Dr. Carol Clark

Dr. Carol Clark is board certified in sex therapy, transgender care, and addictions and is the president, founder, and senior instructor for the International Institute of Clinical Sexology and the Therapist Certification Association. Sexuality is integral to people’s live and yet most therapists are not adequately trained in treating sexual disorders and concerns. She created several certification programs and a doctoral degree in Clinical Sexology to fully prepare healthcare providers to work competently and expertly in this field.

Through her private practice, Dr. Clark’s work has helped individuals from a multitude of backgrounds to find better lives. She employs a variety of interventions to effectively assist those seeking personal growth and an improved sense of well-being in their lives and brings this into her teaching.

In conjunction with her educational and professional development, her spiritual journey has evolved to an emotional and intellectual awareness of addiction as a condition that permeates all aspects of people’s lives, and this concept can be applied to further the healing of childhood wounds that then allows for the experience of full intimacy. By using the concepts in her book, Addict America: The Lost Connection and My Pocket Therapist: 12 Tools for Living in Connection, she facilitates the recovery of Connection in people’s lives.
