Therapists in Arkansas

Life can be messy and complicated, and finding a therapist to trust and connect with can seem extremely daunting. If you are seeking a retreat from the storms of your life, I would love to help you. I bring my non-judgmental, down-to-earth style to every session, and have a special passion for work with the LGBTQ+ community and people with dual diagnosis, substance use and mental heath. I have experience treating those with depression, PTSD/trauma response, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, divorce, work stress, relationship issues and anyone recently discharged from psychiatric hospitalization.

I have also done a lot of work with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, managing boundaries, tolerating distress, & coping with emotions.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (P1608105) with the state of Arkansas. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the field as a case manager assisting clients to meet their therapeutic goals set by their assigned therapist and linking them to needed services. I have always believed that the only way we can evoke any type of changes within our lives is to acknowledge them and place those issues on the table in order to fully address them. As one begins to mold and change their way of thinking (irrational thoughts), their behaviors begin change as well.

Hello my name is Derek Spiegel and I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor [LPC] in the field for over 20 years. Life is full of endless possibilities for each one of us. Coupled with the possibilities there are "things" that happen in our journey that we are not ready for. My Great Grandmother Rosie was one of the most influential people in my life. When she passed I didn't want to face the sadness. However I found restoration and healing in the storm of my life. Let me help you find shelter from the storms of your life.

It can be really tough to reach out and make that first step in seeking a better quality of life. Everyone needs someone in their corner, whether it be to listen or provide an unbiased perspective to work towards positive life changes. Maybe it's needing someone that doesn't judge you, knowing that, here, you are accepted for exactly who you are. Here, you get to let that out and work on being you in all areas of your life.

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.

Big, small, chosen, or outside of our control - life is full of things that require us to adjust and adapt. Our success in life can often be determined by our ability to navigate its changes, show resilience during its most overwhelming moments, and not lose our belief in ourselves. As your therapist, I will give you tools you can use to reach your goals, as well as cheer you on and you overcome the hurdles. You've already taken a huge step by making it this far. Let me help you take the next step. From one overcomer to another, you've got this!

Intimacy/Sexual issues can be difficult to discuss and people are reluctant. In fact, many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy/lack of fulfillment in relation to their sexual experience. Sexual dysfunctions affect both men and women. My desire is to help people struggling with sexual problems and to help people live a more fulfilled intimacy/sexual life. I provide a non-judgmental place for people to safely articulate their concerns. I will help you figure out what is causing these struggles and help resolve them. In addition to sexual issues, I also work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD and other issues.

I’m glad you are looking for someone to talk to! Maybe you are experiencing major life changes, struggling with depression or anxiety, dealing with trauma or relationship wounds, or just feeling stuck or in “auto-pilot” mode. Whatever is bringing you to therapy, I want to reassure you that I am ready to sit with you, listen with my whole heart, and help you work towards the goals you have (and you decide those). Together we will work to forge a path of more peace, connection, and fulfillment with yourself and in your life. I believe we all need a space to process life and I am honored to get to be a part of that healing process.
