Female Therapists in Conway, AR

I am an advocate of preventative mental health and reducing the stigma attached to mental illness and emotional problems. I believe that psychological disorders, difficulty coping and healing from life changes, grief, and stress should be handled with dignity and respect with as much knowledge and care as physical illnesses. There should be no shame or embarrassment attached to healing oneself and being the person you are created to be. The relationship and mutual respect between therapist and client is vital in the process of successful treatment.

If you feel like you’re struggling to find a sense of harmony in your life, feel overwhelmed adjusting to life changes or want to explore current stressors, therapy can be the first step in the right direction. I have experience working with individuals who are looking to improve and navigate areas of their life including general stress, life transitions and adjustments, self-esteem struggles and work towards a healthier mindset towards food, exercise and body image. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole which includes aspects of both mental and physical well-being.

Do you ever experience having thoughts, images, or memories stuck in your head? Sometimes you may even experience reactions in your body, such as: heart beating fast, pressure in your chest, or a rock in your stomach. Sometimes people even feel like they are going numb. You do not have to live this way, there is a solution. Often, we manage things effectively, but occasionally we experience life events that can be disturbing to our system. Most of the time, our brain can digest the situations we encounter. However, sometimes those skills that have worked in the past are no longer helping.

Life doesn’t come with a set of instructions. Sometimes we find that what we are doing is no longer working in the way we want it to. We may find ourselves experiencing work problems, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, difficulties reaching goals, issues with parenting, grief, or just feeling like life isn’t what we want it to be. I help clients identify and build on their current strengths, while identifying ways to strengthen and build on areas that may be more challenging. It is my intention to create a safe space for clients to process their experiences, share their challenges, and find the best path forward.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have a variety of social, emotional, and behavioral concerns, including: anxiety, depression, anger management, oppositional behavior, ADHD, Autism, and relational issues. I also specialize in psychological and psycho-educational assessment for learning disorders, ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, and various other emotional and behavioral concerns.

Every client is different, some needing help to resolve deep rooted past issues, others needing help with navigating general day to day life issues. No matter the problem, what all clients have in common is the need for the additional layer of support and guidance.

I believe we all need different levels of support at different times in our lives. I provide individual and family counseling. I'm open minded and provide a judgement free environment! Therapy isn't meant for forever, it's meant to support you during the rough patches, to develop coping skills, and it's to process your experiences to best utilize those coping skills.

What is that nagging feeling trying to tell you? Have you been ignoring or stuffing something that is just too hard to keep inside?

If you are struggling in a marriage, feeling confused, alone, stuck, or hurt, Jinny would love to help you get “unstuck.” We all get mixed up sometimes and it’s ok to not be ok.

Sara’s passion and focus in counseling is grief and loss.

Sara has worked with a wide array of populations from geriatric, college students, homeless, perinatal loss, and adolescents.

As a clinician, I believe that when encouragement is present, people thrive and empower themselves to find their own healthy validation. Alfred Adler said, “Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another ”. This raveled sentence means so much to me. I want clients to know you are seen, heard, and those feelings that you experience are accepted and safe here.

At any point in our lives, we can experience circumstances that lead to needs beyond our immediate environments. My passion is bringing others those needs that promote healing, empowerment, and growth. I help my clients gain healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen relationships in all environments.

I am excited to provide a space where healing and growth can thrive. Life can bring challenges, some expected and some not. During these times, it may be difficult to identify the right next step in improving our mental and physical health. Counseling provides a safe space to explore what growth means for us and how we can achieve our goals and find the best version of ourselves. I enjoy working with individuals and families across the life span who might be struggling with things such as PTSD, LGBTQ+ related issues, attachment disorders, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, ADHD, self image issues and anxiety.
