About Us

Therapy Session Discussion

Founded by Chantal Carter in 2010, NWA Therapy has grown into one of the most trusted and reputable mental health practices in the area.  She had a vision of creating a clinic with a standard of excellence.  Our team of five clinicians is here to support you with more than 80 years combined experience.

Matching with the right provider is vital for you to have a positive experience in therapy.  Our administrative team will help match you with the right clinician to provide you individualized care based on your specific goals.

Here are some quick facts about us...

We treat children as young as 3 years old, adolescents, and adults.

We only offer evidenced based care supported by research including play therapy, Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). 

We offer culturally competent care to LGBTQA+ and BIPOC communities.

We offer services in office in Fayetteville, or via telehealth across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri dependent on the provider.

Explore our range of treatments focused on helping you feel your best. NWA Therapy caters to your individual mental health needs, providing a comprehensive approach to healing.

Individual Therapy

Let us meet you exactly where you're at!  We want to help you explore your own goals for therapy, help you come develop a plan to reach those goals, and support and collaborate with you in this process.   We can address a variety of concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, women's issues, substance use, trauma, grief & loss, and Borderline Personality Disorder. 

Virtual therapy

In office or via telehealth?

The choice is yours!

With rising gas prices, busy schedules, or maybe even a lack of clinicians in rural areas, some people prefer the convenience of virtual care via video telehealth.   Some people would prefer to come in office.  NWA Therapy ofers the convenience of appointments in office in Fayetteville, AR or across the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri with telehealth.

Couples & Families

Sometimes we need help communicating and feeling understood by our loved ones.  Sometimes we need support in parenting and creating the best environment for our kids.  Couples and family counseling can be an important part of therapy!  We are here to facilitate communication and conflict resolution to strengthen relationships, provide parenting support, and address concerning behaviors.

Therapy for children

Therapy for Children & Teens

We work with children as young as three years old as well as adolescents.  Children communicate via play, and play therapy can help kids process feelings they may not have the language to address.  Our great team of providers that work with children and adolescents have training specific to that treating that age group.
