Hello! Thank you for stopping in to read my bio. My name is Kessalyn Clark, I am a licensed therapist currently residing in Helena, Montana. I have been practicing as a Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Therapist with 5 years clinical work experience and 15 years total in this field. Prior to working with individuals, I served children, teens/adolescents and families in inpatient and outpatient settings. While I have always enjoyed working with children, teens and young adults, I have a great deal of experience working with a wide range of populations. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma and abuse, grief, motivation, self-esteem and confidence and even serve court mandated individuals. I have primarily worked in an agency setting but just recently moved into private practice. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s many obstacles and bringing them to place of optimal functioning and their truest enjoyment of life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kessalyn Clark. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Out of the three therapists I’ve seen in my entire life, she is the best. She is understanding and never talks down to me when I feel vulnerable. She is the best so far. She leads me to the healthy answer even when i’m stuck in rutty muck and she provides me with things to work on and improve myself with. She makes me look for the good even when it feels so much smaller than the bad. She asks my permission to talk about dodgy subjects that i might not feel ready to delve into. She is incredibly respectful and patient with me because we’re both working together to make something better and that takes time.
