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 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.
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 work with adults who are ready for a more honest, compassionate relationship with themselves. In our work, we’ll slow down and make sense of your experiences, including the parts that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or hard to name. Together, we’ll explore unprocessed feelings, long‐standing patterns, and the stories you carry about yourself and others. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity. I aim to offer a space where your innermost thoughts and emotions can be expressed without judgment, and where you can feel both gently challenged and deeply understood. I see adults in both individual and couples therapy and welcome people with diverse identities, relationships, and backgrounds.
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!!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Smackover
Searching for therapists in Smackover starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, or life changes. It can also help to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs, such as trauma therapy, family counseling, marriage counseling, or support for identity-related concerns. Reading therapist bios can show you how each therapist approaches sessions, which methods they use, and what kinds of concerns they often support.
In a smaller city like Smackover, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Arkansas communities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Arkansas. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether their approach feels aligned with what you want from care.
Therapy in Smackover can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare specialties and availability, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
