Meet Dr. Rochelle Henderson-Clark LPC, LSATP

Hello, I am Dr. Rochelle Henderson-Clark a psychotherapist and the sole proprietor of A Step Beyond Clinical Services. Having over twenty years’ experience in helping children, adolescents and adults with mental health issues, severe psychiatric illnesses, alcohol/drug addiction and relationship issues.  I have always had a deep passion to help others.  As a young adult, I was inspired to become an attorney.  My mission was to fight for the underserved in my community.  As a result, I obtained a dual bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology.  During my undergraduate internship, I became aware of the many traumas that individuals face, that have never been addressed.  In my experience I have seen maladaptive behaviors increase over time.  This often leads to incarceration and/or unhealthy lifestyles.  It was then that I felt the greater need to help individuals address their issues, through the use of counseling. With counseling, individuals can become mentally and emotionally healthy and substance free and live a healthier lifestyle. This inspired me to do my part to work with individuals to provide them the tools to be successful.  That is why I always say, “I didn’t choose this profession, it chose me.”

I have a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in addition to a Ph.D. in Human Services with a specialization in Counseling.  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner.  My work and training with the co-occurring disorders population has earned me a certificate as a Co-Occurring Disorders Professional. I was privileged to earn a place in the international honors society of Chi Sigma Iota that recognizes academic and professional excellence in the field of Counseling.  I have a long-standing commitment of helping individuals with mental, behavioral, emotional, and substance abuse issues.  At A Step Beyond Clinical Services, we can assist you in achieving personal growth and meeting your life’s goal, through the use of therapeutic interventions.
