Healing Begins with Understanding

Experienced, compassionate counseling for meaningful and lasting change.

At The Art of Healing Counseling Services, I believe effective therapy begins with understanding the whole person—not simply treating symptoms.

With more than 20 years of experience in mental health counseling, I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and significant life transitions.

My approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy, EMDR, and creative therapeutic methods tailored to each individual’s needs.

I provide a confidential, collaborative environment where clients can explore difficult experiences, develop greater self-awareness, and move toward lasting emotional well-being.

Meet Angela Stillwell, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor | Trauma & EMDR Specialist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life’s most challenging transitions.

Throughout my career, I have worked in private practice, integrated behavioral healthcare, clinical leadership, and higher education. My experience includes serving as a Primary Care Behavioral Health Consultant and faculty member at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), where I worked collaboratively with medical professionals to provide comprehensive behavioral healthcare.

My clinical approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, and expressive arts techniques. I believe that meaningful healing involves understanding not only our symptoms, but also the experiences, relationships, and patterns that shape our lives.

I work primarily with adults seeking support for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative therapeutic relationship that respects each person’s individuality, strengths, and capacity for change.
