Depression Therapists in Arkansas

My ideal client is one that shows up and is willing to risk being vulnerable with me, a stranger. Perhaps their life hasn't gone the way they had planned and are greatly troubled by this, and/or they suffer with anxiety, depression, family of origin wounds, or something they can't define. Perhaps the client has experienced (or is currently experiencing) spiritual abuse, and wants to process it AND keep their faith. Regardless, they want to be free from whatever has them bound and be happy again. We weren't mean to carry these burdens.

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.

The COVID-19 Virus has changed the way many of us go about our daily lives. For social distancing purposes, I am offering sessions via Skype or FaceTime in addition to very limited office sessions.

I work with adults over the age of 18, individuals, couples, and families. My multi-faceted approach has helped provide insight, support and new strategies for all types of life challenges.

My name is Elizabeth Truax and I go by Leanne. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in central Arkansas. My approach to therapy is person-centered and focused on providing my clients with the support, care, and tools needed to find relief from emotional pain. I specialize in working with adults experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, as well as communication and relationship issues. I firmly believe therapy can help everyone.

Understanding yourself, your personality structure, and the world around you is a great asset. It allows you to clearly articulate your values and to set a life-course oriented toward what brings you meaning and fulfillment.

Clinical psychology uses the scientific understanding of behavior and mental health difficulties as the basis for strategic guidance in helping you overcome clinical and life issues.

I have worked with a wide range of people on a number of different issues. The majority has been depression and anxiety, but I have helped people with various mental health challenges that people face.

In seeking out therapy, for most people, there is a fear of engaging in it. A person that is able to start, participate, and finish therapy are brave people.
