Feeling Stuck? OUR THERAPISTS PROVIDE Depression Support

At Psychology & Counseling Associates, we provide compassionate depression therapy for residents in Fayetteville, Rogers, and across Northwest Arkansas. Our team helps people explore what’s weighing them down and take steps toward feeling more like themselves again.

Life Feeling Heavier Than It Should?

Depression often grows quietly in the background. Between long work hours, family responsibilities, school stress, and everyday life demands, it can start to influence your mood, energy, and outlook.

You might notice:

  • Less interest in hobbies or activities you used to enjoy
  • Fatigue or low energy that doesn’t seem to lift
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Feeling hopeless or stuck, even about small tasks

Whether it’s something new or has been around for years, our therapists in Fayetteville, Rogers, and NWA can help you unpack these feelings in a safe and supportive environment. You don’t need to have everything figured out — simply taking the first step is enough.

How Depression Shows Up in Daily Life

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes, it’s subtle but persistent:

  • Dragging through the day with little motivation
  • Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
  • Withdrawing from friends, family, or social activities
  • Feeling emotionally numb or irritable
  • Experiencing physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues without a clear cause

Noticing these patterns doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you — it means professional support could help you understand what’s happening and start managing the impact.

REAL PATIENTS

Scott E.
Dawn Martin is an amazing and patient therapist. She agreed to accept me as her patient and allow my then wife to join a few sessions to work on communications. My now ex-wife was so disrespectful not only to me, but to Dawn that she had to ban my ex-wife from the building but agreed to keep seeing me. I was in an emotionally, mentally, verbally and physically abusive marriage (yes, women do those things too), and the only one who ever witnessed and believes that part of my ex-wife is Dawn. She has been so supportive throughout this entire ordeal and helped me realize that I’m not actually in the twilight zone.
Dominique C.
I love this place, love the people, and will continue to come here for years to come.
Krystal U.
I am a patient of Dr. Chapman and highly recommend her for medication services. She has given me excellent care and has helped my mental health tremendously with her expertise. I am so thankful to meet with her and have her guidance on treatment! She is very personable and thorough, I feel that I am in very good hands with her.
Astrid L.
I've been seeing Kathy Jordan for years and she has been an amazing therapist to say the least. I can confidently say her treatment has altered thr course of my life for the better!
Chelsea L.N.
I have been seeing Dr. Chapman forever and I just think she is very competent and knowledgeable about her practice. I have also seen a few therapists in the office. Matt at the Rogers location was incredible, but then I tried to switch to a woman - I don’t remember her name, and she said one of the most offensive and upsetting things she could have possibly said. I’m still giving this place 5 stars though because I do really like Dr. Chapman. She always tries hard to get me the right medications despite my insurance being a huge pain. And because my former therapist Matt was one of the best therapists I’ve had.
Hailey B.
I’ve been going here for about 5 years, and it’s been a tremendous hand in helping me navigate my life mentally. Knowledgeable staff and comforting environment

Your clinician works with you to design a plan tailored to your needs.
