Hello! Does your child experience high anxiety? Are you tired of tantrum meltdowns? Do you worry about your child being successful at school?

Video on website! When you come to therapy, you want something substantially different. You don’t want to pay for a sounding board; you want a therapist with the experience & training to dive deep into your story & bring you change. That is what I do. I use an experiential style of therapy that works well with people struggling with issues including addiction, affair recovery, trauma, abuse recovery, anxiety, attachment, spiritual growth, relational problems, and teens & their parents. I work hard to help people heal from painful wounds & problematic behaviors.

As a psychologist, I help people change the thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that interfere with their physical and psychological health. As individuals begin to examine their feelings and attitudes and develop more effective patterns of behavior, they begin to feel happier and more content with their lives. Each individual, couple or family is provided with a supportive environment to talk openly about concerns, solve problems and achieve a healthier and happier lifestyle as quickly as possible.

We all go through rough patches. I'm here to assist you in exploring the rough patch you are struggling with. We will explore your hidden strengths and develop new approaches to handle any old patterns tripping you up! I'm down to earth and easy to talk to. No pretentiousness here! Call today and let's make a plan talk about creating your ideal treatment plan together.

My hope for you is increased happiness, peace and coping. I honor the courage it takes to engage in talk therapy. I have been a licensed counselor (LPC) for over 30 years and I enjoy helping others. I am capable of working with a variety of client ages and issues. I believe that each person who engages in therapy deserves a tailored plan we develop together to help with your specific situations. I believe that processing feelings and thoughts along with education in a non-judgmental and safe environment can move you from surviving to thriving. I'm happy to help you!

To that one soul reading this, I know you're tired. You're fed up. You're so close to breaking, but there's hope and strength within you. You deserve a happier, healthier life, and you can have it. I have years of experience and success helping my clients break out of unhealthy patterns to feel more empowered and strong. I provide empathy, compassion, and offer a supportive, safe, judgement free environment where all are welcome.

As we manage difficulty, challenges can occur. Adapting to a challenge may result in a psychological toll and feel exhausting. I invite you to visit. I am inclusive and an LGBTQIA+ ally. My experience includes working extensively with children, adolescents, teens and families both traditional and blended. Working with young adults launching into the college experience. Couples managing relationship issues, addressing healthy boundaries, reciprocity, integration, addictions, and improving communication. My space is for you and your meaningful experiences. I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to meeting you.

I believe that the answers are inside you, but they get confused and lost among life's daily battles. They get buried under the opinions of bystanders who don't have to walk in your shoes and experts whose life looks nothing like yours. My goal as a therapist is to help you hear YOU. To clear space where that small voice that knows you better than anyone else, can finally be heard. My job is to listen, to see if you're hearing what I'm hearing and to reflect back where your heart and your head aren't matching up.

Are you experiencing pain, sorrow, depression, anxiety, grief, or work/life imbalances? Perhaps you are stressed with the changes occurring every day and would like to share your struggles with someone who is non-judgmental? Or do you just need someone to guide you to see that you, yes YOU, already have the tools you need to grow and blossom into your highest self? I would love to help you embark on this journey via counseling. My name is Kimberly Robinson and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker located in West Little Rock. I look forward to speaking with you in the future.

I have found that at the heart of what I do is connection: connecting with clients so that they feel seen and heard, helping children and parents reconnect when challenging behaviors and emotions get in the way, helping individuals explore and connect with parts of themselves to help them move past their struggles and thrive. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral and emotional difficulties with your child, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and chronic stress, stress management or other phase of life issues, I am here to help.

Do you feel "stuck"? Are you tired of struggling with, or worse yet, avoiding things that have bothered you for a while? Are there things in your life you cannot seem to get past? Are you ready to be your best you? Is your relationship not where it once was, or where you would like it to be now?

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you lack feelings of safety in your life? Maybe you feel like nobody understands your pain or fear. Having a lack of trust in yourself, others, or the world can make reaching out for help immensely difficult. If you are reading this, you have taken a brave first step. Although therapy may seem intimidating, my approach focuses on your felt safety; between us, and within yourself. I have many therapeutic techniques to help you, but from my experience, the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool towards healing.

I'm a Pediatrician by training, who has spent the last decade helping children and their families with behavioral health issues (ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc). I take pride in developing a comfortable working relationship with my patients and their parents, which increases the probability of reaching our goals as fast as possible during their crucial developmental years. As a parent myself, I appreciate straight answers and easy to understand explanations. I strive to give you the time you need to share your journey and the respect you deserve as the person on the front lines with your child.

Cheri is a licensed professional counselor that has been working with clients for over 10 years and has experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, and other life experiences. She enjoys working with children, adolescents, and adults through individual and family therapy modalities.

Life can be hard, difficult, overwhelming, frustrating, and sometimes unbearable. You face so many challenges and disappointments – some which can’t even be shared with close friends and family. You go on like nothing is wrong, but it doesn’t stop the thoughts or emotions from hitting you at the most random times. Wishing and hoping it will go away hasn’t really worked either. If you read that and thought, "this is me", Heart Matters Therapy can help.

Life has challenging moments and obstacles and having someone to work with you on your journey can help make the impossible become possible. Are you looking to heal and build a better path? Do past events or daily stressors overwhelm you? Do you feel like you've attempted to make change or work through your emotional pain but nothing seems to be working? Often it can be frustrating when you've feel that you have exhausted your options to building a better path.
