Meet the
Wall Breaker
It is common to feel anxious about the idea of counseling. You are here because you have already tried everything you could think of and nothing has worked so far. Perhaps you have been to counseling before and had a negative experience. The idea of starting over again can be terrifying.
I help clients who have had multiple unsuccessful therapy attempts finally find someone who gets them. We are on a mission to find your authentic self and become the badass you are.
Whether you are here because of internal chaos or external struggles, you've realized you are out of answers. My job is to help you identify the missing pieces. In our therapeutic relationship, you are the expert in your own life.

Time and time again, people have warned me it will take them a while to open up. It is different in therapy with me because I TOTALLY get the Wall — and I respect it. I am notorious for helping uncomfortable people feel comfortable.
There is a gradual shift and the wall begins to collapse. And when that wall collapses, you begin to find your authentic self. Together we will build your life brand.
No two stories are the same and clients should never be treated the same. We all think, behave, and feel differently. It is my job to help you identify underlying themes in your life and evaluate your distinct values and beliefs.
One of the most terrifying emotions is feeling alone. Regardless of the challenges you are facing, I will be there to provide support and assist you in working through your personal challenges.
Together we will create a safe space for you to learn to just be you — a place where you can learn to completely share your heart with another human. Your wellbeing is my top priority.

The Person
Behind the Practice
My name is Keesha Parker and counseling is something I have wanted to do since adolescence. I remember sitting with my friends, listening to their stories, and wanting to help.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Arkansas, Fort Smith in 2007, and my Masters in Science in Clinical Mental Health at the University of Fayetteville in 2013.
My counseling career began in January 2014. I opened Coastal Counseling in September 2015 and in 2018 it became my full-time practice.
A lot of therapists like to hide who they are — I don't believe this works. I show up authentically from day one. Sometimes my life is messy too. As humans, none of us are immune from pain and I believe it's important to normalize that the struggle is REAL.
In case you haven't got the hint from the name "Coastal Counseling" or the beachy photos — I'm pretty obsessed with the ocean. My own personal healing happened at the beach. I hope to help you find your own "safe and happy" place too.
