Transgender Therapists in Arkansas

I work with individuals who have experienced relational trauma and dysfunctional family systems. These experiences can range from emotional neglect in childhood to domestic abuse in a relationship. Often, individuals with these experiences struggle with asking for what they want, sharing how they are feeling, and saying no. They may find themselves doing anything they can to escape the present moment, whether that be chronic busyness or binging your favorite TV show. They struggle with maintaining healthy relationships, either from attaching too quickly or not attaching at all. Sometimes, their relationship just doesn't feel right.

I focus on relationship/couples work. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, & families overcome obstacles and hardships that are throwing life off course. I believe that the most successful therapy occurs when you are truly ready for change and I applaud you for being brave enough to take the first steps towards that change. Therapy can seem scary , but the right connection with the right therapist will make it a rewarding experience. I offer nonjudgemental and safe therapy. I believe that trust between therapist and client is the foundation of a good therapeutic experience. Follow me on IG @therapylauren.

You are not what you have done; You are what you overcome. Help is available. Asking for it is one of the strongest things you can do.

With 20 years of experience working in the helping profession with children, adolescents, families and adults and the last 11 years serving as a licensed professional counselor, I am able to accurately and effectively evaluate and treat most issues arising within each of these groups and across multiple settings. I have a Master of Science degree and a Specialist in Education degree in Professional Counseling. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral, and Experiential Therapy approaches when working with individuals and families.

I have extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My background has allowed me to work with a diverse range of needs, but traumatic stress is my primary focus. When working with children, I implement a child-centered and family-focused approach to help the child heal but also to support caregivers and to help the family grow closer together through the healing process. I also enjoy working with couples who want to learn together and grow closer. I am affirmative of LGBTQ and cultural minority clients. I fully embrace the opportunity to contribute towards societal change that is long overdue.

After 14 years of providing caring and professional counseling services to families, children, teens, and young adults from all walks of life in NWA, I have developed a reality based approach to counseling that emphasizes self care, non-blaming language, and creativity. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find greater satisfaction and fulfillment through richer relationships, enhanced self-confidence, and a well-balanced life. I strive to provide quality support in a non-judgmental setting by working with clients to create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet each person's unique and individualized needs.

Welcome to my webpage! I’m a family systems oriented therapist and my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hello! I'm Caitlin and I'm here to help. I am a licensed clinical therapist with a focus in treating anxiety disorders, depression, autism spectrum disorder, maternal mental health, and healthcare professionals.

At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us, when life seems hard or complicated. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and, above all, genuine. I use a holistic/integrative therapy approach; in order to tailor treatment to each client's needs, I tend to pull from various tenets and modalities of evidence-based therapies. I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and understand the mind-body connection; I am also trained in EMDR for trauma treatment.

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.

Hello and welcome! I'm Heather Vinti, licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and PhD in Public Health. In addition to my years of research in sexual health, I have received advanced training specifically in Sexual Health and Sex Therapy, as well as Gottman Method Couples Therapy. All of this put together allows me to take a systemic view and connection-based approach to working with clients. I provide a non-judgmental, accepting, validating space for clients to be themselves and explore the ways in which they want to grow and heal.

Do you ever experience having thoughts, images, or memories stuck in your head? Sometimes you may even experience reactions in your body, such as: heart beating fast, pressure in your chest, or a rock in your stomach. Sometimes people even feel like they are going numb. You do not have to live this way, there is a solution. Often, we manage things effectively, but occasionally we experience life events that can be disturbing to our system. Most of the time, our brain can digest the situations we encounter. However, sometimes those skills that have worked in the past are no longer helping.

Creating change is about embracing your future, not beating yourself (or others) up over the past. As a therapist, I focus on helping you figure out what "better" looks like and identifying the quickest route to get us there. Once we have that identified, I'll act as counselor, coach and traveling companion as you journey down that road. I'll be a fresh set of eyes that helps you figure out when you're being too hard on yourself and when you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

Are you looking to find balance in your life...starting to reach your breaking point...feel like you've tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to be working? It can be scary and frustrating when you've done so much to try to feel better, but find yourself in the same place wondering, "Why am I stuck?"
