Healthy sexuality is our objective in sexual addiction. Sex is an integral and balanced part of life experience. Sexual behaviors become problematic when they violate vows and values, are dishonest, harmful to others, put you at risk, diminishes your joy in life, act as a barrier filled with shame, self-contempt, and isolation. Sexual health creates intimacy and closeness, characterized by trust, respect, joy and safety. Sexual health can be achieved by sex addicts in recovery. The trauma and addiction model identifies the trauma and internal system that underwrites addiction and does not view problematic behavior as moral failure.

My name is Denniese Dysart and my goal is to provide a casual and welcoming atmosphere while assisting you to find your own path in personal discovery and wellness. On this course I will help you identify and cope more effectively with problems in daily living and to deal with inner conflicts which may disrupt your ability to function effectively. A very important aspect of counseling is the relationship that builds between the client and the counselor. This may be the only time and place where you can take front and center stage, be actually “heard”, and be in the presence of someone who is non-judgmental.

How awesome would it be to be able to start going after your goals and feel good about yourself? We have to work hard to find our voice and to be able to stand up for ourselves- both to other people and to ourselves. As Ze Frank said in his Human Test TED talk, “Did you ever realize that you can be a real a**hole to yourself?” Let's get your stress under control. Let's learn ways to establish balance in your life and work on your self worth. We will learn strategies that help you take control of the daily grind and get your stress under control. We'll also learn skills to help you manage anxiety and the relationships in your life.

Are you someone who likes to help or care for others? I love to "help the helper." I have a special interest in working with those in the helping professions, including (but not limited to) teachers, therapists, and medical professionals. Unfortunately, those who strive to care for or help others often fall short with their own self-care.

"Currently offering sessions via Telehealth/online as we navigate this new terrain together." Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and relationships like a constant struggle. We have a knowledge that it wasn’t meant to be this way and feel compelled to take the first steps toward wholeness but sometimes don’t know where to begin. Through compassion and empathy, I partner with clients to begin their healing journey. I seek first to understand their story, providing a safe and secure place to process the pain. It is my core belief that no problem is too messy and no challenging situation is without hope.

My practice is client centered, directed at meeting a person exactly where they are at on their current journey. It is a strength based approach and I am committed to cultivating and highlighting the resources one has within themselves to increase resiliency, balance, and joy.

I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns. My clinical specialties and interests include disordered eating, body image, obesity and weight loss, LGBTQ, gender identity, phase of life transitions, grief/loss, relationships, assertive communication, issues related to trauma/adverse life experiences, holistic health and wellness, self-compassion, and promoting self-awareness and insight. My background includes significant experience in the delivery of behavioral health care including individual psychotherapy and inpatient, intensive-outpatient, and outpatient groups. In addition to my experience with psychotherapy services, I also complete psychological assessments, provide supervision to pre-doctoral psychology interns, and consultation services.

I work primarily with adults and married couples. I have recently been trained in EMDR therapy to help those who have experienced trauma. I have worked extensively with couples in crisis. I also have expertise in working with people coming out of abusive relationships. I have helped clients in developing a sense of identity, boundaries, self-care, and holistic well-being. I have helped people work through processes of forgiveness, grief, eating disorder and addictions recovery, and abuse and trauma healing. Clients have expressed that I create a safe place and share practical tools toward change.

I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach the clients treatment goals. Each client is unique and different, and I adjust according to the clients needs. I work well with clients who are ready to do the work to heal and grow. The client and I are active throughout the counseling process. I have found that this process is a journey towards healing and thriving in all areas of life. Many of my clients have found themselves stuck in life. I help clients find what is keeping them stuck and develop the skills to overcome these barriers so they might heal and grow.

*****Currently Creating a Wait List for New Clients***** "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." C.S. Lewis We all have a story. Right now, maybe you're in a trying chapter with no end in sight. Is there an ongoing (or recent) theme in your story that upsets you, that you can't seem to resolve? * Conflict in relationships * Deep disappointment with others or yourself * Worry and stress with sleep disturbance * Difficulty thinking or making decisions * Profound sadness or apathy * A struggle to get out of bed *

I'm curious. Are you reading this because you notice you're stuck, feel off or someone said "go to therapy and get _ fixed?" So now you're scrolling through therapists, thinking "which one should I choose? What should I expect? Will others think I'm defective? Will they focus on meds? Can I trust them? What can talking do for me?!" Ok, so let me challenge you. Pick up the phone. Type a quick email. Just take ONE LITTLE STEP and invest in YOU. Together we will find out WHY you act/feel the way you do, WHAT you need to feel differently, and HOW to get it - so you can live a happier, more satisfying life! ONE STEP!

My goals are to provide a safe space and place of acceptance to my clients. I also work to help them reach empowerment to make positive changes in their lives. I believe in the abilities people hold inside and find it important to validate their experience. Looking for help on our journey in life is a sign of real strength. The therapeutic process leads one to adapt, transform, accept, and grow within oneself.

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Logan and I am a Supervised Marriage and Family Therapist (SMFT). Although, providing therapy and counseling services came as a second career for me, I have fallen in love with this profession. My first love, besides my family, is Nursing. I have been in the medical field for 19 years and an LPN for 13 of those amazing years. As a graduate of Arkansas State University, (2007), my first priority in the office is making sure you feel healthy and safe.

That elephant in the room – it just continues to stand there staring at you. Days pass and you keep noticing, but don’t do anything about it. You know you need to make some changes, but it’s really a lot easier to just ignore what’s right in front of you. Until, your partner complains again that you’re not listening, you’re always on your phone, you don’t spend time together. While the memories of your past blowups stare you in the face, and sadness overcomes you, you decide you can’t keep living with the sense of disconnect that has grown between you. You need someone else’s help to solve your problems.

Thriving relationships, healthy adult communication, and good boundaries are common topics at my office. Are you looking for help on any of these issues? I offer services for both individuals and couples. Did you know that everyone struggles with communicating to their partner sometimes? And everyone has those annoying disagreements with their partner that keep coming up? Did you also know that there has been a lot of research done identifying how to have a more helpful conversation with your partner? That's what I do; I help couples to to feel better after a disagreement instead of feeling worse and more disconnected.

I believe in a confidential, non-judgmental, relationship-centered counseling environment where individuals, families, and couples can openly and safely discuss their thoughts and feelings. Each client is treated with respect and supported to gain greater self-understanding and self-awareness. The client is at the center of therapy and determines the direction of therapy. I present different perspectives and ideas and help the client identify and develop their own ways to resolve blocks to personal growth and to improve communication and the relationships in their lives.

Belief: life is comprised of a multitude of experiences each shaping who we are and how we engage in the world around us. We have the ability to re-evaluate and transform difficult or traumatic experiences into something new; creating a more whole self. This takes work, a desire to self-reflect, and at times, move toward change.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.Deep down, you know you are capable of becoming who you want to be, yet you may feel "stuck" or unsure of how to move forward. Perhaps you are overwhelmed, anxious, or dealing with self-doubt. You might be someone who cares deeply about people & is highly perceptive to the feelings of others, but often sacrifice your own needs in the process. It could be that you view yourself as a "people-pleaser" and want to set healthy boundaries. Maybe you are trying to cope with life's demands in the midst of feeling depressed or broken-hearted. Whatever it is you are facing, you are not alone & I am glad you're here.
