Therapists in Arkansas

Are you a parent, grandparent or guardian raising a child who is experiencing difficulties in life? Do you feel at a loss to help your child right now? Do you want to find a way to help your child with the pain and suffering he or she is going through? Has your child experienced a loss recently? A big transition in life (going to a new school, moving, a divorce in the family, addition of a sibling, loss of a loved one, medical issues in the family, etc.)? Is your child experiencing behavior problems in school or at home? Is he or she acting differently all of a sudden? Is your teen confused and searching for his or her true identity?

I provide holistic and integrative mental health. I believe that therapy offers a unique opportunity for intensive emotional and intellectual growth so that one can be better equipped to lead a more productive and fulfilling life. An individual can begin to consider one's life from a different point of view by attaching new meaning to his/her past, explore new avenues for reaching life goals, decrease painful feelings and increase their ability to cope with life's stressors. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and its influence in creating positive change.

Somewhere, deep down, you already have the ability to heal yourself and grow; let me help you find it and keep it. I am committed to helping you create a life where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My mission is to provide individuals with a safe, respectful and non-judgmental environment where they can feel comfortable exploring a preferred way of life. I use a relational approach to treatment and integrate Somatic Experiencing® techniques as well as Brainspotting into my client's care. Let me help you discover your strengths and resources so that you can be empowered to live a more fulfilling life.

As a therapist I strive to be a steady source of knowledge, compassion, resources & support in your journey towards deep healing and positive change. I use research-based modalities & time-tested wisdom to empower and educate my clients. I take seriously my role in a client's life. Because of this I am always seeking knowledge. I am a certified Holistic Sex Therapist, certified Couples Institute therapist, Yoga Instructor, & pull from Internal Family Systems, Jungian Psychology, mindfulness-based stress reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Schema Therapy.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults work through personal struggles that cause functional impairments. I utilize a holistic therapy approach focusing on each individual's emotional, relational, and physical needs. This modality helps to inspire and guide clients to change towards a healthier and more balanced life so that they can thrive. A key component to my practice is developing a compassionate and authentic therapeutic relationship with those I work with. Therapy is a safe place where I hope to assist you in exploring the past, creating peace in the present, and developing hope for the future.

I'm Kimberly Davis, LPC, NCC. I help adults and teens cope with the pressures and demands of daily life and relationships. I'm conveniently located on College Ave in Fayetteville. My psychotherapy is often focused on strengthening relationships with loved ones. Adult clients with children ages 3 to 11 can benefit greatly. Clients enhance their decision making skills, assertive communication, self responsibility, empathy, self-esteem, conflict resolution skills, and self-efficacy. Struggling college students can benefit from my counseling services. Significant life change can upset your sleep, work, school, family, and/or social connections. Receive help.

Traditional talk therapy isn't a fit for everyone. If you're in search of a more balanced and fulfilling life, and have faced challenges with therapy before, my experiential, nature-based approach could be the solution.

I have an affinity for working with individuals grappling with generalized anxiety, depression, and trauma. Perhaps you are exhausted of living a life limited by worry, shame or guilt and struggle with loneliness. You may be new to therapy or a returning client needing assistance navigating life transitions or seasons. You may even need help forming healthier and positive relationships. Together we can help you reach your desired life by helping you unpack the weight you've been carrying. My goal is to provide an inviting space you can make your own and gently guide you to the direction you desire in your life.

I am always eager to learn and willing to explore new interventions and modalities to best serve my clients. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and elders focusing on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, social emotional skills, disruptive behaviors, stressors related to stages of life, and trauma.

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.

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.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients attain their personal goals that lead to improvement in their quality of life. I provide a warm, safe, and confident environment to foster positive change. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities that include Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Processing, Trauma-Focused, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Attachment Theory, Theraplay Principles, and Brainspotting. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker in the state of Arkansas. I have served various positions in the mental health field since 2009 and have been a licensed therapist since 2013.

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.

At Growing Hope Counseling, we love helping you recognize & develop your strengths, improve your relationships, and resolve situations or issues that may be hurting you or your loved ones. Our providers' wealth of clinical experience and life experience combined with clinical training & expertise give us a deeper understanding of your needs and how to best help you. Building a comforting and encouraging therapeutic relationship with you with respect, compassion, and a down-to-earth approach is our foundation for helping you and/or your loved ones achieve positive growth and change.

For many years my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most of them also struggled with other accompanying factors like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to more of a community-based population. I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal, postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma to name a few.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents and I tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I can assist people of all ages in managing stressors, anxiety, depression and overcoming trauma, however my true passion is providing play therapy to children. I recognize the significance of building a strong connection with my clients and aim to provide them with a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore their emotions and experiences.

My ideal client is an individual looking to better themselves by dealing with situations which are preventing them from living their lives the way they truly want. Given my background, individuals between the ages of 13 - 70 would be the ideal clients, although I have worked out of this age range. I am best suited to treat issues dealing with PTSD, Peer pressure, Sleep Disorders, Dissociative Disorders, Impulse Control Disorders, Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, and Psychosexual Disorders. I am very flexible on payment for services.

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.

Life can be so hard and it seems that, too often, we are all just trying to survive. Each and every one of us were made to do more than that, though. I hope to be a support in helping you and your family be able to work through the hard parts and help you thrive by providing a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore your emotions and your experiences. I am honored and humbled to get to be a part of this journey with each and every one of you.
