Therapists in Arkansas

At the Healing Circle Relationship Wellness Center, we provide counseling services to help couples, individuals, and families on their journey to a healthy and fulfilling relationship. We understand the unique challenges that can arise in relationships and strive to create an environment of understanding and support. Whether you are looking to improve communication, learn to negotiate conflict, or just have a safe place to unpack your thoughts and feelings, we are here to help.

I specialize in three types of clients - couples hanging on by a thread, men who are less than thrilled at the idea of attending therapy, and individuals that live under a constant state of performance pressure. As someone who has lived and survived all three of these scenarios personally, I've got a ton of empathy and a box of tools ready for people motivated to achieve change. Whether you're picking up the pieces from infidelity, exhausted from fighting about the same tired topics, or struggling to escape the voices in your head that beat you down, I'm honored to pull up a chair next you and begin sorting through the mess.

Bio video on my website! I served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. before finding my new calling and love; therapy. We are not meant to do life alone, and times of struggle can be painful illustrations of that. By the time you decide to seek out therapy, you have likely been white-knuckling the steering wheel of life for some time, adapting in the only ways you know. When you walk into my office, please know the courage it took to get here is not lost on me.

I focus on relationship/couples work. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, & families overcome obstacles and hardships that are throwing life off course. I believe that the most successful therapy occurs when you are truly ready for change and I applaud you for being brave enough to take the first steps towards that change. Therapy can seem scary , but the right connection with the right therapist will make it a rewarding experience. I offer nonjudgemental and safe therapy. I believe that trust between therapist and client is the foundation of a good therapeutic experience. Follow me on IG @therapylauren.

Many times disruptions in life occur because we are out of alignment with our purpose, our people or our passion. Life transitions (chronic health diagnosis, aging parents, launching children into college and life, for example) create stress that mis-aligns our emotional well-being and we sometimes resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms that only exacerbate our dis-ease with life both present and future. I utilize a person-centered approach and will meet you where you are to address issues of your concern.

Vineyard Counseling is a practice located in Northwest Arkansas that operates from a faith-based perspective while employing clinical theory and techniques to serve clients. Whether it is marital or family conflict, depression or anxiety, my hope for clients is that they not merely see their life experiences and struggles as problems to be "fixed", but as a process of being changed in the innermost dimensions of the heart. My hope is for biblical wisdom and clinical expertise guide the counseling process.

Much of my work involves helping men and women who have found themselves in the grip of depression, anxiety, spiritual turmoil or are experiencing a loss of their sense of self. I'm an advocate for building emotional intelligence and helping others recover from the effects of toxic or emotionally manipulative relationships. Issues including church hurt, divorce recovery, infidelity, grief and loss, personality disorders and co-dependency are just a few more to name. Regardless the issue, I am drawn to understanding what true healing looks like for you. Are you actively healing or is the pain less because your triggers are absent?

I attended Harding University and graduated with my B.A. in Psychology and my M.S. in Counseling. I have 24 years of experience in the mental health field.

I am intentional in meeting each client where they are at, and use a collaborative approach to work toward clients' goals. I work with clients in person and throughout Arkansas via Telehealth.

Experience in overcoming infidelity, emotional trauma, intimacy, blended families, premarital, dating, cohabitation and divorce issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, self esteem, compulsions. The two best predictors of client's success are a client's motivation and the relationship you and your therapist create, regardless of theory used. Might I be the right counselor for you? Deciding to participate in counseling is a journey of self discovery and a sign of courage and strength.

Life isn't always easy and our expectations are often different than we imagined. I help couples, pre-marital couples & individuals in many of these life circumstances, such as infidelity, trauma, depression, anxiety, also feeling like you are not good enough, not worthy.

It is based on my years of experience working with couples to create a more healthy and happy existence.

At times it gets hard to navigate life; having to deal with sadness, fear, anxiety, anger, betrayal, trauma, abuse, and the list goes on. Maybe you need moral support, strategies to make decisions, solve problems, or resolve conflict. What do you think about gaining tools, being informed, and making sustained change? It is my pleasure to serve individuals, groups, and families by providing a listening ear and life changing interventions during your therapeutic process. Nervous? Don't know what to expect? I get that and I strive to provide a safe environment for self expression, hope and healing.

Video on website! When you come to therapy, you want something substantially different. You don’t want to pay for a sounding board; you want a therapist with the experience & training to dive deep into your story & bring you change. That is what I do. I use an experiential style of therapy that works well with people struggling with issues including addiction, affair recovery, trauma, abuse recovery, anxiety, attachment, spiritual growth, relational problems, and teens & their parents.

Marital, family, and individual struggles impact our day-to-day lives and important moments. Counseling during difficult times can greatly increase our ability to improve the situation and gives us confidence to do so without requiring years of therapy. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing many difficult issues such as Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, difficulty adjusting to Life Circumstances, Infidelity, Panic, Poor Communication, Relationship Problems, Self-Harm/Thoughts of Self-Harm, Feelings of Discontent, Unhealthy Patterns of Behavior, and General Unhappiness.

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.

Relationships are of utmost importance to me and I see the value in helping others work towards the relationships they need and deserve. I aim to join you where you are and in a loving yet firm way, help you to see your role in the negative interactional patterns that are occurring in your life whether it involves a spouse, a child, a family member, friendship or work relationship. We are created for connection and whether or not how we approach those connections is healthy will determine our stability and security in life.
