My name is Dr. Nagma V. Clark and I am a licensed psychotherapist (LPCC # 2744), with a doctoral degree in sex therapy and advanced training in couples therapy. I specialize in helping couples & individuals achieve a fulfilling sexual connection, overcome infidelity, heal from past resentments, learn to love again, strengthen their emotional bond, and become partners in the true sense- have each other’s back, make each other the top priority, become each other’s rock & anchor and love each other unconditionally.  Having endured & overcome extreme childhood adversity, dysfunctional familial dynamics, failed romantic relationships-  I know what it feels like to be stuck in an unhappy relationship, to not be able to trust or feel safe, to be rejected and feel as if you don't even exist for your partner.

A counseling or therapeutic relationship is just like any other relationship- it has to be a good fit in order for it to succeed. I invite you to contact me to schedule a free phone consultation to determine if we would be a good mutual fit and discuss how we can collaborate to help you heal yourself and your relationships. If you decide against contacting me or determine that we are not a good mutual fit, I encourage you to browse my blog for articles offering helpful tips for improving sexual connection, navigating relationship distress, and overcoming barriers to personal growth.

• You are afraid to initiate sex because you don't want to be rejected.
• Your desire to have sex has really gone down.
• You are unsure of your love for your partner.
• Your fights are becoming more explosive than ever.
• You feel on edge around your partner and no matter what you do appears to be not good enough.
• You are looking for a way out of the relationship.
• An affair has happened or you are thinking about having one.
