When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you find clarity, calm, and direction. That’s why Evolve Behavioral Health and Therapy, part of the Healthy Connections Community Health Network, is proud to welcome LaShanda Renee Fears, LPC, to our Texarkana and De Queen locations.
With over 20 years of licensed counseling experience and certification in both Arkansas and Texas, LaShanda brings unmatched expertise, empathy, and real-world understanding to every session.

Therapy for Teens, Adults, and Families in Texarkana and De Queen
LaShanda welcomes individuals across the lifespan—from children as young as 4 to older adults. She treats a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. With extensive experience in school-based, outpatient, residential, day treatment, and even correctional mental health settings, she is equipped to support clients no matter where they are in life.
“I don’t have a preference for who I work with,” LaShanda says. “If you come in with an issue and need someone to talk to, I’ll meet you there. We’ll figure it out together.”
She believes therapy should feel comfortable and honest. She encourages patients to speak openly and honestly—even if the therapeutic connection isn’t working. “You’re not going to hurt my feelings if you tell me you’re not vibing with me. I’d rather help you find someone else who can help than watch you stay stuck.”
Serving Miller, Sevier, and Surrounding Counties
LaShanda’s services are available to residents of Miller, Sevier, and neighboring counties, including communities like New Boston, Ashdown, Lockesburg, Horatio, and others. Both Evolve clinic locations offer extended support in partnership with Healthy Connections’ trusted medical teams.
- In Texarkana, patients can also receive primary care from Mandilyn Cottingham, APRN.
- In De Queen, the healthcare team includes Angela Martin, APRN, Autumn Morales, APRN, and Carolin Hockersmith, APRN.
This integrated model means you receive mental and physical healthcare in one place, with providers who work together to support your total well-being.
A Therapist Who’s Been in the Chair
LaShanda’s approach is rooted in deep empathy—not just clinical training. She has personally experienced depression and the loss of a parent, both of which gave her perspective that many therapists can’t offer. She remembers what it felt like to wish someone would simply listen. That’s why she became that person for others.
“I know what it’s like to sit in that chair and feel nervous, unsure, or overwhelmed,” she says. “You don’t have to have the right words. Just show up, and we’ll work through it together.”
Many of her patients arrive feeling stuck—like the mother who couldn’t sleep due to overwhelming stress, or the teen struggling silently with grief. Through gentle guidance, active listening, and proven strategies, LaShanda helps them move toward stability and strength.
