about Changing Mindsets Behavioral Health
Sheena Garrard, MS-LPC, Arkansas and New Mexico.
Ready to stop feeling out of control, depressed, or frequently sad. The feeling of grief, depression, and anger is just like a cave –everything seems dark like there's no way out and you’re constantly moving around lost without any direction.
Well, now you have a therapist to help you find your purpose.
"The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for."
-Joseph Campbell-
I'm here to help you heal, grow, and find your purpose.
Right now, you may feel...
Hurt. Depressed. Angry. Overwhelmed.
Every time you feel like you have control over your emotions, another life-changing event happens.
You are tired of struggling with anger, grief, and depression but you have responsibilities and people who depend on you.
Well, this is a space for you.
Expectations
I’m dedicated to supporting people like you. People who are misunderstood, hardworking, and willing to learn.
Clients work with me because they’re ready for change and want to feel supported and better about themselves.
I have years of experience helping adults improve self-esteem, develop anger management skills, and learn to stop unhealthy thoughts about themselves, others, and situations.
I often use cognitive behavioral therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With CBT, we’ll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to improve your feelings.
About Changing Mindsets Behavioral Health
Trust
I know from first-hand experience that picking up that 1000lb phone is scary, but….
As a therapist, I’ve been there and worked through grief and loss. I’ve conquered my fears of having to tell someone about my ups and downs.
I can help you conquer whatever has kept you on this emotional roller-coaster.
What I want for my clients
I want you to leave every session feeling like your time was productive and well spent.
Here you will find a safe, non-judgmental space to practice your skills.
Just know the work you do will be challenging but rewarding. As you grow and break those old thinking patterns, you will become a better version of yourself.
