What Our Clients Say:

  • "Love this place. All the therapists are very nice and strive to help their clients."

    32 year old female, Huntsville, Arkansas

  • "I love working with Sara...

    I've worked with her for a few months for depression, anxiety, and autism. She tailors each session to MY needs that day rather than having her own strict "itinerary". She quickly notices my behaviors like fidgeting or being distracted. Right away, she finds a way to get me back on track. Sometimes that is re-focusing on the main idea, and sometimes it's simply taking a short break from a difficult topic with one that is less intense. She is all around wonderful!”

    25 year old female, Fayetteville, Arkansas

  • "Extremely personable. Very attentive, even virtually. My child loves . Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable. Has enlightened me on several subjects regarding my child. Would definitely recommend!"

    Parent of 5yo, Bentonville, Arkansas

  • "A great place to get services for children on the Spectrum!"

    Parent of 14yo male in Fayetteville, AR

  • “This clinic has around half a dozen therapists at this time, a sensory gym, a LEGO room, and more.

    In addition, they offer a LEGO group therapy for children on the autism spectrum or with similar needs for practicing social skills.

    While I’ve not personally interacted with therapists other than Sara, I’ve spoken with other parents in the waiting room and heard nothing but praise. The Counseling Affect is an excellent mental and behavioral health clinic for children, and I imagine it's pretty great for adults too.“

    Parent of 10 yo boy

  • "My children have seen Sara at The Counseling Affect for several years now.

    They love seeing her and have directly benefited from her guidance for them. Sara has also requested family sessions when it became clear that my husband and I could make changes that would better support our children, and it's improved life immensely for all of us. I cannot speak highly enough of the difference she has made in my family.”
