, adults, and postpartum parents, supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, identity shifts around parenthood, and attachment-related challenges.
​
Barbara is trained in EMDR therapy through The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy, where she developed advanced skills in helping clients process trauma and emotional distress. Her integrative approach is especially effective for those experiencing chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and trauma-related symptoms.
​
She also provides couples and family counseling, supporting clients through relational conflict, divorce, and mental health issues affecting family dynamics. Barbara uses a culturally humble approach to help families explore complex issues related to race, religion, and identity.
With experience supporting individuals through major life transitions—including college adjustment, adolescent identity development, and LGBTQIA+ challenges—Barbara offers a grounded, compassionate space for exploration and healing.
​
Prior to entering private practice, she worked in an agency setting serving at-risk adolescents and parents facing anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, and Serious Emotional Disorders (SED), helping improve functioning in the home, school, and community.
​
Barbara holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University and is a licensed psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
