Charitable Counseling Clinic in NWA

Samaritan Counseling

The Samaritan Counseling Clinic is dedicated to offering compassionate and quality mental health care for adults, teens, children, and couples. Our licensed therapists provide personalized support to help clients navigate challenges, foster growth, and improve their emotional well-being. Whether it's individual therapy, couples counseling, or play therapy our goal is to offer a safe and supportive space for healing and connection.

To ensure that financial barriers don’t prevent anyone from receiving care, our clinic accepts Medicaid and Medicare and offers a free and charitable program for those individuals whose household income falls below 250% of the Federal poverty limit. This commitment to accessibility allows us to reach those who might not otherwise have the means to seek help, reducing obstacles to mental health support in our community. Through these efforts, we aim to make mental health care available to everyone who needs it.
