Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.

Therapist

Virtual • Arkansas


Welcome! Fourteen years in, this still moves me. ❤️ Let's see if any of this sounds familiar: You check the locks again on your way to bed. You reread the text nine times, send it, then apologize for sending it. You sit in the car in the driveway a minute longer than you need to. You are steady in the hospital hallway and you come apart in the cereal aisle. Your kid gets called defiant by adults who have never seen him tired. You know which friends stopped calling first. You have carried this well, and you have carried it alone, and both of those cost you something. This is for you. Children, teenagers, adults, people starting over at sixty-eight.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arkansas

Searching for therapists in Arkansas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to work on. Across the state, available therapists and specialties can vary between larger cities, smaller towns, and rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns like yours. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format can also shape your search. In Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and other parts of Arkansas, some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. You can also narrow your options by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultations, and the structure of sessions. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first appointment.

The cost of mental health care in Arkansas varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for Arkansas therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
