Emma Clark

While pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Global Women’s Studies, Emma came across a local birth doula training and decided to enroll. The training ignited a passion for maternal health that Emma continues to follow. As a doula, Emma has supported a variety of parents through medicated, unmedicated, hospital, and birth center births. After graduating, Emma was hired as a Maternal and Child Health Specialist at the International Rescue Committee and spent the following two years supporting refugee women and families resettling in the United States navigate fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Today, Emma is pursuing a Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Chicago Crown School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice with the goal of providing empathetic, skillful, and inclusive care to birthing and postpartum people, parents, and young children. In addition to earning her degree, Emma has recently been certified and started working as a postpartum doula in the Chicago area. Her areas of particular interest include making health and mental health information more accessible and affirming LGBTQIA+ individuals and families. She is thrilled to join the team at PMHC-Chicago as a psychotherapy intern and looks forward to connecting with and supporting clients beginning in September of 2025. Reach out to schedule today!
