Heather R McConnell, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor I provide counseling services to Children, Adolescents, and Adults. For more information, go to www. My counseling style is warm and interactive.

I think one of the most important things you need to know about me is that I absolutely love what I do and work very hard to take great care of my clients. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach to counseling combines cognitive-behavioral and person-centered techniques and I will tailor our time together to meet your unique and specific needs. I enjoy

dialogue with my clients and will roll up my sleeves to work hard right alongside you. We will laugh and I will call you on your stuff when needed. After so many years of doing this, I can detect BS pretty well and honestly I'm pretty much unshockable. I'm not afraid to talk about anything you want or need to talk about, so let's get it all out there, deal with it and move on to a healthier, happier life! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. Now for the degrees, experience, and expertise:

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2001. I then went on to complete my Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling also from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2003. I was trained by a Behavior Analyst for 2 years and have extensive experience working with behavioral problems and children on the Autism spectrum. I worked at Heartlight Ministries in Longview, TX, a residential treatment center for adolescents, as both a counselor and their director of counseling from 2004-2006. I opened the doors of my private practice in 2006 and have been here ever since! I have over twelve years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am licensed by The Arkansas State Board of Examiners in Counseling as well as The Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors and is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I am also the Training Coordinator and a PRIDE Trainer for The CALL in Pope County. The CALL works tirelessly to recruit and train families to foster and adopt children that are in foster care throughout the state of Arkansas. It is a privilege to volunteer and serve with this incredible organization. In my spare time, I am always up for an adventure, I am passionate about the outdoors and love to go skiing, hiking, and camping with my friends and family. I also enjoy lazy days at the lake or beach, traveling, running, reading, knitting, and a good glass (or 2 or 3) of sweet tea.
