Therapists in Rogers, AR

I am proud of you for being here! If you are experiencing periods of depression, types of conflict, increased anxiety or struggling with past trauma, I can help you begin steps towards coping.

I believe that the bravest choice you can make for yourself is to start the journey towards healing! I see it as a privilege to be one of the people to walk through this journey with you. Throughout my career, I have worked with children (age 6) through adults of all ages. My primary focus has been anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse survivors, behavioral issues and sexually maladaptive behaviors.

The process of beginning therapy can feel intimidating and daunting, but you have already made the first step! Congratulations! I am a firm believer that therapy is for everyone, whether you have experienced trauma, relational struggles, anxiety, or the transitions that are inherent with our lives. Often times, these burdens become much too heavy for us to bear alone and infringe on our growth and ability to reach our optimal potential. I want to help my clients view themselves through the lens of self compassion and growth. I am honored to walk through whatever journey my clients are willing to bring me on.

I work with adolescents and adults seeking individual, couples and family counseling for trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have practiced mental health in our community in a variety of clinical settings including in-patient psychiatric hospital, school based, and out-patient care. I began as a counselor specializing in trauma informed care with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Winter and holidays are upon us, a challenging time for many. Are you successful in all the ways the world values but struggling to find love and peace internally? Do you sacrifice yourself and neglect your own needs? Do you have a quiet knowing that some vital part of you is drying up? My clients are sensitive, feeling, intuitive adults interested in doing their ‘inner work.' Distress wears many faces (eg., anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, depression, relationship problems) and tries to relieve itself in many ways (eg., substance use, work, caretaking others). I guide my clients on the worthy quest of coming back to themselves.

Do you sometimes feel as though no one understands you or the situation you find yourself in? Are you struggling with making decisions about your life and future? Do you feel distracted and you can't focus on things important to you? We all can use a neutral person to share our problems or concerns with. After sharing your issues, you can develop insight, then make emotional and behavioral changes. Eventually, you will feel as though you have made progress and completed goals in your life. I have found often times people don't only want someone to help solve their problems, but also to listen!

I am passionate about creating meaningful connections and therapeutic bonds with my clients. I believe that sometimes, this connection serves as the primary source of encouragement, praise, or a sense of safety in an individual's life. My therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in humanism, where I place immense value on the uniqueness and intrinsic worth of every person. My expertise shines when it aligns with the unique needs and areas of interest that I bring to my practice.

Life is something everyone has the privilege of experiencing, as well as, the challenge of facing. It is both a beautiful and difficult thing. The problem is when we are faced with challenges and feel we have nowhere to turn and think we have to figure things out alone. It is a hopeless feeling so many people carry, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The truth is, if there is breath in your lungs there is hope for your future.

Is your hurt holding you back in some way? I can help. I am passionate about helping clients reduce their symptoms, and heal their relationship with themselves. I believe you can heal from the pain that keeps you stuck. My approach is direct yet gentle; in a relaxing atmosphere. I am intentional in meeting each client where they are, and to work toward their goals. I work with clients throughout Arkansas via Telehealth. I believe that to be a well-trained therapist, one must continue learning and growing. And I love reinvesting back into my clients!

Life can be hard. Therapy shouldn't be. One of the most courageous decisions a person can make is to focus on themselves in order to grow. My goal as a therapist is to help you expand your personal wisdom, improve relationships, and create a balanced happy life. I am passionate about working with you to explore your personal strengths and build new ones to help navigate life. I offer a compassionate and laid back approach to therapy. I will meet you where you are and help to provide skills to continue on this journey together.

Hi, I'm Dr. Shona Palmer, and I'm so glad that your search for optimal health and well-being has led you here! I am passionate about helping you create a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. After working as a psychologist for more than twenty years, I noticed that many clients arrived at my office with many aspects of their lives out of balance. If one system is out of balance, usually others are. I increasingly began focusing on integrative psychology and helping others restore health utilizing a holistic approach that encompasses body, mind and spirit.

Welcome! As a therapist, it is both my desire and goal to provide a safe, calming environment for clients to process past events, present struggles, and future worries in order to move toward a more meaningful existence. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma related issues, relationship stressors, and behavioral problems. Through talk therapy, I aim to empower clients to regain control over their lives and emotional well-being. While I believe we are often the expert in our own stories, identifying and changing harmful thought patterns and behaviors can be vital.

I believe in creating a safe place is that allows opportunity to build trust and connection. Openning up can be scary, stressful and difficult. As you to learn skills and self understanding you increase confindence as well as success. Changing thoughts and perspective will allow you to gain control over old fears and habits. Life experiences, big and small, can leave scars on us which can be labelled as anxiety, depression or trauma. Traumatic events such as accidents, illness, abuse or major loses can create a sense of numbing or shutting down that make it difficult to experience happiness or even relaxation.

Life is full of surprises that are sometimes wrapped in feelings that can truly weigh us down. Whether it's anxiety, depression, life stress, grief or past traumas- those are all curveballs that are unexpected and can make it difficult to believe that we can be in control of anything, especially our own inner peace. Therapy is a courageous journey towards cultivating internal resources that can help you with feeling connected, nurtured, and empowered to embrace change as it comes. As your therapist, it is my mission to take this journey alongside you and give you a safe space to better understand your true self.

I attended Harding University and graduated with my B.A. in Psychology and my M.S. in Counseling. I have 24 years of experience in the mental health field. I primarily treat adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, trama, PTSD, relationship issues, grief, bipolar disorder, and personality disorder. I believe that every client I treat deserves respect and has the ability to empower themselves to meet their individual life goals. I love what I do and I appreciate every client who walks through my door. I have a specialization in grief therapy and trauma.

Through a warm and empathetic environment, I invite clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of interaction, promoting insight and awareness that pave the way for meaningful change. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and I have years of experience working with children, teens, and adults.

Just because you don't know what the answer is doesn't mean there isn't one. I know that the ability to heal is within you. I am here to support you in finding your answers.

As your collaborative partner I will be present to you, as I listen, share my insights and provide you with skills to assist you in healing and growth. Together we will work on your goal of gaining relief from painful symptoms, a sense of empowerment and an improved sense of well-being.

It takes such courage to begin therapy, congratulations on taking the first step! I believe therapy can benefit us all, and I love seeing the positive changes in my client's lives and families as they process trauma, learn new skills and come to understand things in new, healthier ways. I see clients of all ages, but I most enjoy working with teens and tweens, the quirkier and messier the better. Together we can build an alliance that allows them to feel safe and heard, and develop skills that will have life long benefit.

It takes courage to ask for help. As your therapist I will help you become comfortable with increasing your self awareness and learning what you can do to have a more fulfilling life.
