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.
Hi! I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I graduated with FNP from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 2016. I practiced in a rural health family practice clinic for 5 years before returning to school to get my PMHNP to provide better care for my clients. I help children and adults ages 5 and up overcome life's challenges and achieve mental well-being.
I'm a dual certified family practice and mental health nurse practitioner with extensive experience in outpatient primary care, preventive medicine and psychiatric practice, managing a variety of both medical and mental health conditions across the lifespan.
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.
Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.
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.

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.
