Therapy in Little Rock, AR & Nearby Areas | Vida Collective Counseling
Empowering women who’ve spent years in survival mode find peace, connection, and joy, so they can lead their families and communities from wholeness, not burnout.
This is your space to slow down, feel seen, and reconnect with the woman you’ve been quietly missing.
Something brought you here today because...
From the outside, people think you have it all together, but inside, you’re running on empty.
Your mind never stops, even at night. You’re always planning, fixing, worrying.
You achieve one goal, and immediately move to the next because slowing down feels unsafe.
You sit in your car before walking into the house, taking one last deep breath before switching back into “mom,” “partner,” or “leader” mode.
You lie in bed beside the person you love, replaying every conversation from the day, wondering why, even surrounded by people, you still feel like something's missing. You want to feel present again to actually enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard for.
As a high-achieving woman you’ve done everything you were supposed to, worked hard, showed up for everyone, and kept it together no matter what.
You want to slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely at peace, but part of you isn’t sure it’s even possible anymore.
You’ve tried podcasts, planners, or “just being positive,” but none of it gets to the root of what’s going on inside.
You’re afraid that if you stop moving, everything you’ve built might fall apart.
Here’s the truth: You learned to tie strength with silence, to smile, keep going, and never let anyone see how much it costs.
But strength doesn’t have to mean holding it all alone. Finding your balance starts when you stop proving you’re okay and start letting yourself be cared for, seen, and supported in return.
At Vida Collective Counseling, we don’t rush healing or measure it in milestones.
We listen to your story, your silence, and the rhythm of the life you’ve been holding together for so long.
Our team approaches therapy with curiosity instead of judgment, compassion instead of pressure, and the belief that healing happens best in community, not isolation.
Each session is an invitation to pause, breathe, and make sense of what your body and heart have been trying to say.
We help you notice patterns that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck guiding you toward a steadier way of living, one grounded in peace, presence, and self-trust.
Because the goal isn’t to become someone new, it’s to remember the woman you’ve always been underneath survival mode, strong, soft, and finally at home in herself.

Maria Gomez, LAC
"She came to therapy feeling unseen within her family, always striving to meet their expectations. Through compassionate exploration, she uncovered old wounds tied to her sense of worth. With time, she set boundaries, made choices aligned with her values, and created space that felt like her own. Today, she maintains a healthier relationship with her family — one built on respect and authenticity — and no longer defines her worth by anyone’s approval but her own."
From Seeking Approval to Self-Acceptance (Anonymous)
"This client began therapy during a severe depressive episode, convinced she should handle everything alone. Most sessions started with “I don’t know,” and she carried deep guilt and self-blame. Over time, she learned to pause, identify her emotions, and name what she truly felt. As she set boundaries and reconnected with her voice, she left a toxic relationship and regained clarity. By the end, her depression had lifted, and she walked away feeling seen, whole, and empowered."
From Avoidance to Empowerment (Anonymous)
"She arrived feeling disconnected, insisting her childhood trauma “didn’t really affect” her — yet her relationships showed otherwise. Through therapy, she realized her anxiety was her body remembering. As she explored attachment wounds, allowed herself to grieve, and embraced compassion, she learned closeness didn’t mean losing control. Today, she lives with peace and safety, now married with a child, honoring the version of herself who once doubted healing was possible."
From “It Didn’t Affect Me” to Healing the Past (Anonymous)
"A high achiever in every area of life, this client still felt perpetually “not enough.” In therapy, she learned that her harsh self-criticism wasn’t a fixed truth but a pattern she could soften. As she practiced compassion, rest, and joy without guilt, her inner critic lost its power. Now she moves through life with balance and acceptance — no longer just knowing she’s enough, but finally feeling it."
