Sincerest apologies if you are waiting for an appointment. Due to large call volume, referrals, and crisis calls we have fallen a bit behind in the normal 24-48 hour response time. If you are in need of services please call 479-264-7307.
Effective Oct 15, 2025 if you request a standing appointment especially for telehealth and fail to keep such with no notification after the 3 time, you will need to call to set up a specific time so others who actively want that appointment time (especially evenings) can have such. If you arrive onsite and don’t receive communication after 10min please notify you are on site. Internet delays sometimes lag on door notifications or none are received during peak afternoon hours as a result of internet service issues.

River Valley Counseling & Therapy will be closed as scheduled on Monday, May 26, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day. As a provider of services to military veterans and their families, it is fitting that we acknowledge the significance of this holiday and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. Today, we encourage everyone to take a moment of silence to honor those who did not return home and express gratitude to those who did. To each and every individual who served, I extend my sincerest appreciation for your service and reaffirm our commitment to prioritizing the mental healthcare needs of our military personnel and veterans.

Our deepest apologies to any who’ve attempted to reach out via messenger. It was discovered last night somehow the auto reply we had set for a year changed and defaulted to an old number. The primary number is 479-264-7307. This has been corrected along with a FAQ section added to our page. We assume an update may have caused that and the lack of adding the new app for businesses. We are constructing a new updated website to add better features and content as well. Thank you all and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience anyone may have experienced

Proud to have had the honor to have officially served 20 years in counseling. This road has been paved with twists, turns, climbs, peaks, and valleys……In short these 20 years have been “a rip-roaring firecracking, roller coaster of a ride -- and we are all the better for having bought a ticket.”
