As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside my areas of expertise, I can provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication management, to get you the needed help.

Identity exploration is the heart of transformative therapy. You absolutely deserve to feel grounded in who you are, and it is my privilege to help clients explore the patterns or hardships causing inner turmoil. People often come to me with histories of emotional abuse, difficult upbringings, or toxic romantic relationships. Some feel stuck or alone in their current circumstances, and they want help navigating a tender transition. The introspective nature of therapy can be vulnerable, but the healing is often profound. Wherever you are on your journey, I will strive to help you build a more authentic and meaningful life.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients navigating the difficult path through trauma and stress. Working in partnership with clients, I first seek to understand where they are on that path and how they got there. Then I seek to help people develop a greater awareness of their body’s autonomic reactions to stress, so they are less consumed by their thoughts and emotions, and are able to regain their sense of safety and control.

There is so much going on in our world that it makes it hard to disconnect and focus on you for a change. Self care starts with mental health. Learn how to turn off the noise and get in touch with you again.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Nelson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arkansas with over 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Focused approaches to help my clients work their way out of what is distressing them.

Is your anxiety causing you to miss out on things you would normally enjoy or new opportunities? Do you experience excessive worrying, overthinking, self-doubt, avoidance, irritability/frustration, over eating and find it hard to control your emotions? Do you wish to have more control over your thoughts and behaviors and live a less anxious life? I know first-hand, unmanaged anxiety can make you feel defeated and less confident in yourself. However, I want you to know it's possible to go from surviving to thriving with the right plan in place.

I am Dr. Datonna Higgins and I am so glad you are here! I learned long ago that time does not heal us in and of itself, but rather it's what we do with that time that makes all of the difference. Whether navigating a difficult life transition, loss, relationship struggles, or trying to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction...now will always be the perfect time to start or continue on your journey to healing. Quality and personable mental health treatment should be easily accessible to all, which is why I strive to provide virtual counseling with an in-person feel. Distance counseling should not feel distant!

We all struggle to find balance in the roles we are trying to maintain in our lives. Our past, relationship struggles, motivation, anxiety and depression can all complicate our attempts to navigate how to be the best version of ourselves. Many of us "know" what to do, but have not successfully identified ways to manifest that into action. While we cannot change the things we have experienced, or the behavior of those around us, we can identify successful ways to approach our difficulties. A part of moving forward can be gaining more awareness of the mind/body connection and exploring insight and behaviors to make lasting change.

I am eager to help adults, children, and families create positive change in their lives and relationships and want to assist people in growing into who they want to be through overcoming anxiety, depression, and trauma. Lives and relationships can be truly enhanced through facing these obstacles, and no one should have to face them alone. I have experience with adults with intellectual disabilities, very young children and their families, and adults and children across a range of populations. I have worked in outpatient, day treatment, and acute care settings and understand the broad scope of mental health treatment needs.

We are a mobile clinic that brings therapy to your child’s school, daycare, or your doorstep! Our clinic is credentialed in multiple private and state insurances and service two states (Oklahoma and Arkansas).

I am licensed in Arkansas and Arizona and offer telehealth as well as in-person sessions at my Arizona clinic. My therapy style is encouraging and motivational. I focus mostly on person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy, paired with solution-focused, allowing every client to see their situation in a different light, and understand how thoughts and feelings play a role in status and outcome. I have year-long ties to the military and law enforcement. My clients are very close to my heart, and I pride myself on being invited into their lives, and walking alongside them as an encouraging and supportive ally.

I help clients find a greater sense of themselves by helping them to become more aware of their own human nature. I aim to empower clients to become clear about their goals and how to achieve them. Clients can hope to gain greater understanding and respect for their own inner ability to find resolution. In counseling, people feel supported while working through real and perceived barriers at their own pace. I believe each of us has the wisdom we seek within ourselves; the key is to access that wisdom and to believe in it.

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

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.
