About me

I am a licensed counselor in Arkansas with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, psychodynamic, and Gestalt counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Allen is great at what he does! He really got to know me so he could learn how best to help me. He stays on my side but stays real with me. He is great during session, but he always checks in on me through messages in between sessions.

What can I say about Allen Busby? He is calm and caring, attentive with helpful advice. He is funny and an overall joy to speak with. Having done plenty of online therapy in the past I've only worked with a couple of therapists who I can say this about. I never feel like I'm bothering him, or not worth his time. I feel heard when I speak with him and appreciate his candor.
