About

Hello, I’m Dr. Clark

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing evidence-based therapy. Known by my clients for my warm, direct, and interactive style, I deeply value the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change.

I specialize in evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety, but I treat a wide range of mental health struggles in my practice. I work with adults and adolescents; with individuals, couples and families.

Third Wave

What does Third Wave mean anyway?

The Third Wave of behavioral therapy includes the mindfulness based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). These are my specialties and in addition to practicing in this area, I provide training and supervision to other clinicians in these modalities.

Training and Practice

I completed my postdoctoral training at Harvard/ McLean Hospital, and I have held faculty appointments at UMASS Medical School and Harvard Medical School, where I currently supervise doctoral interns. I am licensed in MA, NY, NJ and FL.

I have had a mindfulness practice for about 25 years in my free time I love hiking in the woods, listening to live music, and spending time with family and friends.

Kind Words

What Colleagues Say

Dr Christy Clark is exceptional at blending warmth, humility, and a genuine mastery of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I had the pleasure of being supervised by her previously. Her patients are lucky to have this exceptional clinician.

- Ronald Nicholson Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD

Dr. Clark is my go-to for peer consultation.  Her wealth of knowledge and years of experience are equaled by her thoughtful guidance, helping me experientially arrive at my best self as an ACT therapist.  Both I and my clients benefit so much from this professional relationship.
