Perhaps you've tried other counseling and therapy, but didn't see the progress you hoped for. We use the tools unique to psychologists to first arrive at an accurate diagnosis so the appropriate, individualized treatment can be developed using the most effective therapy for you, your child, or your family.
Individual
Counseling
From depression and anxiety to trauma, abuse, addiction or anything in between, we will first accurately diagnose you or your loved one through proper testing, then walk together through a custom treatment plan that goes beyond another counseling session.
Dr. Thornton has become the only therapist in the Fort Smith area that I will refer to for individual and family therapy. We have used him within our own family and I have also referred many adolescents (via their parents) to him for help with a variety of issues. The parents of these teens have been amazed at the progress of their children and are incredibly impressed with his counseling skills and level of expertise. Dr. Thornton is the consummate professional with confidentiality being the core of his practice and his uncanny ability to develop rapport with people of all ages. I highly recommend him and am confident you will be 100% satisfied with the care you receive.
