You shouldn't have to leave parts of yourself at the door to feel understood, especially in therapy. I'm Kaylia, and I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Arkansas–Fort Smith and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from John Brown University. I love working with teens and adults as they build confidence, connection, and emotional insight. I support clients navigating ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, stress, relationship issues, women’s issues, caregiver fatigue, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, infertility, maternal mental health concerns, and challenges connected to church leadership roles. My goal is to meet you with warmth, curiosity, and compassion wherever you are in your journey.
I'm M.J. I am an affirming ally who will support you on your unique path. I have been licensed as a professional counselor since 2012; obtained a Master of Science degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University in 2007; worked with a variety of people in outpatient and social services settings.
I believe we’re all doing the best we can, and that belief guides my work as a therapist. I care deeply about people and feel honored to be someone you can bring the hard things to. I’m down-to-earth, professional, and shaped by a diverse background that led me to counseling as my life’s work.
I have over 15 years of experience within the mental health field. I hold a PhD in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Education and Supervision. I am also a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in AR. I am also a Principal Investigator on many clinical trials for various companies.
You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.
Seeking help takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. I believe that every person's story is unique, and mental health care should reflect that. My goal is to build a collaborative relationship where we work together to understand your concerns, identify your strengths, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your values and goals.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management while taking the time to understand the whole person, not just symptoms.

Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
I work with adults and teens who are navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, perfectionism, depression, and patterns that leave them feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to help you understand how those patterns developed, reconnect with who you are, and create changes that feel sustainable rather than forced.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arkansas
Searching for therapists in Arkansas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to work on. Across the state, available therapists and specialties can vary between larger cities, smaller towns, and rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns like yours. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format can also shape your search. In Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and other parts of Arkansas, some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. You can also narrow your options by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultations, and the structure of sessions. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first appointment.
The cost of mental health care in Arkansas varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for Arkansas therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
