Dr. Teressa Whitmore

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • North Little Rock, AR


I work with adults who are ready for a more honest, compassionate relationship with themselves. In our work, we’ll slow down and make sense of your experiences, including the parts that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or hard to name. Together, we’ll explore unprocessed feelings, long‐standing patterns, and the stories you carry about yourself and others. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity. I aim to offer a space where your innermost thoughts and emotions can be expressed without judgment, and where you can feel both gently challenged and deeply understood. I see adults in both individual and couples therapy and welcome people with diverse identities, relationships, and backgrounds.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

Jill Bayless

Therapist

Virtual • Arkansas


Hello, and welcome. With over 15 years in the counseling field, I continue to feel deeply called to this work and honored to support people through life's challenges. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship and family issues, and emotional overwhelm. I also sit with people in seasons that are hard to talk about anywhere else — living with chronic illness or other physical health issues, walking through infertility, caring for someone at the end of life, or asking real questions about identity when everything familiar has shifted. I see both male and female clients across adulthood, and men's issues and women's issues are equally welcome here. Sometimes people come to therapy feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to be a steady source of support where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged as you work through what is weighing on you and begin moving toward healing and growth.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

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 Fayetteville

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
