Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Arkansas covered by Aetna

Sometimes life asks more of us than we feel prepared to give. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or major life transitions can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or uncertain about what comes next. You may have spent so much time taking care of responsibilities that you've forgotten to take care of yourself. You don't have to keep carrying that weight alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, stress management, and grief and loss so they can find greater emotional balance, strengthen important relationships, and move forward with renewed confidence and purpose. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free environment where meaningful growth feels both possible and sustainable.

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 specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain — and I bring the same compassionate curiosity to every client I work with. I understand that reaching out for help can feel scary. Many of my clients come in worried they won't be believed, or anxious about how they'll be perceived. I want you to know that you are safe here — your experience is valid, and you will never be judged. Outside of the clinic, you'll find me knitting or tending to my freshwater aquariums, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate the slow, steady work of growth.

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.

Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.

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.

Hi, I’m Deborah M. Rago, LCSW. I hold master’s degrees in both Social Work and Human Services, and I’ve spent more than three decades supporting clients across Arkansas in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. My experience includes working with grief and loss, personality disorders, addictions, professional stress, and trauma.

If you’re facing a difficult season or feeling overwhelmed by what you’re carrying, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to offer compassionate, experienced support as you work toward greater understanding and meaningful change.

Healing begins with connection, even through a screen. I'm Melissa Cook, LPC-S, licensed in Texas and Arkansas, and I offer telehealth sessions for teens, adults, couples, and parents anywhere in either state. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and parenting support. I also understand the unique pressure of running a business, so if you're a business owner or professional carrying stress, burnout, or anxiety that follows you home, I offer a space to set it down. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and honest, and yes, there's room for laughter in therapy.

Hi there, it is nice to meet you! I am Shantina, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides comprehensive mental health care through a secure telehealth platform. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, listening to music, singing, and fostering dogs, and I'm a huge animal lover.

I have over 20 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), a masters degree from National University and am a co-founder of Mending Trauma, a holistic mental health company that specializes in trauma recovery using a whole-health approach via a telehealth platform.

My specialty is trauma and I have worked with mass trauma, individual trauma, PTSD, cPTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain and other diagnosis that have trauma as a common underlying condition.

As a licensed professional therapist, I believe meaningful counseling begins with a genuine connection—a space where you can feel seen, heard, understood, and valued for who you are. After 10 years as a school counselor, I felt called to expand my work beyond the school setting and invest in the emotional and personal needs of individuals on a deeper level.
