Therapists in Arkansas

Life can be rough at times. As we age into adulthood; burdens, chores, and responsibilities grow and may become overwhelming if we don’t manage our own self-care and coping skills. Many individuals are weighed down with too many responsibilities and heavy experiences too early in life, which has not allowed a chance to know who you really are or what direction you see for yourself. It may even have set you on a course quite far from where you’d actually like to be. In this darkness, I believe it can be a reminder of where our light can be.

Hi, my name is Desirae Barnes, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have an eclectic approach to therapy to serve a variety of client needs. My area of focus is anxiety, depression, ADHD, and anger management. I work with clients who need assistance with emotional regulation including, anxiety, depression, bipolar, anger management, and ADHD. I like to incorporate a warm and judgment-free environment where my clients express themselves freely. My approach is to utilize strength and empowerment to assist my clients in reaching their goals.

I believe that we are all equipped with an inner guidance system that pushes us to grow anytime we are out of alignment with our highest selves. Oftentimes, this guidance comes in the form of pain or emotional discomfort. Many of us may identify this pain as depression or anxiety symptoms, feelings of inadequacy, low-self-esteem, grief, anger, fear, or hopelessness. The ways in which we respond to our pain has tremendous implications for future healing and overall quality of life. Action is necessary in order to create change. If you have arrived at this page then you have already begun taking action to improve your circumstances.
