ABOUT
JERRY D. CLARK, MA LPC
Success Coach, Counselor, Author and Speaker
During my personal counseling, I began hearing God call me back to college to become a counselor. It was not an audible voice but a compassionate tug. I was concerned about being successful. I kept hearing God’s whisper,
“Take care of my people and
I will take care of you.”
I was witnessing first-hand the effectiveness of counseling for individuals and families and desperately wanted to be involved.
Growing up in West Texas, life was simple; cactus, mesquite trees, and caliche roads, but it shaped who I am today. I was the fifth of six children in a modest family where my parents, despite limited education, stressed its importance. After high school, I stumbled academically, which led me to the Marines in 1966. I served honorably in Vietnam and returned home ready for the next chapter.
​
I married, became a father of two sons, and pursued a career with General Telephone (later Verizon) for 30 years, ultimately serving as an Engineering and Construction Manager. Along the way, I faced the challenges of marriage and fatherhood, learning firsthand how much I had to grow.
​
My journey into counseling began when family struggles drew me back to personal growth. This transformative path led me to earn a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1996. Since then, I’ve built a successful counseling practice, helping individuals, families, and teens discover new possibilities, navigate challenges, and grow in their relationships.
​
My current plans include living the next twenty years leaning forward, making a difference in my own life and any others I can positively touch. I refuse to sit back and allow life to happen but to stay heavily involved with making a positive difference to myself and any others who will accept the challenge to look at their blind spots.
