Getting to know Gilbert Clark
I am a MA, LPC, LPCC, MCAP, CAADC, and a CCS. I am a certified gambling addiction counselor in the State of Minnesota. I hold a Master’s in Addiction Counseling from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, and my diverse training through the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies, as well as training through the Mayo Clinic, has enriched my understanding of holistic wellness. Additionally, I have experience in a wide variety of treatment environments with diverse clientele and understand that treatment is most effective when care is tailored with respect for the individual. I have served as a clinical director and supervisor, and I have enjoyed mentoring those in the early days of their careers.
What should a new client know about working with you?
To create my therapeutic approach, I use an eclectic process which draws on cognitive, narrative, and solution focused therapy. I use ACT extensively. I am trained in EMDR to treat trauma. Additionally I identify as a creative and write, record, and perform original music with a specialization in recovery music. These modalities allow for me to provide a creative,experiential, compassionate, trauma informed, and person centered approach and therapeutic style.
I have extensive experience in addiction treatment and recovery, and am able to guide you through the initial assessment, all the phases of recovery, and towards ongoing wellness and maintenance. I also have a passion for mental health healing, and am skilled with relationship challenges, familial challenges, families seeking support for their loved ones, self exploration, and trauma.
