Clarkie Hussey
Hello! I’m a recent graduate of the iCAPP program and very excited to start the adult psychoanalytic training program this fall. I work part-time as part of a private practice therapy alliance, with an office in Queen Anne, and do a mix of telehealth and in-person. Outside of work I’m mostly hanging out with my three-year old, but also love weightlifting and home improvement projects.
