Meet the Argenta Counseling + Wellness team

Argenta Counseling is home to a team of licensed counselors and medication management providers serving communities across Central and Northwest Arkansas.

Each provider brings their own experience, specialties and approach to care, giving you the opportunity to find someone who’s a good fit for you. Choosing who to talk to matters, and our team is here to help you feel more confident in that decision.

finding the right fit

How we help you find the right counselor

Choosing a counselor can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to find someone you feel comfortable opening up to.

At Argenta Counseling and Wellness, we start by learning what you want help with, what matters to you in a provider and any preferences you already have. From there, we recommend counselors who align with those details so you’re not sorting through options that don’t fit.

flexible care

In-person and Telehealth availability

How you meet with your provider can affect how easy it is to stay consistent with care.

At Argenta Counseling, you can choose between in-person and Telehealth sessions based on your schedule, location, and what works best for you. Some people prefer having a set place to go each week, while others need the flexibility to meet from home or between responsibilities.

Both options support ongoing care, with the ability to adjust how you meet if your routine changes.

In-Person Counseling

In-person sessions take place in our West Little Rock, North Little Rock and Bentonville locations and provide a dedicated space away from daily distractions. This can help create a routine and allow you to stay more focused during sessions.

Telehealth Counseling

Telehealth sessions allow you to connect with your provider from anywhere in Arkansas. This option removes travel time and makes it easier to keep appointments, especially with a busy or changing schedule.
