Having the courage to venture into the world of therapy can be accompanied by many overwhelming feelings such as fear, anxiety, skepticism, and shame.  Just finding the right therapist, in itself, can be a hurdle.  Ideally, this is a person you will be able to connect with and can trust to share some of your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings.

UPDATE - Weekly meetings have ended, but we will continue to do free monthly virtual support groups for parents/guardians of children all ages. 

To our clients, families, team members, and community,

During this tragic time in our country I want to express my heartfelt concern for each of you.

At Behavioral Health Services of Arkansas, the safety of our clients and team members is of the utmost importance. During times of anxiety and uncertainty we take our role as behavioral health care providers with the utmost seriousness. In an effort to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 virus we will be taking extra precautions.

We all have those moments that seem to come from nowhere, and we just need to talk to someone right then. Having to make an appointment, check a schedule, or even just talking about it can feel overwhelming. That’s why Behavioral Health Services of Arkansas is now taking walk-ins for counseling services, Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 3:00pm.

Annually, one in five American adults experience a mental health issue, one in 10 young people experience a period of major depression, and one in 25 Americans live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Despite this, studies show that people with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely.
