Relationships are the foundation from which we can find strength and learn to believe in ourselves. I do not have all the answers to the hurts and questions you are facing, but I can provide support on your journey to healing. You do not have to suffer in the darkness alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I value a client-centered, systems theory approach to helping you create change. I utilize evidence-based methods in my practice that are individualized to you. I respect this in my work with clients by utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions including play, sand miniatures, narrative therapy, and expressive arts along with traditional talk therapy. I have been trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) 1 &amp; 2 and trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced both acute and complex trauma. I have experience working with survivors of abuse, human trafficking, individuals in the LGBTQ+ community and with individuals who have experienced foster\/adoption dynamics. I have experience working with infant attachment, birth trauma, post-partum depression, and strengthening parent\/child relationships. I have completed training and certifications that focus on infant mental health and attachment. I worked with families at Arkansas Children\u2019s Hospital as a Certified Child Life Specialist and understand the unique dynamics of medical trauma and grief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I welcome you to a non-judgmental and supportive experience in counseling. I believe we all have the ability to heal through our own innate resiliency. You are not a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. You are a person who deserves to feel respect and trust in yourself. As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside my areas of expertise, I can provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication management, to get you the help you need.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(LPC)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":10724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-searcy","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
