Rev. Colleen Clark is an ordained interfaith minister and a CPSP board-certified clinical chaplain and pastoral counselor. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina, a master’s in mental health counseling from Florida Atlantic University, and an MDiv in interfaith/inspiritual studies from All Paths Divinity School.
Raised Roman Catholic, Colleen discovered Unitarian Universalism at 18 through a pamphlet at the UNC Campus Y—and realized she’d been a UU all along. She has been a committed UU for over 45 years and raised her children in both a UU congregation and a Reform Jewish temple.
A spiritual eclectic, Colleen blends her passions for psychology and religion in her chaplaincy work. She has served in pediatric hospitals and hospice care, and has officiated baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
Now partially retired, she serves as the 5th Sunday speaker at UU PEACE Fellowship and teaches chaplain-related topics online for CPE cohorts across the U.S.
Her hobbies include walking in the woods, reading, quilling, beading, baking, crosswords, activism, and visiting her enbie and their wife in Seattle, as well as her son and his family in Virginia.
