Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Therapists in Little Rock, AR

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

I'm the owner of PSYCHē, PLLC, a behavioral health consulting firm dedicated to providing our clients with the most effective, personable, and solid network of therapists in the country. We are a private network of expert therapists specializing in hand-selecting top psychologists and counselors across multiple states. Our goal is to match clients with their perfect therapist. As a seasoned Cognitive Behavioral Therapy therapist (CBT) and Linehan Board Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT-LBC™), I believe it is my job to not only provide great care to MY clients, but also to rigorously vet therapists who see the clients I can't.

Are you looking for an effective and experienced therapist? I have over 20 years of experience working with adults to address challenges that inevitably disrupt our lives, giving us an opportunity to reconsider our values while exploring and implementing new solutions aligned with those values. Life can be joyful at times, yet life can also bring anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. As a psychologist, I help adults 18-50+ years old navigate these difficult moments. Reach out to me to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Is anxiety, whether chronic or situational, hindering your ability to live a life free from fear? Do you struggle to silence or control the relentless, illogical thoughts that dominate your mind, triggering fearful responses and creating discomfort throughout your body? Maybe anxiety has disrupted your sleep, changed your eating patterns, or led to unsettling physical symptoms like heart palpitations, pain, or excessive sweating. The experience of anxiety can feel like being trapped under turbulent water. Anxiety disorders can manifest in various ways. Regardless of how it's affecting you, the positive news is that with the right anxiety treatment, strategies, and coaching, it's possible to alleviate, manage, and eventually overcome anxiety and the fear it brings. If anxiety is preventing you from doing the things you want or need to do, seeking treatment for anxiety could be crucial for your well-being, providing significant relief. Contact me for a free introductory consultation.

Little Rock is Arkansas's state capital and its most significant healthcare hub — home to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and a concentration of major hospital systems — creating a well-developed mental health training and clinical infrastructure relative to the city's size. The city's African American community — which comprises roughly forty percent of Little Rock proper — drives important demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, intergenerational resilience, and the particular dynamics of a Southern city still navigating the legacy of its civil rights history, including the 1957 Central High School crisis. Baptist Health and CHI St. Vincent provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Little Rock's role as a regional medical center means it draws therapy clients from across a wide rural surrounding area where local access is limited.
