Therapists in Crawford County, AR
Hi there, I’m Kendra Metcalf and I am a Licensed Professional Counseling (LPC) currently licensed in Arkansas and working with clients locally at my private practice and statewide via telehealth. I have worked with clients of all ages in many different settings including school-based, outpatient community mental health, private practice, and therapeutic communities. Therapy to me is about helping individuals overcome challenges in life whether it's anxiety, stress, depression, work-related issues, relationship struggles, parenting issues, career challenges, or some other stumbling block that is thrown their way in life.

Sometimes we need to talk through the struggle. The stress to succeed in our family, education, career, and relationships creates burdens that are too big to bear alone. If you are like most, you often find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. I believe therapy is a healthy way to appropriately identify and address the struggles that keep us from our best life. I work with teenagers and adults who are struggling with mood, anxiety, depression, relationships and spiritual issues. I am passionate about helping couples improve their marriages through improved communication, conflict resolution, and relationship skills.

EMDR-certified trauma therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, attachment wounds, and emotional overwhelm.
If you feel stuck in survival mode—constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or caught in patterns shaped by past experiences—you’re not alone. Many high-functioning adults carry unresolved trauma that quietly impacts how they feel, relate, and move through life.

If you’re reading this, maybe you’re ready to find freedom from your past...freedom from the feelings of I’m not good enough. It’s that feeling of “not a good enough mom, friend, student, wife…Just never enough!" These feelings can sneak up on us and color our perception of the world. We can end up spending a lot of time in our heads, mentally beating ourselves up until we learn a new way of seeing the world. That’s where I can help!!

Painful experiences can leave us feeling completely alone. Sometimes we just need someone to meet us where we are to find a way to move forward. Healthy relationships can be difficult to navigate, especially when there is a lifetime of hurt getting in the way. I want to help you create healthy, fulfilling, nourishing connections with those you care about. Along with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about working with those who have dealt with trauma.

I provide play therapy and counseling services to children, adolescents, and their families. I feel privileged to work with children and help them to heal emotionally, repair relationships, and improve daily functioning. I believe that all children possess the inner resources to heal themselves. I also believe that play therapy, family support, and the child's relationship with the therapist, best enable children to access those inner resources so they can heal, move forward, and be successful.

If you are looking to make changes and see yourself finding a new sense of purpose, please reach out. In today's fast paced world, we often find ourselves feeling completely isolated and that we can't reach out to anyone. From our first session, we will work to identify the habit loops that created our present and learn how to create the future you want for yourself, your friendships, and your family.

We are all looking for that safe place where we can go to heal and work on finding ways to improve our lives. People's struggles are real and we all just want that person who we know is in our corner when no one else is , but we also need that person who can help us figure out how to turn things around when it seems like there is no hope of changing things.

I consider it a joy to work with couples, families, and individuals. It is an honor when people allow me to walk beside them in their journey. I believe that each person has great worth and their stories are as unique as snowflakes. Sitting with people in their distress gives me an unparalleled vantage point from which to watch the healing power of secure attachment in the lives of my clients. Relationships provide a safe harbor for our lives and when they are strained or broken, we feel real pain. My approach provides a proven path back to healthy relationships.

Shame is never a motivator. Many of your issues may be rooted in shame that you never even realized. Shame can take on many forms; pressure to live up to other's expectations of us, pressure to perform at the rate those around us seem to be, or pressure to live up to our own impossible standards we have created for ourselves. When these measures are not met, we can feel depleted, discouraged, and even hopeless. Or perhaps we have been verbally told by others (either past or present) they were disappointed in us or we weren't good enough. And we cannot seem to escape these defeating and destructive thoughts.

Step out into freedom and embrace the life you were born to live! Is fear running your life? Do you hide the “real you” from family & friends? Discover the courage to be who you truly are! Many people dealing with anxiety, depression and gender and sexuality issues feel they are missing out on life. Clients I work with often report feeling alone and afraid to reach out for help. They no longer want to hide who they are, yet also feel stuck moving forward due to lack of support or fear of judgement. My passion is to help you ditch the shame and find freedom to love the person in the mirror despite the opinions of others.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together, you’re not alone. You might be navigating life on the autism spectrum, parenting a child on the spectrum, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that leave you drained and unsure where to turn next. Maybe your thoughts feel loud, your emotions feel heavy, or you’ve been coping quietly for a long time. I work with adults who want a safe, steady place to slow down, make sense of what they’re going through, and begin reconnecting with their strengths at their own pace.
