Equilibrium means balance — the ability to harmonize your personal needs, relationships, work, and responsibilities while cultivating peace within yourself. In a world filled with constant stress and uncertainty, true inner peace can feel like a luxury. My goal is to help make that peace accessible to you.
Together, we will explore and process the trauma, stress, and life experiences that may keep you feeling stuck in survival mode or constant fight-or-flight. Through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship, you will learn practical skills to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, shift behaviors that no longer serve you, and build healthier ways of coping and living.
Hello and welcome! Seeking therapy takes a lot of courage and finding the right therapist is an important part of that process. I have experience working with adults facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, severe mental illness, and problems with motivation and self-esteem.
I am open minded, kind, direct, and empowering. I encourage others to improve their skills.
I believe healing begins when someone finally has a place where they don't have to pretend anymore. Healing takes place when we feel safe enough to tell our story. As a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker, I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the many challenges that come with being human. I help Veterans and civilians heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, overcome addiction, and build lives marked by resilience, purpose, and renewed hope. I am a musician, animal lover, and nature explorer. I enjoy road trips and discovering new places with my husband of 43 years! We have two daughters who are also LCSWs whom I work with as well. We have a precious, 21 month-old granddaughter who keeps us laughing! As a trauma survivor/hero and thriver myself, I love exploring the healing path with my clients along life's messy journey. My passion is helping others discover their many strengths, and empowering them to become thrivers and heroes as well!!
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.
I help adolescents, couples, and adults to work through adjustments, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma and create a life they love. When you are on a rollercoaster of spiraling thoughts and painful emotions, you feel broken, unseen, or voiceless. You may be experiencing confusion, guilt, pain, or shame, but you don’t have to stay there. I have great compassion for the difficulties you are experiencing, and I look forward to working with you to find your inner strength and assist you in living a happy, fulfilling life.
I’m Kenneth Chinchilla, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals develop emotional resilience, confidence, and lasting well-being. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders through a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. I believe in treating the whole person—mind and body—and creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My aim is to help you find clarity, strength, and meaningful progress on your mental health journey.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate some of the harder things life brings — anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, bipolar disorder, maternal mental health, infertility, eating disorders, and chronic illness, among others. I work with adults of all backgrounds and I'm fully LGBTQIA+-affirming. I see all of my clients via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in Arkansas, we can work together — no commute, no waiting room. I'm warm and I'm direct, and I don't believe in keeping you in therapy longer than you need to be.
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.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
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.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Little Rock
Finding addiction therapists in Little Rock starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can address alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse concerns, and co-occurring mental health needs like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Little Rock has a steady mental health care community, but the right addiction therapist may not be the closest office. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Arkansas while still giving you access to local in-person care when that fits your schedule. Consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and describes a non-judgmental approach to addiction care. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with substance use, behavioral concerns, relapse prevention, and harm reduction before you book.
Addiction therapy in Little Rock can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more manageable. Headway helps you find therapists, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare availability in one place. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
