When life gives you lemons...
My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.
In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.
Learning to love the desert
I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.
There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapy Therapist in Fayetteville, AR
Finding couples therapists in Fayetteville starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Fayetteville therapists, look for someone whose listed training matches your goals. Some therapists have specific couples training, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, and some are licensed marriage and family therapists.
In a smaller city like Fayetteville, the number of local therapists who focus on couples work may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Arkansas while still helping you find someone who fits both partners’ schedules. Consider appointment availability, session structure, and whether the therapist offers a brief phone consultation before booking. Reading bios can also help you understand how a therapist works with couples, how they describes their approach, and what topics they commonly support.
Couples therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
