I’m Leslie Williams, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I care for individuals ages 12 and up, offering psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, trauma-informed care tailored to each person’s unique needs. I am currently working on everything I need to get PATH up and running. I am hoping to start seeing clients in Mid-October. Please look for updates on my provide around this time. I will be letting you know the best way to schedule with me.
My journey to psychiatry began during my time as a school nurse, where I witnessed the deep impact of trauma and the growing need for accessible mental health support—especially in rural communities. This inspired me to return to school and specialize in psychiatry, with a focus on healing through connection, understanding, and trust.
I founded PATH Psychiatric Mental Health to bring compassionate, flexible care to Heber Springs, Arkansas and surrounding areas—offering both in-person and telehealth services to reduce barriers and help people get the care they need, when they need it.

  • Supportive therapy

I often use supportive therapy in visits to meet patients where they are. This includes a safe space to talk through challenges, gain perspective, and build coping skills-alongside medication management as needed.
