A native of Blair County, Dr. Clark’s passion for helping others in rural communities began at a young age. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Mount Aloysius College in 2015, with concentrations in counseling, expressive arts for healing, studio art, and criminal justice and addictions. Her interest in integrating creativity into mental health work deepened during her time as Program Director for Evolution Expression’s Arts for Healing Program.

She went on to complete both her Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Psychology, with an emphasis in Clinical Psychology, at Fielding Graduate University. Dr. Clark's dissertation, “Creative Work During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” explored the therapeutic impact of creativity during times of global stress and uncertainty.

Dr. Clark completed her full-time predoctoral residency at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Priority Behavioral Health Clinic and Innovative Technology Program in Rochester, New York. There, she received advanced clinical training in health service psychology, which prepared her to provide high-quality care across diverse populations and clinical needs. She earned her Ph.D. in August of 2023.

Now returned to her hometown, Dr. Clark is honored to give back to the community that helped shape her path.
