Our licensed counselors provide individual therapy in Arkansas

I'm Sharon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults navigate life's challenges. I have worked in various behavioral health settings, providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and relationship concerns. I enjoy working with adults and older teens who may feel overwhelmed or stuck. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted while we work together to identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lasting change.

I provide a compassionate, collaborative approach that helps clients gain insight, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and substance abuse. Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and supported.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whatever you are experiencing, you'll be met with compassion, respect, and support. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

I am a LCSW licensed in 1989. Much of my career has been spent with military members and their families affording me with knowledge and insight into the complexities of military service. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I understand the burdens these painful circumstances bring. I believe in meeting clients where they are with compassion and empathy, and I believe in the indomitable human spirit. 

As a LCSW, I've had years of training in multiple methods of working with trauma including CBT, DBT, CBT-PTSD, ACT, Ego State, and EMDR. I believe in the worth of every individual and no two experiences are the same. I believe empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach set the stage for positive client outcomes.

In choosing to engage in therapy with me, I hope you will find warmth and acceptance, a listening ear and understanding heart. Once you engage, you will find the process fluid, with you in charge of your goals and outcomes while I provide tools, support, feedback, and encouragement along the way.

In this journey, Janet can help you discover that the true essence of bravery lies not in the absence of fear, but in the determination to rise above it.
