Mr Ben Tidwell

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“An experienced mental health professional who provides a strength-based holistic approach to wellness.”

About Me

As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a space to rediscover your innate resources. I help individuals cultivate lasting wellness by exploring unique strengths and the many facets of your life together. Our collaborative work focuses on what already works well, building on it. This holistic approach suits those seeking comprehensive support. We can navigate challenges and foster overall well-being together.

Approach

With attention to strengths and whole-person wellness, therapy moves at your pace while gently stretching what already helps you cope. I offer sessions in Ward, Arkansas and secure online meetings in English, creating a holding space that feels steady and practical. Sessions blend brief mindfulness practices, guided imagery, focused skill-building for attention and emotion regulation, and collaborative planning so changes carry into everyday life. People facing life transitions, mood or substance concerns, or chronic stress often find this paced, resource-focused approach useful.
