Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Little Rock, AR

Hello! My name is Chantal Kelsey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 14 years of experience in the social work field. The treatment areas I specialize in are depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I believe people are capable of surviving adversities of life and succeeding. There are no perfect people. We all need love and acceptance and through working together all things are possible.

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.

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 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!!

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.

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 in empowering people to take charge of their own present and future lives. Generally, when you seek therapy, you are overwhelmed and ready to change. I believe you have it within yourself to make sense of your life, focus on creating the life you desire, and feel in control. I use strength and solution-based, client -centered psychotherapy. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, and have a sense of humor. Regardless of the weight of therapy, we will also laugh!

Seeking help takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. I believe that every person's story is unique, and mental health care should reflect that. My goal is to build a collaborative relationship where we work together to understand your concerns, identify your strengths, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your values and goals.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management while taking the time to understand the whole person, not just symptoms.

My name is Diana and I am a First Gen Latina LCSW who is passionate about working with women struggling with anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma. I have over 6 years of experience ensuring clients are given a safe virtual, space and collaborate with you on the best course of treatment. If you are bilingual Spanish/English speaker, our emotional language can be in our native language. I am here to ensure that you feel heard in whatever language you feel comfortable in.
