Behavioral Issues Therapists in Greenwood, AR

I believe it is possible to make what is overwhelming manageable, improve daily functioning, and meet individual goals through skill development and new understandings. I provide support for adolescents, teens, individual adults, and couples while meeting life struggles and challenges.

Where do I go from here you might ask? You've endured a traumatic experience, maybe even more than once. You just had another blowout with your troublesome child or your family is in a spiraling crisis. You're in a volatile custody battle. Perhaps you don't recognize who you are anymore. You are paralyzed with fear or you don't know why you are so sad. Did that last explosive outburst of anger cross a penalizing line? I can help. I can work to help you function, to overcome a baffling obstacle or see a new vista.

Life can leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, disconnected, and full of emotions that we may not understand. You may find yourself struggling with trauma, acceptance, anxiety, depression, worry, fear, grief, and/or shame. You may remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to learn ways to diminish unwanted feelings and symptoms. You're ready to face your problems and work through them. Most of all, you're ready to improve your quality of life and live beyond your struggles and worries.

I believe we are each on a journey in life and sometimes we need someone willing to walk with us to help us along our path. It is my goal for everyone to feel accepted and to know they are not alone. I believe everyone has the ability and capability to be their best selves. It is my mission to provide a safe and supportive space for my clients so they achieve the best in their lives. I work with adolescences, adults, and single parent, divorced, and blended families. I embrace working with diverse people of every race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,

So many of us have been through traumatic experiences that have left us feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, and falling into unhealthy patterns. We experience an inner critical voice that tells us we are not good enough, ugly, or worthless. I love to provide a safe and comforting space for clients to process their difficult life experiences, break through cycles of shame, and begin recovery from addictive behaviors, including with eating and embodiment issues. Together, we focus on healing, reclaiming health, practicing intuitive self-care, celebrating your authentic self and beauty, and cultivating self-love.

Everyone has a rough time sometimes. This can be a result of trauma or mental health or even our own choices. My goal as a therapist is to help recover from those times and enter the next phase of healing so that the third phase of life can be amazing. Our past doesn't define us but how we respond to the past can define us. Let's work together to make that the most positive growth point.

I'm Jason Dax Hays. Call me Dax. I specialize in treating adults and have been doing so via community mental health as a licensed professional since 2011. I have worked as a mental health paraprofessional since 2004. I'm good with people in crisis. I have met people and worked through their chronic mental illnesses with them - seeing them at their worst but eventually watching them flower into their best.

I want to start by saying that I truly hold a solid belief that each and every human deserves to feel happiness, love, excitement, contentment, and ultimately to achieve their dreams, desires, goals, and best-selves! I implement an integrative approach, with a craving to help. Whether that assistance be with a child struggling with ADHD, an individual learning to cope with anxiety/depression, a couple struggling, or an entire family in need, I am devoted to seeking out and destroying the obstacles, strongholds, cognitive distortions, or whatever the “problem” is that is impeding their ability to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives.

My goal is to help others find peace in their lives. I love working with families who struggle to maintain a calm home because It Is Hard! Sometimes we find it’s ourselves that block peace. I also very much enjoy helping all ages individually find out what triggers them and how to regulate to find peace in themselves.

I have many years of experience working with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. It is my goal to walk with clients through difficult times and move them towards living a full and meaningful life. Each person, couple, and family have a unique story. I use a client centered approach and believe in treating everyone with respect. My approach is flexible, affirming, compassionate and will focus on holding a safe space for you, while challenging you when necessary.

Relationships are of utmost importance to me and I see the value in helping others work towards the relationships they need and deserve. I aim to join you where you are and in a loving yet firm way, help you to see your role in the negative interactional patterns that are occurring in your life whether it involves a spouse, a child, a family member, friendship or work relationship. We are created for connection and whether or not how we approach those connections is healthy will determine our stability and security in life.

My mission is to help clients through the challenges they're facing so that they're able to live full, happy, and healthy lives. Seeking help is the first step toward greater contentment and an improved ability to cope with the struggles that life invariably throws our way. I congratulate you on taking that first important (and sometimes frightening) step! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over fifteen years of experience in mental health. I work with adolescents, adults, families, divorced and single parents, blended families, and see people of every race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

I believe you already possess within you, everything you need to work through whatever issue you bring to my office. You simply need some help pulling it out. Maybe you know exactly what the issue is or maybe you are having a hard time pinpointing what is going on, but you know something "feels off". Two of the biggest questions we tackle in your first session are, "What final made you decide to come to therapy?" and "What do you hope to gain by coming to therapy?" These two questions help lay the foundation we will build on.

We all have struggles from time to time. Life can bring loss, disappointment, confusion, frustration, and the feeling of being completely overwhelmed. The clutter of emotions can take over our lives and affect our relationships. A counselor provides an emphatic ear, support, and a safe place to sort through the struggles and emotions. Many times I find clients are unaware of their strengths therefore underutilizing them. Some simply are unsure of the next step. I help clients regain control of their emotions and clear the way to better choices.

Recognizing life's challenges, I am committed to nurturing a supportive, inclusive atmosphere. My approach to each client is marked by empathy, understanding, and a nonjudgmental perspective, honoring the uniqueness of their personal journey. Working with children and adolescents, I tailor therapeutic techniques to meet their emotional and developmental needs, while collaborating with their families to enhance their overall wholeness and autonomy.

Relationships are hard. The stresses of everyday life tend to throw curveballs that can cause conflict even in the healthiest of relationships. If you and your loved ones are in a place where it’s difficult to see a way out of the conflict, counseling is a great tool to help you become unstuck and find a path forward. Relational work is my passion and I love to see individuals connect with one another in meaningful and impactful ways. I respect and honor the worth of every individual, couple, and family unit, and I have created a safe and welcoming space for you to come just as you are.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that specializes in play therapy to provide counseling services to children, adolescents, and their families. I am honored to work with children and to provide a safe place for them to resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development, specifically through play. My work with children involves meeting them where they are emotionally and developmentally through play therapy, while also working with their families to improve daily functioning. Play therapy gives children the capability to improve regulation skills, tolerate frustrations, and improve relationships.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you often feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, working hard just to get through the day? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to move beyond the loss, beyond the trauma that continues to impact their careers, their relationships, their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldnʼt be so hard to live a better life.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples or families who are ready to grow and change. In most areas of life today stress and conflict are rampant and can steal our joy making it difficult to see the good things in our life. Career stress, school pressures or even work related or childhood trauma is becoming more and more common in this country. These days it is easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. It is my belief that most of us need to make it a priority to slow down, examine our life-current, past and future-in order to live with purpose and peace in the midst of a rapidly changing world.
