Therapists in Bentonville, AR

My style is client-centered, authentic and strengths-based. I will be a catalyst for helping you to see and understand yourself, so that you can live your life at your highest potential. Through active listening, empathy, and validation of experience, we will uncover the courage and skills you have within you in order to achieve positive, lasting change.

Whether it’s anxiety, depression, stressful adjustments, past, current trauma or even stress from everyday life situations. Regardless what life throws your way it always helps to have someone by your side that will say I’ve got you and we will get through this together. One of the biggest reasons Counseling is successful is therapeutic rapport. Feeling cared about and never judged is something everyone deserves. Our lives are ever changing and sometimes we need help navigating through the tough times. Opening up and talking, learning new ways of thinking, healing old wounds and coping skills are just a few of the ways I can help.

I have more than 10 years experience helping college students, adults and adolescents navigate a wide range of challenges to achieve their goals.

Clients seek treatment not only to make a connection with someone, but to see concrete changes in their lives. You’ve made the first, BIG step by asking for help. Being vulnerable can be scary, but it is absolutely necessary to overcome the challenges that we face. Whether you’re struggling with a recent trauma, an unhealthy relationship, or just feeling anxious and/ or depressed, I would absolutely love to help you on your journey towards finding the best version of yourself.

I believe in a practical, integrative approach to counseling to help each person along their individual path. I want to help you find hope and joy instead of merely eliminating symptoms. I work with my clients to facilitate growth and change through transparency, empathy and nonjudgment, as well as through other evidence based practices, including EMDR.

Whatever you are struggling with, you are not alone. I am here to listen to you and give you 100% of my attention. Please come as you are. There is no judgement here. Therapy can be a very scary thing, but I am here to provide you with a safe place to be open and vulnerable. You oversee your process and the speed in which we approach things. Seeking out ther

Life can be hard. Therapy shouldn't be. One of the most courageous decisions a person can make is to focus on themselves in order to grow. My goal as a therapist is to help you expand your personal wisdom, improve relationships, and create a balanced happy life. I am passionate about working with you to explore your personal strengths and build new ones to help navigate life. I offer a compassionate and laid back approach to therapy. I will meet you where you are and help to provide skills to continue on this journey together.

What is your greatest desire? Take a moment to really think about it. What stands in your way? You may be struggling to answer these questions. You may feel lost, confused, helpless, and overwhelmed. Maybe you feel alone or too embarrassed to talk to someone, but you don't have to brave the journey alone. Life is full of twists and turns, obstacles, and roadblocks that create a need to adjust the route to your destination. You may need help navigating the journey, and therapy is not “one size fits all.”

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.

If you are to find yourself, your family, or your child struggling, the best thing you can do is seek out someone to listen and empathize with your situation. My approach is grounded in the principles of Attachment Theory and Humanistic Psychology. Through a warm and empathetic environment, I invite clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of interaction, promoting insight and awareness that pave the way for meaningful change.

The world we inhabit is one of incredible beauty and goodness, yet also deep hurt, pain, suffering and loss. None are immune to struggle along the way. I believe this collision of experience can, at times, become wrapped, hidden, in emotional, mental, physical and relational distress. I am privileged to work with clients that come carrying a great deal of experience and challenge in navigating their lives. It is my honor to join with you as we seek to unwrap your story together, look toward safer, more secure and deeper connection with self and others, and aim to reduce the impact of the pain and brokenness you encounter.

Identity exploration is the heart of transformative therapy. You absolutely deserve to feel grounded in who you are, and it is my privilege to help clients explore the patterns or hardships causing inner turmoil. People often come to me with histories of emotional abuse, difficult upbringings, or toxic romantic relationships. Some feel stuck or alone in their current circumstances, and they want help navigating a tender transition. The introspective nature of therapy can be vulnerable, but the healing is often profound. Wherever you are on your journey, I will strive to help you build a more authentic and meaningful life.

I'm a therapist with a passion for helping individuals heal from trauma whether it be situational or relational. I was previously a school counselor for 14 years. During that time, I learned that everyone needs a safe place to be themselves, share hard things, vent, cry, and process thoughts & feelings with someone who will listen with an open mind and an open heart. My interactions with students, parents, and colleagues deepened my understanding of the complexities of human relationships and the importance of connection and empowerment.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arkansas with 8 years of experience in providing Client Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness Techniques to clients in need. I utilized Client Center, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness Counseling techniques to help clients work on past and current negative life experiences that often disrupt their current mood and behaviors in daily lifestyles.

With over a decade experience in a variety of settings, my passion lies in working a hybrid of school based and outpatient - working with teens, adults, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I most enjoy working through life transitions be it changes in circumstances, gender/sexuality, the natural ebbs and flows of life, or taking the next step (adulthood, career, marriage, etc). I am trained in EMDR & TF-CBT, thus I excel at working with trauma. I'm a GALAP pledge signer and take a no gatekeeping approach to serving trans and nonbinary clients. I enjoy helping families find common ground and mutual respect even around difficult subjects.

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.

It’s common to forget our own strengths and values in the hustle and bustle of living. This can set us up for depression, anxiety, and other complications. Therapy can help you to rediscover your inherent strengths and resilience. My approach allows people to make changes happen in their lives by giving them hope and helping them learn to confront irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. My wish for you is that at the end of each session you feel less isolated and more like the person you were meant to be.

Life’s journey can be really challenging sometimes. Hardships, relationships, and emotions can be difficult to overcome. While people come to treatment for a variety of reasons, therapy can serve as a critical anchor when you are feeling lost, broken, or stuck. I view therapy as a safe, explorative space to help you work through the problems you're experiencing as well as learn more about the relationships affecting your life.

I primarily help people who are suffering with either (or both!) Insomnia Disorder and PTSD. However I have many years of experience as a therapist and am able to treat depression, anxiety, chronic pain, along with co-occuring substance use disorder and other mental health disorders. I believe in delivering evidence based therapy when clinically indicated. In my experience, clients feel better sooner when they receive the most effective treatment for their diagnosis. I also use a lot of measurement based care to routinely assess progress we are making. My ideal client is someone who is ready to enact change in their life.
