About Wellness & Courage

Wellness & Courage Counseling Services was founded by 2 therapist cousins, who shared a dream. This dream was to create a group practice filled with like-minded professionals who share a desire to help others in the community live their best lives. Wendy J. Johnson and Jamy Hunter are second cousins who had never met prior to September 2016. However, they had an immediate connection. Their individual dreams became a reality in March 2018, when Wellness & Courage in Downtown Fayetteville was born. Farmington and Bentonville came soon after, in 2021. They started with 1 location and 4 therapists, which has grown into 3 clinics with 35 therapists. They grew their business by 400% in the first 3 years. Wendy and Jamy are proud of the diverse team that they have created: Male, Female, Black, White, Asian American, Native American, Iranian American, LBGTQ+, heterosexual, Christian, and non-Christian.

Wendy and Jamy decided on the name “Wellness & Courage” because in order to obtain a state of wellness, one must have the courage to begin working toward that elusive, yet important, goal.

Becoming the best version of yourself is never easy, but it is always worth it. Having the ability to do something that frightens you, such as working on becoming the best version of yourself is, by definition, courageous.
