Connect with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in Sherwood, AR

I am Dr. Teressa Whitmore, PhD, LPC, providing compassionate, individualized therapy for adolescents, adults, and families. I focus not only on what's wrong, but on what's strong. Together, we'll build coping skills, address emotional and relationship challenges, and create practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change.

So, here you are... truly trying to figure out life. You have set goals, achieved them, and you're living in those successes right now. The thing is, as you look around, you don't see other members of your original community. Oh, this is not the first time you've been one of the few or even one of one, but this is a new level. This feels different.

I help clients identify behavioral patterns that no longer serve them and replace them with healthier ways of thinking, believing, and doing. Empathy, strong rapport and clear communication are essential to building the trust needed to create lasting and meaningful change.

I am licensed with 7 years of professional work experience. My clientele includes helping people with stress and anxiety, relationship trauma, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have strengths that will assist you in discovering your true SELF in the things that challenge you

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an Educational Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience in managing and de-escalating crisis situations, assisting clients in working through anxiety, depression, grief, anger, substance use issues, relational conflict, and life transitions.

I'm here inviting all those willing to take charge of their lives right now and become the best version of themselves in a safe judgment-free zone. Together, we'll work toward you feeling empowered, confident, and in control of your emotions and behaviors.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, I'm here to provide a supportive space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and move toward the life you want.

My goal is to join clients in their journey for change by providing empathy, validation of experiences, and a spirit of exploration in a safe space. I believe that a holistic approach emphasizing an individual's strengths that considers unique needs and preferences is most effective for achieving lasting change.

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are — without judgment or pressure — and walking with you on your path as you rediscover your strength, resilience, and sense of self. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe and empowering, so real healing and growth can happen at your pace.

Few of us make it through life without some degree of trauma. I am trained and experienced in working with complex trauma, PTSD, and the pain from bullying and rejection. I want to partner with you to understand what happened to you and how that has impacted your development and relationships.

In therapy, I meet you where you are. Together, we will work on a treatment plan specific to your needs that gives you the power to make positive changes bringing consistent results in your life. I focus on depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, PTSD, and relationship issues.

I'm an LMFT who works with high-achievers dealing with burnout and identity questions, couples navigating real friction, and people working through a faith shift. If you're someone who thinks hard about your life but feels stuck anyway, we'll probably work well together.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, you are not alone-and you don't have to face it by yourself. Therapy can be a place where you finally feel heard, understood, and supported while working toward real, lasting change.

Life can be full of challenges, but with the right support, healing is always possible. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, or navigating life transitions, I focus on helping you build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.

I work to build a relationship of deep empathy and connection with my clients in addition to providing mindfulness tools for working with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem, relationship struggles, career transitions, grief, and interpersonal conflict.

I have a PhD in Marriage & Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana Monroe, MS, Marriage & Family Therapy, and Harding University. I work with adults navigating trauma and women's issues. I provide individual therapy focused on your unique needs and goals.

Life can feel heavy sometimes — full of uncertainty, worry, or self-doubt. As a therapist, I provide a calm, supportive space to explore what’s weighing you down and rediscover your sense of direction. Together, we’ll build insight, confidence, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
