Our Services

We strive to make a positive impact on the lives of adults, youth and families by providing:

individual, group, and family counseling

Healthy Connections offers compassionate care through individual and family counseling. Therapists provide caring and confidential services to help cope with crises and life changes.

 

psychopharmacologic evaluation & medication management

Medication management for mental health is the prescription, administration, and review of medications and their side effects for treatment.

PEDIATRICS THERAPY AND COUNSELING

Build the foundation for playful, healthful, and hopeful living for children and families in Arkansas. We focus on preventing and healing the effects of adverse experiences and toxic stress on children, promoting resiliency and healthy family, school, and community relationships.

coordination with primary care physicians

You do not need to have a Healthy Connections primary care provider in order to take advantage of Evolve Behavioral Health Services and Medication Management. We are a stand-alone program and can work in coordination with your current provider to facilitate treatment.

support groups and group therapy sessions

Support groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. If you’re facing a major illness or stressful life change, you don’t have to go it alone. Talking about your experiences with others may help.

crisis intervention

Methods are used to offer immediate, short-therm help to individuals who experience an event that produces emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral distress or problems. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, dial 911.
