Medication Management

From Dr. Price: I believe in utilizing evidence-based psychiatric interventions to help people make positive changes in their lives. I will have an honest and open conversation with you about the possible benefits, risks, and side effects of the treatments we consider. I take my oath to do no harm seriously. I feel strongly that engendering or perpetuating addiction for profit is wrong, and I avoid habit-forming drugs in my practice.

Trauma

When most people think of “trauma”, they think of shocking external events, such as a debilitating car accident, a rape, a house fire, being robbed at gunpoint. While all those “big T(rauma) events” certainly would elicit some dysfunctional or distressing symptoms within the majority of us, that is not all that mental health professionals qualify as trauma. In fact, in the mental health field, trauma is not understood as any external events at all, but rather as this:

“Trauma is the individual, subjective response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences.”

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. Before kids have the necessary vocabulary to discuss big ideas, play therapy can offer a great solution to allow us into the child’s thought process and potential therapy needs. 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 Benton or North Little Rock office for regular appointments. It gives a greater number of people access to the counseling and therapy services they need. If you’re interested in learning more about the telemental health services available at Arkansas Counseling & Wellness, keep reading and please don’t hesitate to call our team. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and tell you more about our treatment options.

Couples & Family Therapy

If you and your loved ones are having difficulty communicating or functioning as a family unit, couples and family therapy may be right for you. At Arkansas Counseling & Wellness, we are happy to offer therapy services for couples and families to help them communicate more clearly, address conflict, and develop skills to work together to address family problems. If you’re interested in learning more about couples and family therapy, read this page and call to find out more or schedule an appointment with the Arkansas Counseling & Wellness team in North Little Rock or Benton.

Individual

For many people, the best way to address mental health and emotional concerns and achieve goals is to work one-on-one with a counselor. If you determine you want to move forward with individual therapy, you should feel free to call our team to learn more or schedule your first appointment. We look forward to helping you achieve all of your treatment goals.
