Therapists in Arkansas

Life can be challenging at times and you may want to make changes. It can be difficult to reach out or even know where to start sometimes. You are not alone and do not have to face the things you are going through by yourself. I am here to listen, understand, and work with you. By helping you address the struggles and pain you are dealing with, learning skills that cater to your strengths, and identifying what gives your life meaning and purpose, the process of healing can have lasting and life changing benefits. I utilize a holistic approach to help with finding what works for you, your relationships, or your family.

Are you struggling with an unexpected life event or difficult transition? Is that preventing you from reaching your own goals? I can help. Counseling is not an easy path, but neither is staying stuck in distress or unhealthy patterns. I’m a licensed mental health therapist with plenty of experience working with individuals, families, and couples that have grappled with hard transitions. I work with my clients to provide a safe, comfortable environment for them to explore their options authentically. I help clients expand their strengths into other dimensions of life while working towards client identified goals and objectives.

Struggling with Anxiety? Grief? Seeking Premarital Counseling or Married dealing with challenges or an affair? Just want to grow as a person and realize your value as a person? At your wits end concerning a problem with your child? Have you tried everything with your child and nothing has worked? I can help. I specialize in helping individuals and families with over 22 years of experience. Personal growth, Anxiety, relationship issues, grief, children not listening, give me a call. Christian Counseling is on the menu for those interested but only "order" it if it's a fit for you.

I like to think I have a unique skill set coupled with life experience that equips me to be a dynamic therapist. I served as a Marine in the military, spent 20 years working in the pathology field looking at healing the body and now work with clients from 5 years to older adult healing the mind. Therapy is difficult to navigate and can feel messy for the whole system (friends, family, work, school, and more). I value your experience and how that has shaped core beliefs. Because we have these core beliefs, doesn't make them true. Let's assign new rules to these beliefs and heal the system as a whole both in body and mind.

Obliterate your life hurdles with practical and efficient modalities! I have 4 Master's degrees and a plethora of certifications to help you defeat your inner enemies. I am recognized in Arkansas as a specialist in Alcohol and Drug Counseling, so I understand the evils of addiction and how to treat it. Internationally, I'm a fully certified Hypnotherapist (CHt), qualified in delivering deeply transformative interventions. My most-used approach is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), which has demonstrated strong efficacy for numerous categories...anxiety/PTSD, bipolar, ADHD, feeling stuck, etc. Begin your journey towards wellness!

I have found adversity and peace in my lifetime, so I know struggles are real – but people can overcome! I became a counselor to help others do just that. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have substance use and/or other mental health disorders (co-occurring disorders). I practice client centered and client driven counseling. I use a variety of approaches with emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also provide supervision to counselors in training to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and/or a Licensed Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC) in the state of Arkansas.

If you are in a crisis or life storm, and left feeling helpless, hopeless, or disappointed; there is HOPE. No matter what stage of life you are going through, or how scary the feelings and situations can be, brainspotting can help. I have been trained in brainspotting and have seen firsthand the healing it can bring. Our brains our powerful and unique, but often store unfinished business and unprocessed trauma which leaves emotional scars inside or even physical pain. But with this approach, you can leave feeling relieved and hopeful with quick responses.

People choose to enter therapy for many reasons, but ultimately the reason for most people is that we want to feel better. Suffering may be an inescapable part of being human, but that's not all there is. When people are given a compassionate space where they can be open and vulnerable, they discover insights and strengths that can help them approach life with a new perspective and make healthy changes.

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 am a well experienced therapist and enjoy working with adults on a wide variety of concerns. I work with adults of any age who seek their niche personally and their comfort zone in relationships.

Love and Connection in life should not be confusing. But there is always a risk when it comes to getting those two critical human relational needs. Many times relationships feel like a dance, and feeling lost with no road map. It can often turn into division or discomfort, but does it always have to be that way? Emotionally Focused Therapy is a proven, evidence-based method that enhances couples' ability to gain Love and Connection through safety and security. And I would love to be that resource, coach, advocate to help partners sustain longevity in their relationship without leading to isolation or further hurt.

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.
