Dr. Diaon Clarke. LCSW-R
FOUNDER
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual's life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy! I have been in the social work field for over 20 years. I have a passion for helping others work towards achieving the life they desire. In my career I have focused on supporting people of color engage in mental health treatment and reduce the stigma around receiving services. I specialize in working with individuals impacted by trauma, women dealing with life issues, individuals dealing with acculturation issues, parenting struggles and life transitions. Throughout my career I have worked in a number of settings and gained a wealth of knowledge. As I have grown in my career I have expanded my focus to teaching an training. Through the creation of my practice I have been able to support the training of BIPOC clinicians. I am proud to contribute to the availability of highly skilled clinicians of color. Our work has been able to impact may people who have successfully engaged in treatment for the first time. My hope is to continue to grow the practice and offer individuals a space where they can feel seen and heard by people who are representative of them.

Natasha Thompson, MSW
Clinician
I consider therapy a partnership, a collaborative journey where both therapist and client walk together towards healing and growth. This collaborative relationship is built on mutual trust, respect, and a shared vision for achieving personal transformation. I genuinely believe that each individual possesses an inner strength, sometimes hidden yet always present, that can propel us to any stage or achievement in life that we truly desire. By pooling our resources, insights, and efforts, we can make what might seem impossible, entirely attainable. My goal as a therapist is to serve as a supportive companion and resourceful guide on this journey. I am committed to assisting clients in articulating their goals with clarity and purpose. Together, we will forge tangible pathways to achieve these goals, equipping them with tools and strategies to handle life's unpredictable nature. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel empowered to explore their deepest concerns and most cherished aspirations. In anticipation of our partnership, I find inspiration in Martin Luther King Jr.'s words: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." This powerful metaphor serves as a beacon of resilience, reminding us that amidst life's challenges, there is always hope and a potential for growth.
