Michelle Clark, M.S.,Ed., LCPC, NCC

Michelle Clark provided therapy to youth in a residential treatment center before joining TriCity Family Services in 1999. She began by offering youth crisis assessment/intervention and family therapy, and has since expanded her clinical work to include therapy with adults and couples, including Employee Assistance Program work.

Over the years, Clark’s passion for prevention and early intervention programming grew. In 2006, she joined the agency’s management team as coordinator of community services. In that role, Clark supervises all of the agency’s Prevention, early Intervention, and Wellness programs, as well as continuing to co-facilitate groups, develop new programs, and offer both community presentations and facilitated networking discussions.

Clark has special training in anger management for youth and adults, the treatment of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders, clients who self-mutilate, strengths-based wraparound services, implementation of parenting programs, and the use of play techniques in therapy. She has been trained by the Changing Children’s Worlds Foundation in the facilitation of the International Child Development Program (ICDP-USA) and is pursuing trainer status.

A Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Clark received her Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on counseling in a community setting from Northern Illinois University.
