How it all began
​
​
​
Hello,
​
My name is Darcie R Clark and I am the the Founder and CEO of Riverscape Counseling , I received my Undergraduate degree in Equestrian Science from William Woods University and I Minored in Art in 1995. I believe now, since I decided not to go in that direction, that is was just meant to be a stepping stone. It is what gave me the push I needed to go back to school and obtain my Masters in Criminal Justice in 1998 and then finally, my Masters in Community Mental Health Counseling.
​
Because of this combo, much of my early work was with juveniles and adolescents involved in the Court System, on Probation, or in Treatment /Correctional facilities . After that, 7 years was spent solely in Private Practice . One day, one of my colleagues had approached me stating she had an office space of her own and needed some help financially. She was looking for someone to share the cost with her. I decided to take the leap. I knew that there were changes I wanted to see happen in the mental health field and I was happy for the opportunity. In 2011 I decided, after taking this first step, that this was indeed a positive life direction. I wanted to give more attention to my own clients and provide services in a way that I believed provided the greatest amount of quality care . I started off very slow . Then one day towards the end of 2011 I took over that office space and began the practice as Darcie R Clark LPCC LLC .
​
In reflecting back, I realized, each time I made a large step with regards to the company, it felt gigantic and scary, but each time I'd taken a step, is the very moment when the other steps presented themselves.
​
I was 2 years on my own and then I hired one person and a receptionist who only worked until noon. This is when we moved to 11 W. Monument where our Main office sits today, and began doing business as (DBA).... Riverscape Counseling .
​
In June of 2016 we began our Equine Therapy program which is called Horses 2 Healing (H2H ) , in Springboro. To bring it full circle , my Degree in Equestrian Science, which I hadn’t believed would count for much, now was #relevantagain .
In December 2018 is when we opened our Centerville Site. Located at 761 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. This began connecting the steps in my journey.
​
In 2020 we opened our oldest office. The Wolcott-Ostram House built in the late 1800's (but it's not haunted , don't worry), became our Indianapolis home. One of the most important things I have learned is how important it is to have good people in the right places and how much all of those people matter.
​
Lastly, in 2024 ,our newest office was opened in Springfield Ohio. Built in 1896 it is our newest office ,but also currently in competition with our Indianapolis office over who gets to claim the title of being "The Oldest" . Our commitment to our Community Continues.
​
We have now grown to 40 Counselors (Several with dual Licenses), and 6 Administrators and a Maintenance team.
This basic formula continues today, thousands of patients later. Riverscape Counseling continues to honor the vision that you are the expert in your life and we are so glad that we are here to walk along with you on your journey.

As the mom of a trans daughter, it has been important to serve those within LGBTQAI+ Community and those who are underserved or overlooked. Riverscape makes an extra effort to make our places safe spaces and is welcoming to all . We recognize the unique backgrounds that shape each of our lives and incorporate it within the scope of our practice.
“There is no such thing as doing nothing. There is no such thing as neutral or uninvolved. At every moment, social life involves all of us. — Allan Johnson

What Defines Us
Our deep compassion and understanding here at Riverscape Counseling doesn't just come from a place of caring , it also comes from a place of shared experience. Many of our counselors have been through the trenches and back again , we have faced many of the same obstacles and overcome them. When we hear your pain .... we really hear your pain.
When our clients get better, we see them connecting with the world in whatever way that means for them. Some pick up old hobbies they haven’t enjoyed in years, get that job they’ve always wanted or connect with the friends or partners they have been looking for. We have seen people rediscover themselves after loss or trauma. We have a history of working with different groups of people that other therapists don’t specialize in or will downright refuse to see. So, no one coming to our office has to be afraid that anything about them or their lives will be a barrier to therapy here.
​
We are passionate about being a supporter of the underdog, the outsider. We have great faith in what people can do. We like to see that spark in belief that people have in themselves and help it grow even when the outside world doesn’t believe it yet. It is a very special moment when we can share with a client the knowledge that we both know something better is in store for them. If they don’t know it yet, they can borrow some of our belief until theirs kick in.
