Therapists in Harrison, AR

I am a licensed clinical therapist with experience working in a variety of settings and a range of issues, including depression and anxiety, grief, self esteem, life transitions, and chronic illness. My approach is non-judgmental, collaborative, and kind. My goal is to provide a supportive space for self exploration in order to help clients experience more meaningful and fulfilling lives. I focus on self-understanding, self-acceptance, authenticity, and resilience.

I am a native of NWA, and graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Master of Social Work Degree. I entered the mental health field where I have worked with clients of all ages in a variety of settings including therapeutic day treatment, inpatient treatment, integrated behavioral health, and a healthcare clinic. I firmly believe that mental health challenges should not define a person’s worth, and that all individuals are capable and worthy of a positive quality of life.

We believe there is hope and positive change possible for each individual and family. Through faith-based counseling, we strive to empower clients to find Peace of Mind, knowing that many individual and family burdens can be relieved through the collaborative relationship working with a trained counselor. Our team has worked to obtain certificates in trauma assessment & interventions as well as acute stress, grief, loss, complex trauma, relational issues, religious wounding, substance abuse and crisis. These extra trainings have included specific measures that are necessary for work with the veteran and active military community.

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.

The human experience can be challenging at times, but can also be beautiful and meaningful. Learning that both are normal parts of the journey can be empowering and allow one to reach our dreams and goals by overcoming the blocks and pain that keep us from reaching those dreams. We can learn to grow through pain, enjoy moments of pure joy and build community. I am a Licensed Masters Social Work, Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Equine Therapist and Certified Thanatologist along with EMDR training. I have worked with a wide variety of clients over the course of my 23-year career.

I have experience and enjoy working with adolescents and adults of different ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment, and stress.

I believe that we are the storytellers of our lives. Along the way, we may get lost due to hardship, trauma, loss, and the disconnection from our core values. In my work as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping you rewrite your story from a place of compassion, empowerment, curiosity, and acceptance. Sometimes we need to reset or rediscover our internal compass, and I would be honored to help you find your way on your path to healing and contentment.

I am an LCSW (Licensed Certified Social Worker) who is passionate about creating meaningful connections and therapeutic bonds with my clients. I firmly believe that sometimes, this connection serves as the primary source of encouragement, praise, or a sense of safety in an individual's life. I consider it a privilege to offer this to my clients, helping them perceive the world from fresh perspectives. My goal is to empower you to stand up for yourself, recognize your strengths, needs, desires, and aspirations, and work collaboratively to help you achieve them, ultimately becoming the best version of yourself.

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!

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.

Winter and holidays are upon us, a challenging time for many. Are you successful in all the ways the world values but struggling to find love and peace internally? Do you sacrifice yourself and neglect your own needs? Do you have a quiet knowing that some vital part of you is drying up? My clients are sensitive, feeling, intuitive adults interested in doing their ‘inner work.' Distress wears many faces (eg., anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, depression, relationship problems) and tries to relieve itself in many ways (eg., substance use, work, caretaking others). I guide my clients on the worthy quest of coming back to themselves.

It takes courage to ask for help. As your therapist I will help you become comfortable with increasing your self awareness and learning what you can do to have a more fulfilling life. We will work together to develop plan to work on what you decide is the issue. You will learn to have better connection with yourself and others. I have been helping people for over 10 years and have worked in a variety of settings which equips me to be able to help with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, trauma, grief, addiction issues and sexually maladaptive behaviors.

Life doesn’t come with a set of instructions. Sometimes we find that what we are doing is no longer working in the way we want it to. We may find ourselves experiencing work problems, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, difficulties reaching goals, issues with parenting, grief, or just feeling like life isn’t what we want it to be. I help clients identify and build on their current strengths, while identifying ways to strengthen and build on areas that may be more challenging. It is my intention to create a safe space for clients to process their experiences, share their challenges, and find the best path forward.

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.
