Therapists in Little Rock, AR

Through cognitive, somatic and spiritual methods I seek to help my clients see, feel and then embody their healthiest and happiest version of Self. I believe knowledge is power so I use research-based modalities & time-tested wisdom. I take a team approach to therapy, working WITH my clients and teaching them to work with themselves.

I am currently undergoing certification for eating disorder specialist through IAEDP, ending Dec 2023.

I am a licensed therapist who works most often with trauma and addiction.

I provide treatment for a wide variety of individual mental health diagnoses in teens and adults ranging from major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anger management, partner relational problems, and psychotic disorders. I have also taught process and skills development groups in: communication, anger management, stress management, relationship skills, recovery, DBT, and relapse prevention.

Marital or relationship problems, traumatic past, depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, unable to focus or concentrate, alcohol or substance abuse, or just struggling to take the next step in life. These are just a fraction of the issues and problems I help people with every day. People want peace in their lives, but the reality is peace has a price. Our lives are entangled in responsibilities and relationships that are extremely difficult and take a heavy toll upon us mentally. In many cases we are to believe that if you can't see the hurt or the pain then it doesn't exist. It does and it is real. There is help and it is here.

I have 32 years of experience working with individuals, families and couples. I work with people suffering from depression and anxiety, marital issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, behavioral issues, grief, to name a few. I have written a book available on Amazon entitled, "Everybody Has A Story," a practical guide to marriage. This book offers insights into the challenges created by marriage. It is based on my years of experience working with couples to create a more healthy and happy existence.

I am here to help you build the life you are excited to live. I have experience working with adolescents and adults of all ages and genders.

I have years of experience and success helping my clients break out of unhealthy patterns to feel more empowered and strong. I provide empathy, compassion, and offer a supportive, safe, judgement free environment where all are welcome.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arkansas with 8 years of experience in providing Client Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness Techniques to clients in need. I utilized Client Center, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness Counseling techniques to help clients work on past and current negative life experiences that often disrupt their current mood and behaviors in daily lifestyles.

Nobody is immune to life problems and the toll they can take on our mental health. With more than 10 years experience, I provide professional and confidential mental health counseling services to diverse persons. I do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or personal identification and believe that through connection and compassion we can resolve any problem together. Our problems and past experiences do not define us and our future is not yet written. Help is available and you are not alone. Let's work towards building your life the way it was always meant to be: authentic, fulfilling and empowered.

Life can sometimes become overwhelming. I am dedicated to helping you find healthy ways to cope with what you are experiencing as well as provide the emotional support and validation you may be lacking. I do not judge your feelings, thoughts, lifestyle, or any part of who you are or how you identify. My hope is that through counseling you will identify your strengths, heal, and develop the tools you need to survive and thrive in this sometimes chaotic world. I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings and seek solutions to the issue you are facing.

I am passionate about my work and specialize in three areas: working with women over 40 experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, past trauma and adjusting to major life changes and transitions, working with busy professionals of all ages trying to balance family, career, community and social demands, and working with couples on the brink of separation and/ or divorce.

First off, I think it's funny that I'm even a "psychotherapist". I reluctantly started going to counseling myself in college. Surprisingly, it changed my life for the better. I never would have guessed it! It was so beneficial, I ended up getting a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy...not necessarily as a career choice, but simply to continue my personal learning and growth. I've worked in several other career fields, but no other job has even come close to matching the satisfaction I get from helping people find freedom after experiencing some of their darkest times. Now it has become my passion!

Bio video on my website...When you pay for therapy, you're expecting something of tangible value. All too often what you get instead is a nice person on a couch and little else. That’s not me. With high energy and humor, I help people recover from sexual addiction; I help couples lost in conflict and hopelessness; and I help parents with teens and young adults. I work with sexual abuse, attachment wounds, and traumas/PTSD of all kinds. I am a Christian, and I approach therapy from a clinical perspective. We can integrate your faith as much as you feel comfortable, or not at all.

Andrew Roach, a native of Monroe, Louisiana, has been a clinician in Arkansas since 1994. He has 25 years of experience working with the chronic mentally ill in both the inpatient and outpatient settings and been in private practice for over a decade, serving community members of Central Arkansas.

My counseling approach focuses on rebuilding individuals and their families through self-discovery, inspiration, and self-actualization. This is achieved by using an integrated perspective, which focus on the mind, body and soul of each client. The purpose is to help clients that have paused on their journey due to life circumstances; seek true identity, learn tools for success, motivate, inspire hope, and embrace the process of self-improvement.

Do you feel alienated, alone, & misunderstood? Caught in a cycle of escape, control, and avoidance? You judge yourself at every turn, can’t meet your own expectations and don't seem to trust yourself? You feel like you're not good enough and scared you can't feel anything but alone. You sacrifice parts of yourself to feel worthy of love. Overwhelmed by shame and guilt about who you are and what you’ve experienced. You try to find peace by avoiding life. Control has become the problem, not the solution. I'm here to help you discover a new way to feel, heal & deal. You no longer need to feel alone in the face of overwhelming emotions.

As a therapist, my goal is to come alongside each individual, couple or family during times of challenge to help them find hope, direction and healing. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have their story heard. In times of crisis, the ability to have someone who understands what you are going through, can serve as a catalyst for helping overcome difficulties. I love working with couples facing difficult life challenges, and individuals that don't think they can benefit from counseling. Isolation keeps us stuck. Let me help you find hope, direction and healing.
