Therapists in Fayetteville, AR

Life experiences can have a significant impact on our sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being. My practice focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space where individuals can explore, process, and find meaning in their life experiences in a way that empowers them to live more authentically. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I support clients in developing self-awareness and experiencing transformation at their own pace.

No individual clients. Supervision/consultation only. I've been an LPC clinical supervisor for 25 years. I was an NBCC approved continuing education provider for 22 years, giving workshops nationally. At this point in my career I work almost exclusively with other mental health professionals seeking to improve their diagnostic and treatment skills, or finish a recent graduate's training to complete state requirements for licensing. I am a nationally published author: Mastering the Art of Psychotherapy. Available on Amazon. I served as faculty at the 2015 Erickson Foundation International Congress, lecturing on Dream Analysis.

I believe that life is more challenging than ever and many face difficult situations and struggles. My emphasis in practice is thought based. I believe thoughts can have a very powerful effect on how we feel, how we live and how we make decisions. My goal as a therapist is to help clients explore thoughts and feelings in order to help clients identify healthy ways to overcome life's challenges and obstacles. I consider it a privilege to be able to participate in the helping relationship, working to help clients navigate through the challenges, struggles and joys of life.

People seeking therapy may desire assistance in coping with changes to their everyday life, a desire for change in routine, or may have found themselves or their loved ones facing a recent medical diagnosis. These challenges may impact self-esteem, relationships, independence, work and/or educational goals. You may also have found yourself needing to step into a caregiver role. Therapy may be sought out to process changes and prioritize goals. Therapy is open to all people, no matter what you have going on in life. Having time set aside for yourself to get things off your chest may be exactly what you need!

Alyssa Raggio is a post-doctoral psychologist providing psychotherapy and psychological testing services. Alyssa strives to form a collaborative relationship with her clients and aims to de-stigmatize the process of mental health treatment. She enjoys working with adults who are experiencing concerns related to trauma, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, adjustment disorders, gender and sexual identity, as well as other mental health symptoms. She believes that a nonjudgmental, safe space is imperative for a successful therapy experience.

I believe each individual is the expert in their own life and once we can grasp this concept, real change and growth can occur. It is my belief that as a therapist, I have the opportunity to empower individuals to realize their own strengths and abilities to accomplish their goals and find well-being. I feel the therapeutic relationship, and the trust and empathy in that relationship, is one of the most important factors when it comes to working with clients on their self-understanding and change.

Therapy is tailored towards you, the client, to reach your personal goals. Treatment can be brief counseling or longer term therapy. The focus is to assist you in feeling better through identifying your strengths and developing strategies that work best for you.

At times, we all need assistance with personal growth, relationships, grieving, healing of past abuse, trauma or codependency, building leadership skills, or overcoming expectations. The hardest part is finding where to start. I tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. I work with adult individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and body image issues.

I am specially trained for working with adult clients (18 and older) who are struggling with or in recovery from eating disorders (including co-occurring diagnoses). I also serve clients whose lives are affected by someone with an eating disorder. It is common for people who have had an eating disorder, to find that transitions challenge their recovery process, so I find fulfillment in supporting people who are navigating life transitions: tackling the college experience, embarking on a new career, becoming a parent, empty-nesting, or encountering a less-expected transition such as grief or a relationship ending.

Often times we become so overwhelmed with our circumstances, that we feel down about ourselves or we allow fear to block us from our full potential. I have 20+ years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, elderly, and their loved ones. My therapeutic techniques are individually tailored to each client's needs, preferences, and strengths in order to build awareness, mindfulness, and success in attaining individual goals--whatever those may be! I am committed to helping you identify and understand your personal obstacles and together we will enact a plan to get you on the path to your best possible self.

I love working with adolescents and adults to guide them through life's difficulties to live a more fulfilling life. I provide individual, family, and couples counseling in a comfortable and private setting. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from the University of Arkansas, and have been practicing for 18 years. I utilize a variety of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Systems Approach, coping and relaxation skills, Mindfulness, and Self-Care. My primary focus is on adults and adolescents coping with anxiety, depression, adjustment to life's changes, and seeking overall personal growth.

I am passionate about assisting others through their individual journey by addressing all of the aspects of emotional, intellectual, and physical health. I believe the things we feel and think can impact our health. I work towards helping clients become proactive about their mental well-being, rather than reactive. Through conceptualizing depression and anxiety as symptoms, I strive to get to the root of the issues that are hindering your successes. I work from a strength based and encouraging platform to help you create a life filled with intention and well-being.

I believe that the most effective way to heal is in relationship. That is why my main focus is on creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore what it is like to take risks and be vulnerable in the presence of another. I know that I can only take my clients as far as I have gone myself, and that is why I continue to actively participate in my own personal therapy, healing, and addiction recovery work.

My approach as a therapist with each client is person centered. I have 14 years of experience working as a licensed therapist with adults in individual and group settings. I believe every client is different and I value that their journey is unique. I have a wide range of experience working with clients with a variety of concerns including anxiety, stress management, depression, grief, codependency, and life transitions. I also utilize a holistic approach by taking into account a clients mental health, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.

I enjoy working with people who are facing challenges with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and anger issues. I thrive in finding core issues and working on increasing each clients internal strengths to help them overcome their challenges. By utilizing different techniques and theories, I strive to help my client decrease the emotions or behaviors that are troubling them and learn ways to cope with them in healthy ways.

I primarily help people who are suffering with either (or both!) Insomnia Disorder and PTSD. However I have many years of experience as a therapist and am able to treat depression, anxiety, chronic pain, along with co-occuring substance use disorder and other mental health disorders. I believe in delivering evidence based therapy when clinically indicated. In my experience, clients feel better sooner when they receive the most effective treatment for their diagnosis. I also use a lot of measurement based care to routinely assess progress we are making. My ideal client is someone who is ready to enact change in their life.
