More About Halee Roberts, LCSW

"It is natural to experience pain as well as joy during life. It is not, however, natural to remain in a state of suffering. I believe we are meant to live happy, joyful lives within a background of inner peace. Sometimes life's circumstances throw us off balance and professional help is needed to find our way again. That's what I do, that's my purpose, to help others regain, or possibly even discover for the first time that life is not to be feared or dreaded because of hurtful emotions. Sometimes we get confused or stuck, but help is here. There is no reason to suffer or wait to reach out."

Halee is a person of great compassion and empathy with a non judgmental attitude toward people working out their own life journey. She has over 10 years of professional experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness, all within a Person Centered Approach, working with adults who experience depression, anxiety/panic, relationship problems, sleeping difficulties, and life adjustment issues. In addition to this she has specialized in the area of overwhelming emotions utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals finding it difficult to cope and who might be engaging in overt or covert self destructive behaviors. Childhood abuses, trauma and self esteem enhancement are also part of Halee's specialties as well as bereavement issues.

Halee has had the benefit in her career to travel, performing therapy in different parts of the United States including Alaska. This has given her the ability to have a deeper understanding that there are many different beliefs about life, spirituality, moral behavior and death amongst different people. Therefore she is able to apply a more expansive perspective to people who may or may not fall into a particular region's "norm."

Halee graduated cum laude from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a Bachelors degree in Social Work and went on to complete her Masters Degree in Social Work at UALR as well. She is a seasoned and versatile Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Halee has lived in Northwest Arkansas for a little over a year and is still amazed at the breathtaking beauty of the area. She is an animal lover whose hobbies include yoga, meditation and outdoor activities.
