Women's Issues Therapists in Bella Vista, AR

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.

My goal is to create a safe space that is accepting and empowering. I am understanding and provide honesty and hope for my clients. I believe it takes a tremendous amount of courage to begin a journey of personal growth. I see my role as a process facilitator. I utilize my experience, skills, and training to help my clients resolve problems, improve relationships and gain useful life tools. I believe that we are all capable of change, growth, and healing. I hold a Masters of Science in Counseling and an Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Harding University.

Marisa values compassion and connection in the counseling office. Marisa aims to help those that sit with her to answer the questions that led them to counseling, as well as experience the change and healing they've been searching for. She believes that each person is created for healthy relationship and prioritizes working to build such with those in her office.

My ideal client is a female who has struggled with depression and anxiety most of their lives. They want to know how to move past being stuck and have a better quality of life. I can teach them coping skills to help them.

I am passionate about working with couples, families, and individuals who are looking to make changes in their lives. I am honored when I am invited to come alongside someone to hear their story and move with them toward a positive change and balance.

It can be hard to ask for help, and I often hear people say that they do not want to burden anyone with their struggles. You may say to yourself, "Everyone has their own problems," but even if that is true, it doesn't make you any less deserving of a helping hand. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment of safety, authenticity, and compassion in which to meet each client wherever they are in life.

A cornerstone of my approach is trauma-informed care, where I create a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and address past traumas. Whether it's navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, or working through challenges related to personality disorders, I'm dedicated to helping clients reclaim their agency and resilience. I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQAI+ -identifying folks, and women or femme-identifying individuals. My approach is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and empowerment. Together with my clients, we embark on a collaborative journey towards self-awareness, growth, and resilience.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and focus treatment based on the needs of the family or individual. I have special training in trauma treatment with families, children, and adolescents that has been proven to be extremely effective with persons with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, and behavioral issues. Therapy provides ways to express feelings, understand patterns of thinking, gain perspective on past events and current relationships, set goals, and clarify dreams for the future.

I can help you get to the 'heart' of the challenges and issues you're dealing with and make the lasting changes you’re longing for. Having been in practice over 40 years, I'm a seasoned therapist and have the tools and experience to resolve whatever is 'up' for you. I've found that 'talk therapy' is often not enough to resolve many difficulties, so I use a variety of effective approaches, uniquely adjusted to match each client's needs. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered therapy; Meditative approaches and Hypnotherapy.

Northwest Counseling offers professional counseling for all ages. We specialize in marital therapies that include trained EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) marriage therapists.

I am passionate about seeing clients grow through working through and understanding their story and how it has affected them in order to experience personal growth, better self awareness and self compassion, and ability to live more fully in the present. I work with clients on anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and other stressors. Often these issues in the present are tied to wounds in the past that can cause us to get stuck in unhelpful ways about thinking about ourselves. I believe that working on these issues from a trauma-focused lens can lead to a deeper and more lasting result than focusing on symptoms alone.

I am passionate about helping people learn practical tools to develop self-awareness and self-acceptance. I am person-centered and relational in my approach. I communicate the value I see in you! Through collaboration, we will create and monitor treatment goals that reflect your needs. I hold space for you to acknowledge your hardest moments and empathize about these inevitable struggles; while maintaining awareness of the possibility that lighter emotions, like humor, curiosity, and creativity, can be present at the same time. I strive to support you in accepting and enjoying your multifaceted and meaningful life.

Are you a parent/guardian struggling to help your child or adolescent? You may feel helpless and isolated if your child is experiencing behavioral or emotional difficulties. I can help you by working with your child from a developmentally appropriate approach. Each person has a unique journey, and no one should ever feel they must navigate it alone. Therefore, throughout this process, your child will experience a warm, safe, and accepting environment as we work collaboratively to help. I’ll also work to help you understand your child more and provide you with tools to feel more empowered.

Currently, I have a waitlist for testing, so please call to be added. We contact those on the list in order whenever there is a rare cancellation. If looking for talk therapy, my wonderful colleagues at my practice usually have more immediate availability! Thanks for stopping by to read my profile and for considering me for your treatment needs. I am very authentic and transparent about who I am in my work. As a Licensed Psychologist, I provide comprehensive evals (i.e. ADHD, Autism) and focus on testing you holistically, not just for the diagnosis suspected- I want you to learn about yourself through the process.

Do you ever feel like you are just spinning your wheels? Hi! I'm Anna, a Licensed Certified Social Worker. I love working with clients who are ready to make a change in their lives and work towards progress. Sometimes progress is slow-moving, and that's okay! I think of it like a marathon: for the first 12 miles, you are closer to where you started than to the finish line, but that doesn't mean you aren't making progress. We show up, put in the work, and over time we start to see that we are moving in a positive direction.

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. Charis is passionate about helping clients with neurodiversity such as ADHD, OCD, sensory needs, and various learning disorders. 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.

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.

Sometimes, in our lives we hold onto unresolved issues from the past, which can resurface in many different forms. Anxiety, sadness, depression, and anger usually have "roots" digging deep into our pasts. Choosing to suppress or push disturbing feelings aside may work for a period of time, but will not resolve the underlying issue. As a result, ineffective, and often destructive coping patterns develop. Talking with me can break this pattern and lead to a more fulfilling life.
