About
As a person who lives with a physical disability, I know first-hand how unpredictable life can be and the trauma and trials we may face.. I would love an opportunity to assist and empower you with navigating life's issues with dignity, tools and grace.
I am an advocate, educator and professional counselor with nearly 20 years of experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and was a Certified School Counselor. I work with individuals, teens, families and couples.
I take an empowering, affirming and encouraging approach while allowing clients to be the expert on what brings them to therapy. I will listen, collaborate with you on goal creation, while holding you accountable and challenging you to grow in the therapeutic relationship.
I am glad that you are here and look forward to the possibility and privilege of working with you on this journey.

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 professional woman, mother and grandmother, I have navigated many life circumstances and challenges which contribute to the well rounded education inherent in a mental health career.
I am a LCSW licensed in 1989. Much of my career has been spent with military members and their families affording me with knowledge and insight into the complexities of military service. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I understand the burdens these painful circumstances bring. I believe in meeting clients where they are with compassion and empathy, and I believe in the indomitable human spirit.
As a LCSW, I've had years of training in multiple methods of working with trauma including CBT, DBT, CBT-PTSD, ACT, Ego State, and EMDR. I believe in the worth of every individual and no two experiences are the same. I believe empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach set the stage for positive client outcomes.
In choosing to engage in therapy with me, I hope you will find warmth and acceptance, a listening ear and understanding heart. Once you engage, you will find the process fluid, with you in charge of your goals and outcomes while I provide tools, support, feedback, and encouragement along the way.

As an African American female raised in a family that has experienced poverty, trauma, addiction, and a multitude of other major life stressors, I am no stranger to adversity. These life experiences have instilled a deep commitment to learning, humility, and compassion for others. I will always advocate for those willing to overcome life's challenges.
Janet Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. She specializes in supporting others through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, gender identity, personality disorders, and stress. Janet began her career working in child welfare with the Department of Human Services before working with children with behavioral health disorders and dysfunctional home lives. Janet has provided behavioral health therapy for children, adults, and families, school-based therapy for children, and residential treatment for adolescents recovering from addiction. She also has 3 years of experience in hospice care.
Janet has a Master's in Social Work from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. She takes a holistic approach, providing a safe and supportive environment for personal growth, healing, and transformation. Behavioral and developmental theories guide her work, and she utilizes trauma-informed and client-centered therapeutic interventions.
Janet believes the most significant impact of fear is its ability to paralyze us. Fear can prevent us from pursuing our dreams and lead to missed opportunities and a life unfulfilled. In this journey, Janet can help you discover that the true essence of bravery lies not in the absence of fear, but in the determination to rise above it.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Often with couples, I find that each member is “stuck” in an old pattern of reacting in relationships. These patterns often come from early experiences with family. Understanding our patterns is often helpful. Couples I see have difficulties communicating, and I am quick to teach communication skills. Most couples that are successful in therapy soon realize that they must actively shape the relationship.
I teach a variety of tools in therapy. Often we focus on:
I often know a client is making progress not when they are happy, but they are calmer in their struggles with life and feeling the courage to try new things. Also, I usually see progress when a client puts their own needs first.
A great deal of therapy does not really happen in sessions. Therapy happens when the client tries new “experiments” on how to deal with the real world. The client’s time with me is often a planning session for these new efforts.
Therapy always starts with a discussion of where the client has been. Clients are often eager to tell about the troubles they have had in life, but they should be prepared to discuss where they want to go and what they want to achieve. Clients in couples therapy often find that there is something they need to be willing to give up to keep the relationship healthy. Often, it is their own anger.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
