Ozark is not a part of the famous Ozark Mountains but was named after them for the similarities found in the landscape compared to Arkansas. Ozark dates back to 1822 when the town was founded as Merricks, after a Revolutionary War veteran and first known European settler to the area. Ozark borders Fort Rucker, the center of U.S. Army Aviation and U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career Center.
Sometimes life can feel like a battlefield where you are always having to watch your step and check over your shoulder. Living this way can be exhausting, but a local therapist can help you feel at ease and manage life with less anxiety and stress.
