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.

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.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
