Meet Christina Felker, LPC
Teen, Adult & Couples Therapist in Farmington, AR
What If Your Next Chapter Could Be Different?
Most people don't begin therapy because they want to revisit the past. They begin because they're tired.
Tired of anxiety making every decision harder than it needs to be. Tired of carrying grief that never seems to get lighter. Tired of second-guessing themselves, feeling disconnected in relationships, or wondering why happiness feels just out of reach.
For couples, it may look a little different. You may still love each other deeply but feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected from one another, or unsure how to find your way back to the relationship you once had.
Christina believes therapy isn't simply about helping you get through difficult seasons. It's about helping you create a life—and relationships—that feel meaningful and connected again.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Christina works with teens (15+), adults, and couples who are ready to move beyond survival mode and begin living with greater confidence, peace, connection, and authenticity. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, life transitions, or relationship concerns, she offers a supportive place to pause, reflect, and begin moving forward with intention.
Imagine Feeling Like Yourself Again
Healing doesn't usually happen in one breakthrough moment. More often, it happens quietly.
One healthy boundary. One difficult conversation. One anxious thought that no longer controls your day. One moment when you and your partner finally feel like you're hearing each other again. One morning where getting out of bed feels just a little easier.
Those moments matter.
Christina helps clients recognize and celebrate those victories because lasting change isn't built on perfection—it's built one small step at a time.
Couples Therapy: Finding Your Way Back to Each Other
Relationships can become painful when couples find themselves caught in the same patterns over and over again. One person may pursue while the other withdraws. Conversations can quickly become arguments. Small disagreements may begin to represent much deeper feelings of loneliness, rejection, fear, or disconnection.
Christina is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening emotional connection and helping partners better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Rather than simply focusing on who is right or wrong, EFT helps couples slow down and recognize what is happening underneath their conflict. Christina works with couples to identify negative interaction patterns, communicate underlying needs and emotions more effectively, rebuild trust and emotional safety, and create a stronger sense of connection within the relationship.
Couples therapy isn't about creating a relationship without disagreements. It's about learning how to stay connected—even when things are hard.
Therapy That Fits Real Life
Life doesn't happen in a therapist's office. It happens at work, at home, and in relationships. It happens in the middle of ordinary Tuesday afternoons. That's why Christina believes therapy should give you more than insight. It should give you tools you can carry into everyday life.
Together, you'll learn practical strategies for managing overwhelming emotions, responding differently to stress, improving communication, challenging negative thought patterns, strengthening relationships, and developing a healthier relationship with yourself.
Christina is also in the process of completing training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, an approach that helps clients better understand the different parts of themselves that may carry fear, hurt, self-criticism, or protective patterns. This perspective can help clients approach themselves with greater curiosity and compassion while developing a deeper understanding of the emotions and experiences influencing how they respond to life and relationships.
For couples, therapy may also mean learning to recognize the cycle you've become stuck in, understanding what each partner needs beneath the conflict, and finding new ways to reach for one another instead of pulling further apart.
The goal isn't simply to feel better during therapy. The goal is to leave every session with greater understanding and something you can actually use.
You Are More Than the Story Pain Told You
Pain has a way of becoming convincing.
It whispers things like:
"I'm not enough."
"I'll never change."
"Something must be wrong with me."
And in relationships, it can sound like:
"They don't care about me anymore."
"Nothing I say ever gets through."
"Maybe we'll always be like this."
Christina helps clients recognize that these thoughts often develop as responses to difficult experiences—not as reflections of who they truly are or what their relationships are capable of becoming.
Through person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and her ongoing training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Christina helps individuals and couples identify patterns that are no longer serving them, develop healthier perspectives, deepen emotional understanding, and reconnect with their strengths and relationships.
Healing isn't always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about understanding yourself more deeply—and finding a different way forward.
