Therapists Beginning With P in Arkansas

I primarily work with adults at this time to address dissociation issues, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, perfectionism, life change adjustments and am happy to consult about other issues not listed to see who may be the best fit for your needs. I strongly believe that perception is changeable and we need space and time to process through changes. When we change the way we see the situation and ourselves we can find relief and ways to move forward well.

We are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My practice focuses on liberation- by overcoming the impact of childhood trauma, shame, eating disorders, self-esteem, anxiety, or difficulty attaching (codependency or anti-dependency). My goal is to join you in your discovery that change is possible. Treatment formats include IFS (parts work), EMDR, Brainspotting, and experiential therapies by Pia Melody's work on childhood trauma/codependency.

I provide mental health services to children, adolescents, and their families. Children communicate best through their natural language of play. My counseling approach focuses on meeting children's needs emotionally and developmentally through play therapy. Being able to help children and their families improve their daily life is a privilege. I believe that all people have the capability of changing and working through life's difficulties with the support of a therapeutic relationship. I believe this relationship is the primary motivating factor to facilitate growth. .

Hi! Welcome! Starting counseling can feel intimidating and nerve-wracking, especially if you've never been to therapy before. It's completely normal to feel anxious or apprehensive. You might worry about being judged, misunderstood, or vulnerable. And I get it- I have been in those shoes. I am here to meet you with empathy and patience right where you are, in whatever you are struggling with.

Hi, I'm Dr. Shona Palmer, and I'm so glad that your search for optimal health and well-being has led you here! I am passionate about helping you create a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. After working as a psychologist for more than twenty years, I noticed that many clients arrived at my office with many aspects of their lives out of balance. If one system is out of balance, usually others are. I increasingly began focusing on integrative psychology and helping others restore health utilizing a holistic approach that encompasses body, mind and spirit.

I believe every person has the capacity to heal and to live a connected, vibrant life. When faced with anxiety, depression, and pain, we sometimes cope by developing habits and re-living patterns that hold us back. Whether you are experiencing unfulfilling relationships, grief, panic, or numbness, we can work together to get to know your story and illuminate the path forward.

We all go through rough patches. I'm here to assist you in exploring the rough patch you are struggling with. We will explore your hidden strengths and develop new approaches to handle any old patterns tripping you up! I'm down to earth and easy to talk to. No pretentiousness here! Call today and let's make a plan talk about creating your ideal treatment plan together.

I want to be a safe place and a refuge for my clients to feel free and open to discuss whatever is keeping them feeling stuck. My goal is to help them heal and overcome the difficulties that bring them into my office by being an ally, a supporter, and a trusted confidante. I believe the power of healing largely lies in the relationship a client, no matter their age, has with their therapist and I hold that responsibility very highly. I want my clients to feel heard, seen, and validated during our work together.

Do you find yourself struggling with the constant thought of "what if" and the daily worries of the unknown? Gripped with anxiety, depression, difficulties adjusting and adapting to abrupt sudden changes? Life can be difficult at times and can often leave us feeling sad, worried, angry and fearful of what once was and what is to come. You may feel fed up with being triggered on a daily basis, struggling with isolating from your loved ones, resenting the unexpected losses and changes that you didn't ask for or want in your life. Either way: you are ready for relief, healing and growth.

Are you open to trying new ways of gaining an understanding of yourself to feel empowered with making positive changes in your life? Each of us have our own unique story in life and at times, we can be challenged with how we deal with the ups and downs of life. Sometimes life events can have an impact on how we relate with others, view the world and ourselves. Sometimes these ups and downs can bring on feelings of sadness, confusion and frustration - when this happens, the expertise of a mental health professional can help.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the weight of past traumas or relationships? Whether you're an adult, teen, or child grappling with these challenges, or if you or your family is undergoing significant changes or stressors know that you're not alone. Therapy offers a sanctuary—a safe haven where you can unpack your burdens, explore your emotions, and acquire invaluable coping mechanisms. It's a place where your story matters, and where you're truly seen and heard. I'm here to accompany you on your journey towards healing, offering guidance and support every step of the way.

I approach my life's work humbly, even reverently, with deep sensitivity for what's got you even coming to see someone like me in the first place. I get that, really I do. And I'd love to help. I fit best with people who are okay with ambiguity and can "let the questions breathe," as we work on whatever has brought us together. I am able to see clients in Texas in person or virtually when you are in Arkansas.

Painful experiences can leave us feeling completely alone. Sometimes we just need someone to meet us where we are to find a way to move forward. Healthy relationships are sometimes difficult to navigate, especially when there is a lifetime of hurt getting in the way. I want to help you create healthy, fulfilling, nourishing connections with those you care about. Along with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about working with those who have dealt with trauma.

You are doing great! . . . mostly. Yes, there's the rising tension in your marriage and recently one of you used the "D" word. Or you worry about money or you worry about your kids because maybe they are lazy or don't respect you. Or you worry about your parents who are aging. You are good at your job but work doesn't fulfill you. You might be spending more and more time alone with your thoughts, and you find them difficult companions. They might make you feel like you are drowning in anger and sorrow. You are doing great, but sometimes it feels like you are hanging on by a thread. Or maybe the thread has already snapped.

You’ve landed here for a reason. Maybe it’s that you need a safe place to talk…to just get help with all the overwhelming feelings in your life right now. Or, maybe you’re feeling some depression, anxiety, struggles with parenting, or just with being an adult in today’s world. Good news - you can now rest easy because you’re in the right place. Providing safety and security as well as a judgment-free space is EXACTLY what I do for all of my clients. Through working together, you’ll experience HOPE. Hope that tomorrow will be better, and hope that you or your child can find ways to cope better through difficult days.

So many of us have been through traumatic experiences that have left us feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, and falling into unhealthy patterns. We experience an inner critical voice that tells us we are not good enough, ugly, or worthless. I love to provide a safe and comforting space for clients to process their difficult life experiences, break through cycles of shame, and begin recovery from addictive behaviors, including with eating and embodiment issues. Together, we focus on healing, reclaiming health, practicing intuitive self-care, celebrating your authentic self and beauty, and cultivating self-love and self-compassion.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults to address issues of depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem, and trauma. I enjoy the process of truly getting to know clients, learning their stories, and collaborating with them to use their strengths to positively impact their wellbeing. I have worked in a variety of social work roles and settings, including agency-based child abuse prevention work, community mental health, medical social work with clinical supervisory experience, and private psychotherapy practice. This varied background shapes my active, problem-solving approach.

Are you a stressed mama?! An anxious teen? Parent of an angry adolescent? A successful, independent woman struggling with relationships? Sometimes we become overwhelmed by life. Whether you are a parent, child, sibling, spouse, or partner, navigating stresses and relationships are an essential part of everyday life. Sometimes, we become so caught up in our own personal bubble that we need an outside perspective to help us see what is happening in order to gain clarity or bring about change within our lives.
