Hello and welcome! Seeking therapy takes a lot of courage and finding the right therapist is an important part of that process. I have experience working with adults facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, severe mental illness, and problems with motivation and self-esteem.
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.
I am open minded, kind, direct, and empowering. I encourage others to improve their skills.

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 believe we’re all doing the best we can, and that belief guides my work as a therapist. I care deeply about people and feel honored to be someone you can bring the hard things to. I’m down-to-earth, professional, and shaped by a diverse background that led me to counseling as my life’s work.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Little Rock
Finding addiction therapists in Little Rock starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can address alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse concerns, and co-occurring mental health needs like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Little Rock has a steady mental health care community, but the right addiction therapist may not be the closest office. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Arkansas while still giving you access to local in-person care when that fits your schedule. Consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and describes a non-judgmental approach to addiction care. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with substance use, behavioral concerns, relapse prevention, and harm reduction before you book.
Addiction therapy in Little Rock can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more manageable. Headway helps you find therapists, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare availability in one place. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
