Clark Beckley, MSW, LCSW

My approach to working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families is centered on the idea that we are experiencing components of our personal story each and every day. When we conclude a chapter, it can impact the next chapter. By understanding our experiences and crafting our next steps, we can shape our story. I seek clients who are open to the discovery of their story and how it led them to their current circumstance. I am best able to nurture a relationship with a client that is aware of their reason for seeking support, and who is comfortable with a direct approach to realizing their goals. I have considerable experience working with adolescents and families with a wide range of circumstances, mental health concerns, and supporting those who were in crisis. Additionally, my experience extends to working with adults coping with a life transition, relationships, and mental health issues. Additionally, I work with clients seeking support in their healing journey as survivors of abuse and other traumas. Also, I appreciate the complex circumstances in working with men and women impacted by domestic violence. My professional experiences in law enforcement and child welfare provides a unique perspective in supporting veterans, medical, public safety, child welfare, and other professionals who are susceptible to experiencing personal, relational, and professional disruption due to post-traumatic stress, secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and burnout.

As an adoptee, I provide a personal perspective in my supportive work with child, adolescent, and adult adoptees, their families, and birth parents who are experiencing the unique adjustments encountered in the social and family environment.
