About
Life can be challenging and it's so much easier when we don't have to do it alone.
Pam Goucher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Arkansas and Tennessee with over 30 years of experience. She has worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, parenting and relationship issues.
Pam earned her Bachelor's degree Behavioral Sciences from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor, and her Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Tennessee-Memphis. Her counseling style is warm and interactive. She believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her therapy style is eclectic, though she tends to lean more towards cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and family origin issues.
Pam believes it's important to remember that whatever you're feeling is normal for what you are experiencing. Anyone in your situation would most likely be feeling the same way. You will figure it out together. Pam looks forward to working with you from the very first session.

As a female clinician with deep experience in mental health, I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively toward their goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families in a wide range of clinical settings. My professional experience includes school-based services, adult case management, inpatient psychiatric treatment, therapeutic foster care, and medical social work. Having worked continuously in the mental health field since 1996, I bring a deep understanding of the diverse challenges individuals and families face and a strong commitment to individualized care.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New England. My therapeutic approach integrates solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and practical coping strategies that promote lasting growth and resilience.
In practice, I provide therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transition challenges. I value meeting you where you are and creating a safe, supportive space for healing and personal growth. When you’re ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment and begin this work together.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Conway therapists helps people reduce and overcome codependent habits, which involve sacrificing one’s own needs to meet the needs of others (usually those closest to them). It helps to improve one’s well-being as well as the health of their relationships.
Codependency therapy works by helping the individual recognize, understand, and accept codependent patterns — including why and how they might’ve developed. In addition, it focuses on helping the individual to kick these tendencies and build more balanced relationships that allow them to support others without neglecting their own needs.
Codependency therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Codependent counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on the exact needs of the client as well as the severity of their codependent challenges and other needs or preferences.
If you do feel as though you are resonating with any of the questions above, therapy for Dependent Personality disorder may well prove to be the answer. Reach out today to get scheduled.
So, as we have already established above, the vast majority of relationships feature some degree of dependency and it is important to note that this is perfectly natural. It is when this dependency becomes codependency in a psychological context that things may start to become a little darker for the sufferer.
People in need of Codependency counseling or therapy for Dependent Personality disorder will likely find themselves in relationships where they simply cannot function without the validation of another person. They will exhibit signs of very low self-esteem and their whole existence will be centered around this other individual. Such a person could be a parent, who themselves have experienced problems with addiction or other issues in their earlier life; a partner, sibling or anyone that becomes the be-all-and-end-all to the codependent individual.
If you feel as though you have stumbled across a page on the internet that really seems to be ticking all the right boxes for the way in which you feel, let this be the first step on your journey to a way of life where you enjoy relationships with a healthy level of dependency.Why not get in touch with Thriveworks Conway today and look at arranging that all-important first session? We’re here to help. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances.
