Therapists in Arkansas

Being a safe place to process feelings is a vital role that we can play in each other's lives. In a world where emotions often go unacknowledged or even dismissed, offering a safe space for someone to express and explore their feelings can be a transformative experience. It requires genuine empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental attitude. Creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts and emotions can cultivate healing, growth, and resilience. Kailee’s goal is to cultivate this space of safety, nonjudgement, growth, healing, self-acceptance, and above all, hope.

Neurodiversity is more common than you might think. Roughly 15-20% of the world's population experiences neruodivergence; however, there is still not enough support for neurodivergent individuals.

In addition, she has experience working with clients with anxiety, trauma, sleep disturbances, depression, grief and loss, relational concerns and behavioral issues. Charis enjoys working with adolescents, teens and adults and is trained in EMDR, TheraPlay, DBT, and TF-CBT.

Life can be challenging, and uncertain at times. Whether it's transitions in life, anxiety, depression, parental conflicts, child conflicts, traumatic experiences, abuse, behavioral adjustments, or grief/loss. You and your family can overcome the hardships of life and things that just don't make sense; by working together through difficult emotions and living life as you were meant to live. 2024 is here and good things can happen for you this year!

Are you looking for more out of this life? Anxiety hits all of us differently. ADHD, OCD, addiction, and grief are just a few sources of anxiety that can get in the way. I specialize in helping detangle you from your anxiety, and help people walk away with skills to experience calm and peace. My clients often set goals and achieve them with the right support. I offer EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) for clients who continue to have PTSD-like symptoms after traumatic event(s). It is an honor to walk alongside those who have been stuck, and help free them from what has kept them captive.

I am passionate about providing a safe place for my clients to be heard and seen. It can be hard talking about your insecurities, fears, trauma, and processing emotions. It is a privileged to walk beside my client's through their journey. I work with adults and children who deal with anxiety, depression, impulse control, grief, family issues, have witnessed or been a victim of abuse, and struggle with behavioral issues. I work with adults on their attachment style to work on building a more secure attachment in their relationships.

I believe in the concept that people can not start from where they want to be, but have to begin their journey from where they are. We as people go through many challenges in our lives.  Sometimes we find ourselves struggling day to day, having to somehow meet all our ever-growing responsibilities. Some of us struggle with the pain we carry from our pasts, and it can feel as if this hurt is holding us back from finding joy in our present days. Some of us struggle with feelings we may not even understand.  We can feel burdened by these intense feelings and may not know how to move forward from these emotional and mental binds.

I am a caring counselor with 15 years of experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds. I have helped kids through life changes such as their parents’ divorce or the loss of a loved one, all types of anxiety, and behavioral concerns such as anger management and ADHD. Treating the child with respect and dignity and meeting them where they are are the heart of my practice. I use play, bibliotherapy, and expressive arts to connect with your child, help them share their thoughts and feelings, and explore coping skills that work for them. Take that first step on behalf of your child. Call and set up an appointment with me.

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 currently have a waitlist for new patients. I am pleased to be part of a practice that specializes in neurodivergence, something near and dear to my heart and own lived experience.

Therapy to me is collaborating with you to help you find ways to enjoy life more and feel encouraged to make changes, even when change is often so intimidating.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image, anger, relationships, life changes -- all of these issues are part of the human condition. But to resolve these needs alone can be a very difficult journey. I have many years of counseling experience helping others to have a better understanding of their problems and how to best move forward to find some answers. Most individuals need to be heard and understood by an unbiased person. They need relief from the painful issues at hand. I've continued to receive training to keep up-to-date on the latest strategies, but it's my belief that developing a trusting, caring relationship is essential.

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.
