Do you feel lost and broken? Does life seem hopeless right now? It’s not. Your trauma and pain can actually be an essential part of transforming your life.

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.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or trying to manage the effects of past trauma while also navigating relationships or family challenges. It can feel exhausting trying to handle everything on your own.
I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, trauma, and relationship stress, helping you feel more supported, understood, and able to move forward with confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Little Rock
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Little Rock starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or something specific to your experience as an LGBTQIA+ person, a provider with affirming training can make a meaningful difference. Look for licensed professionals — such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, or psychiatrists — who have specific experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and who create a space where your identity is respected, not questioned.
In a smaller metro area like Little Rock, the number of local affirming providers may feel limited compared to larger cities. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Arkansas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ care. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty — whether that's a provider's therapeutic approach, their availability, or whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions.
Therapy in Little Rock can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. 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 visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
