Therapists in Benton, AR

Are you Stuck? Maybe your professional life is thriving, but your relationships are a mess. Maybe it's the other way around.

Whether it's a relationship issue, a personal hangup, grief and loss, professional burnout, or difficulty overcoming a traumatic experience, together, we will take some significant steps toward you feeling better and toward your life goals.

My goal as a therapist is to help people become more the master of their lives so they are living as fully, effectively, and joyfully as they want. I help clients resolve past traumas & issues and gain new skills in self-confidence, relationships, and accomplishing life's goals. During my 30+ years as a therapist, I have taught psychotherapy at graduate schools (8 years) in Indonesia and The Philippines as well as maintaining a full-time private practice specializing in depression, grief, relationships, parenting, divorce, phobias, anxiety, anger management, PTSD with military personnel and survivors of trauma / abuse; and cross-cultural & inter-faith issues.

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'm a simple guy and straight-shooter, which means I'm a great fit for hard-working folks who want honest, solution-focused discussions about change. Guilt and shame have no place in my counseling room, only the realization that we're all human, all have our flaws, and all are struggling to figure out how to live with less chaos. I love working with men who aren't thrilled about the idea of going to individual or couples therapy, as well as law enforcement and first responders.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral, and Experiential Therapy approaches when working with individuals and families.

People often ask me the trick to being happy in this life... Time and time again, the old adage about "knowing the difference between the things you can and cannot change" remains as true as any I've found. Most of the people that walk into my office haven't yet identified which situation they're facing. Their anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and other struggles are fueled by their struggle come up with either a plan of action or a plan of acceptance. That's where, through a process of listening and exploring, I can help you clarify your options for finding peace.

Life can be challenging, and uncertain at times. Whether it's transitions in life, anxiety, depression, parental conflicts, child conflicts, traumatic experiences, abuse, behavioral adjustments, or grief/loss. You and your family can overcome the hardships of life and things that just don't make sense; by working together through difficult emotions and living life as you were meant to live. 2024 is here and good things can happen for you this year!

Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Most people want to change, but don't know what steps to take. "Be transformed through the renewing of your mind." I believe that most people make choices based on their emotions. What happens when these emotions don't reflect the reality of your circumstances? The idea is, to change how you feel you must first change how you think. I love working with individuals who are motivated to change how they see themselves and the world around them.
