As a therapist and educator, I believe that "knowledge is power" - power to find our fullest expression of self and to create the kind of life and world we want to see. I use research-based modalities and time-tested wisdom to empower my clients and community. I stay educated and up-to-date on the latest knowledge of the human experience to help make sense of our individual and collective realities. I have completed The Couples Institute, am a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, &am supervised by AASECT sex therapists.

I truly enjoy collaborating with a client to explore their needs and help them become a healthier, happier person. I have a broad range of experience and have worked extensively with people dealing with anxiety and stress management, depression, substance abuse and addiction, and eating disorders. I am a Licensed Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Counselor and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist. I have also done a lot of work with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, managing boundaries, tolerating distress, & coping with emotions. I think my clients can best speak to what the experience at NWA Therapy is like.

I believe the counseling relationship is a powerful tool for learning to to be kinder and more generous with ourselves. I understand that many of us come from environments, past or present, that tell us we do not "deserve" safety, love, acceptance, or belonging, and sometimes this keeps us at a remove from our communities and loved ones. In my practice, I collaborate with clients to create a safe, shame-free place for moving through and beyond these messages—a place where it is possible to experiment with vulnerability while searching for the most authentic and empowered version of the client's life.

Life is not always kind. It is difficult to balance all of the demands of life while also taking care of ourselves. It can be made particularly difficult when these challenges seem to require more than we have to give. I believe that we all have the courage and strength necessary to overcome these obstacles, but that we all need help sometimes recognizing our abilities and learning the skills we need. I am a licensed clinical psychologist (AR 19-02D) specializing in diagnostic assessment and evidence based interventions. I invite you to learn more about me and my work at evidencebasedlr.com

Finding a therapist is like dating. You need to try out a few people to see what works best for you. It's not just the vibe or style of the therapist, but the support staff, the convenience of scheduling, and ability to get your needs met that makes or break the therapeutic relationship. We offer extended times throughout the evening to make appointments more convenient for busy professionals and families. We take a holistic approach to therapy where we connect people to their bodies and to other support systems to improve functioning in all areas of life.

Hi. I’m so glad you’re here. I know it’s been hard and you’re ready to make a change. I’m here to help. My name is Lana Henry, M.S., LAC and I am a cognitive behavioral therapist. My cognitive approach to therapy provides a framework that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. I explore past experiences, both positive and negative that may have contributed to current thoughts around certain situations, people and things. My aim is to help identify negative thought patterns or beliefs that cause distress and challenge those to provide a changed approach to your beliefs.

Welcome! During my career I have primarily worked with adolescents and adults who come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of challenges. I specialize in helping those struggle with issues related to trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, life adjustments, specific LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship challenges. We are meaning-making creatures who want to live out our values to the best of our abilities, and this can feel impossible without adequate support and tools. My intention is to guide you in living a more meaningful life by building trust, showing compassion, and empowering you on your path towards wellness.

Transition is hard, endings are difficult, and uncertainty is scary. Unresolved emotions, trauma, and/or grief can become complicated, resulting in behaviors and thought patterns that effect all areas of your life. It can lead to burnout, loss of energy, and emotional imbalance. It can cause isolation, anger, and confusion; hopelessness, loneliness, and despair.

From the moment we are born, our relational experiences with family, community, and nature become intimately intertwined with our physical and psychological development. Sometimes, in childhood or adulthood, life and relationships get messy and we come out of balance. I love walking alongside people who are recovering from the complexities of trauma and attachment wounds. In sessions, we explore and work to strengthen internal relationships among parts of self and then organically bring that healing and compassion outwards to help make everyday life a bit more fulfilling and in alignment with your sense of authenticity.

I am passionate about helping adults from all backgrounds work through life challenges. I enjoy meeting the client where they are at in terms of motivation for change and what they value most.

Feeling vulnerable is never an easy task, it can be scary; I am here to help. Do you feel isolated, anxious, sad, and unmotivated? Life is filled with change; some planned and exciting, others unexpected and scary. Sometimes even planned change can tax our coping ability. That is what I am here for, to assist in navigating the unknown of life, we are experiencing so many unknowns at the moment. I am here to help with isolation, anxiety, depression, life changes, and coping skills building. I am an unbias sounding board, I care and I want to help. I believe change is possible and I would love to assist you in your journey.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients navigating the difficult path through trauma and stress. Working in partnership with clients, I first seek to understand where they are on that path and how they got there. Then I seek to help people develop a greater awareness of their body’s autonomic reactions to stress, so they are less consumed by their thoughts and emotions, and are able to regain their sense of safety and control.

Welcome! My name is Laura Carpenter and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. My specialties include working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My goal for our time together is to provide a warm, safe environment for you to find relief and healing.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults to address a number of mental health and behavioral concerns, from difficulty adjusting to life's stressors to serious emotional and behavioral challenges related to neglect, trauma, and abuse. When difficulties arise in the school setting with peers and teachers, parents often don't know where to turn for help.

As necessary as change often is, it can also be one of the hardest things to do. It seems safe to stay with what we know even if it's not what's for our best. The good news is is that change is indeed possible! Having an outside perspective to process your story and to begin to interpret and understand things differently can be a vital as you pursue growth and change. The lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) considers your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how these interact as well as how they influence our interactions with others; it acknowledge the past while focusing primarily on growth in the present and future.

Taking in-person & telehealth clients - I’m happy you have made it here and can’t wait to see how therapy might improve your life. I enjoy working with adults, teenagers, and couples. While I work with the full spectrum of mental health difficulties, I have specific experience working with trauma, abuse, anxiety, attachment/relationship dynamics, identity development, and adjustment to life changes. Often people who are seeking therapy are hoping to find a sense of control in their life and assurance that they are not alone in their experiences. No matter what brings you to seek therapy, I am here for your journey.

My ideal client is someone who has a feeling that something is not as it should be in their life. I believe that every person has wounds either from family, disappointments in life, or from traumatic experiences. I also believe life is most vibrant when those wounds are acknowledged and witnessed by those you trust, rather than avoided or denied. As a therapist, I am privileged to join my clients on a part of their journey towards healing and fulfillment.

I help people find relief from stressors past and present that are negatively impacting their well-being.
