    Very approachable and knowledgeable. Went out of her way to explain my health to me. She’s LGBTQA+ knowledgable and helped me differentiate my circumstantial issues from more clinical issues and historical trauma.
    Provider PMHNP Clarke is very personable and offers both a listening ear and helping hand alongside your care and treatment. Right away, it was easy to feel comfortable with her when she greets you on a first-name basis. I consistently feel like I am in a safe space and environment with her, which can be difficult to achieve in tele-health.
