Victims of all ages get to the root of the pain that keeps them stuck in their lives and relationships. Victims of
Trauma

Erin Rigdon
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
If you feel that you need to work on any area of your life including but not limited to
trauma
, relationships, parenting, handling conflict, anxiety, depression, grief, behaviors, crisis, and the list goes on to please contact me about how we can work together to achieve your goals.
I believe that all individuals will encounter a time in their lives when they will be facing some form of hardship, conflict, or distress. The ability for someone to recognize that they cannot go it alone and need a partner to assist them in navigating life situations is where I come into play. I believe that individuals can make the changes necessary in their lives with the proper supports and skills provided through counseling. Individuals who are ready to put in the work needed to navigate this life are the ones who will succeed.
Dana Fleming
Professional Counselor , MS, PLPC, NCC
Verified
I love working with adolescents and teens in the foster system, adults who want to break the cycle of
trauma
, those who have suffered a loss or who may be battling mental illness.
As the sixth generation of my family to live in Howell County, I understand how foreign the concept of counseling may be to some people. Yet, as an Ozarker, I also understand the wit, humor, passion and intelligence of the people of this area, and I combine these traits with formal training and natural curiosity about people to create space for my clients to go through the healing process. Native Ozarker or not, it is my belief that everyone, at some point in their lives, will experience
trauma
, loss, or mental illness that is treatable through therapy.
Christine Dowell
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
Through
trauma
informed approaches, Christine recognizes how adverse experiences impact function and happiness in everyday life.
Providing a safe space, being entrusted with vulnerability, and bearing witness to healing is an awe inspiring and mutually rewarding experience. Therefore, a good relationship is the first priority in therapy. Christine realizes that successful treatment begins with a strong therapeutic rapport. This focus allows clients to feel safe and understood, which is a strong catalyst for progress towards healing and achieving goals. Positive results can only occur once a therapeutic alliance is developed.
Dr. Jenny Long
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Deadlines, demands, sickness. It feels like you can’t keep up. Everyone wants a piece of you and there is not enough to go around. You are exhausted and your mind won't shut off. The What if's overwhelm you... "What if I am not good enough? What if I let everyone down?" Your family, your job, your friends are counting on you. You may wonder, "When is it about what I need?" only to feel selfish and guilty about that too.

Sarah Jarvis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
Sometimes what we KNOW is true does not FEEL true. Your days may involve fighting intrusive thoughts, wrestling with anxiety, or trying to act okay when you feel anything but “fine.” Your mind may feel like the problem right now, but it is a beautifully unique and complex part of you that is capable of wellness. While stress can be minimized, it will never be completely eliminated from our lives. However, our brains can learn to adapt and find safety even in the midst of life's storms. Whether you have
trauma
symptoms, anxiety, or OCD you can move beyond just surviving. You are capable of thriving.

Chris Carver - Courage to Be LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Verified
I use a
trauma
informed approach to my work and I am EMDR trained.
** Currently accepting clients for waitlist ** Many of my clients enter therapy to address the feeling of groundlessness that can occur when things fall apart. It may be an episode of significant depression or anxiety, unresolved
trauma
, a life changing loss such as divorce or death, or a crisis of awakening and challenging previously held understandings of the self in the world. There are many paths that take us into therapy, and I walk that path with my clients to develop a better understanding and integration to adapt to life when we find ourselves at these challenging points.
Rebecca McGarry
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I have worked several years with children, teens, and families experiencing a wide range of behavioral health concerns such as
trauma
, depression, anxiety, and opposition.
Life can be overwhelming, exhausting, and even lonely at times. The everyday battle of constant pressures and overload of doubts, worries, and negativity can sometimes be too much. Especially, as a child, adolescent, or young adult who is trying to navigate the confusing balance of school, relationships, and expectations, while handling the changes that come with growing up. No matter where those pressures are coming from, having a safe space where you can connect, be heard, and work through those situations and emotions can be life changing.
Cari Hansen
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, LPC, NCC
Verified
Many individuals overcome the odds and do well in the face of great stress or
trauma
.
My experience with helping individuals and families overcome difficult challenges is my passion. I believe that it easier to find and build upon one's strengths than it is to focus primarily on fixing problems. Much of my time in therapy is spent on discovering creative solutions rather than talking too long just about what is wrong. I often involve the whole family and believe that every person is unique and requires an individualized approach. One size does not fit all. Please call me or email today discuss your needs and hopes and/or to set an appointment time.

I seriously understand how scary change can be. You are the only person who can decide when it's time to take control of your own mental health. Think about what it would feel like to truly, LAUGH, again. I am a professional mental health provider with profound experience in working with those seeking change. Change in your personal life. Change in your relationships with others. Change in how you parent. Change in understanding that you have the tools/power to reduce your own anxiety/depression. Change that you can choose not to carry your
trauma
forward.

For those who have had severe
trauma
, I often use the
Trauma
-Informed Approach.
Hello! To say my life has been interesting is an understatement. If it's unusual or a rare thing it's most likely happened to me or I've helped someone dealing with it. In order to be a well-rounded therapist, I have worked in state agencies, schools, and now for myself. I dedicated five years to fulfill contracts with the military (all over the world) to assist active duty and their families. It's very important to me to make sure your therapy is in tune with your needs. I don't do cookie-cutter therapy. I proudly call my business LHC and Company because I believe in teamwork with you and those I need to get the work done.

My passion and expertise is in helping minority/marginalized individuals work through complex
trauma
in an affirming and holistic way.
Are you looking for a unique and different healing experience that is also evidence-based and research supported? Are you ready to make an investment in yourself? I work with clients who are seeking non-traditional perspectives and approaches to therapy and wellbeing, that recognize their healing is not linear. My clients are individuals who desire to integrate their healing experiences by taking the work done in therapy and applying it outside of sessions with practical tools and support. If you are feeling under-stimulated in your personal growth and are ready to take responsibility for your wholeness, we would be a great fit!
