    Why Our Intake Process Matters

    At Kati Wells CBT, we believe thoughtful care starts with the right fit. Our intake process is designed to better understand your needs and connect you with the provider or services that can best support your goals. We know beginning therapy can feel intimidating, which is why your first session is focused on getting to know you—not pressuring you to share everything all at once. Watch the video to learn more about our approach to intake and client care.

    METHODS USED IN OUR CLINIC

    At Kati Wells CBT, we utilize a range of evidence-based methods to provide personalized care tailored to your needs. From Traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and change negative thinking patterns, to Schema Therapy, addressing deeply rooted beliefs formed in childhood, each approach is designed to support meaningful change. We offer Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) for trauma and PTSD, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and interpersonal challenges, and Recovery-Oriented CBT to foster empowerment and resiliency. For anxiety-related issues, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP/ExRP) focuses on facing fears in a controlled environment, while Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)  provides targeted support for trauma survivors, particularly first responders and high-stakes professionals. Additionally, we are trained in Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT), a structured method to challenge and reshape inaccurate thoughts. Explore these methods and how they can benefit you by visiting our Services page.

    WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

    Kati Wells is the best therapist in the state. Many therapists and psychiatric professionals claim to integrate CBT into their practice because it is the gold standard in psychiatric treatment however, this does not mean they possess certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Kati Wells does. If one is interested in finding a therapist with CBT certification they would need to contact the Beck Institute, the organization responsible for the creation of CBT, and be provided with a list of certified professionals in their state. There are two in the state of Arkansas and I have contacted the offices of both. Ms. Wells had an appointment scheduled with me within the week, where the other is not taking appointments, and tried to pawn me off onto one of her trainees.

    Once I was able to understand that what I was thinking had so much impact on how I felt and what I did, life became easier to deal with. I am happy I found tools that have equipped me in my fight against anxiety.

    Leah Carvajal, LPC

    I moved here from another part of the country where I had CBT.  I found out pretty soon that not all CBT is alike and was struggling to find someone that knew how to help me in the way that I had been previously helped.  I found Kati and asked a lot of questions.  Her knowledge is impressive and I was able to continue with the type of therapy I wanted.
