Hi. I'm Susan (Simmons) Martinelli and, simply stated, "I love people"...every individual one. I have over 30 years' experience in the mental health field with people who may also suffer with substance use and addiction or vice versa. The two often go hand-in-hand and it can be a devastating and life-changing moment to realize you possibly have either a mental illness and/ or a substance/ alcohol use problem. I simply want to help you find your healthy path...whatever that is for you. I look forward to learning about you as a person and what we can accomplish together.
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 am open minded, kind, direct, and empowering. I encourage others to improve their skills.
I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist who is also mindful of the emotions we feel as humans. I believe therapy is holistic—mind, body, and well-being. My goal is to create a safe and judgment-free place to help guide and support you. I was previously an elementary school teacher. I am neurodivergent and enjoy working with the neurodivergent population.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Fayetteville, AR
Searching for therapists in Fayetteville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People look for therapy in Fayetteville for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Fayetteville therapists, look for specialties and training that match your goals. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Fayetteville is a smaller city, so your local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can add more choices across Arkansas while still letting you meet with a licensed therapist from a place that fits your day. When comparing a Fayetteville therapist, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offers upfront cost estimates after you add your insurance details, and shows therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
