Registered Social Worker
Brisha Marli Clark
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I understand that we can all fall into cycles of negative self-thoughts and limiting beliefs. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s words—“you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them”—I approach therapy with the belief that while we may not choose our hardships, we do have the power to grow through them.

I specialize in perinatal mental health, and enjoy working with parents of children across all developmental stages.
