Life can be overwhelming when you're carrying anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, addiction, or simply trying to keep everything together. You may feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to go next. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating. My goal is to provide a space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and start making meaningful progress toward the life you want.
I am open minded, kind, direct, and empowering. I encourage others to improve their skills.
My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.
I work to get to know my client's, to understand where they are coming from, and to provide feedback with a goal to promote healing and positive change. I draw on my 37 years of work in this counseling, and multiple levels of education.
Hi. I'm Susan (Simmons) Martinelli and, simply stated, "I love people"...every individual one. I have over 30 years' experience in the mental health field with people who may also suffer with substance use and addiction or vice versa. The two often go hand-in-hand and it can be a devastating and life-changing moment to realize you possibly have either a mental illness and/ or a substance/ alcohol use problem. I simply want to help you find your healthy path...whatever that is for you. I look forward to learning about you as a person and what we can accomplish together.
I have over 15 years of experience within the mental health field. I hold a PhD in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Education and Supervision. I am also a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in AR. I am also a Principal Investigator on many clinical trials for various companies.
I am a graduate of Arkansas Tech University and completed the Rehabilitation Counseling program through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to obtain my Master's degree. I have worked in several positions that have allowed me to gain experience in helping those who suffer from drug addiction, mental illness, abuse survivors, and so much more. A few of the facilities I have worked with include Freedom House, Birchtree Communities, Pinnacle Pointe Outpatient, and RPI (Real Practices Inc) all in the Russellville area. My biggest take-away from my experiences is that each person is different and there cannot be a "one-size fits all" when it comes to therapy and treatment. I enjoy getting to know a person as an individual and learning what that person needs in order to improve and be their best self.
Welcome and congratulations on taking this step! I work with individuals who struggle with self-image, anxiety, depression, and self-motivation. I have been practicing for over 8 years. I will work with you to find your strengths and aid in building with you from there.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding the right therapist in Fayetteville starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something like postpartum support or grief, identifying your goals can help you narrow your search. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Fayetteville is home to a wide range of mental health providers, from therapists near the University of Arkansas campus to practices across Northwest Arkansas. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. If you're considering couples therapy, medication management, or care for a specific condition like ADHD or trauma, look for a provider who lists that as a specialty.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
