About Kailee

Kailee Stonebarger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her Master’s degree from the University of Arkansas in December 2016. In addition, Kailee is trained in EMDR therapy. Before working at Wellness and Courage, she spent seven years as a School Counselor, where she deeply valued working with a diverse community of students, teachers, and families. Her experience in education has given her a unique perspective on the mental health needs of children and adolescents and the systems that support them.

In addition to EMDR, Kailee also holds specialized certifications through the American School Counselor Association in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Trauma and Crisis Management, and Working with Students with Special Needs. These certifications reflect her commitment to creating inclusive, compassionate spaces for healing and growth. 

With extensive experience supporting 6th–8th grade students, Kailee has developed a strong understanding of the emotional, developmental, and social challenges faced by young people and their families. She has worked closely with adolescents navigating autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other neurodiverse experiences; providing both direct therapeutic support and advocacy. Her collaborative work with parents and families further enhances her ability to connect with adults seeking guidance, understanding, and practical strategies for their children and themselves.
