Therapy For Kids

For kids from the ages of three to eleven, we may recommend therapy that utilizes play. This form of counseling gives your child the safety of play to express his or her emotions.

If you want to learn more about play therapy at Arkansas Counseling & Wellness, read the information on this page. You can also call to schedule an appointment with us in our North Little Rock office.

Online Counseling

Distance or telemental health, also referred to as online counseling, has gained in popularity in recent years. It’s a great option for patients who may not be able to reach our Central or Northwest Arkansas offices for regular appointments. It gives a greater number of people access to the counseling and therapy services they need.

We’ll be happy to answer your questions and tell you more about our treatment options.
