Megan Huckaby, MSW, LMSW

Seeking help for something as stigmatized as mental health is in my opinion one of the most difficult yet rewarding decisions one can make. It is my goal as a therapist to come along side you and help peel back the intricate layers of your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, then teach you how to listen to your body, cope healthily with everyday life, and live in the present.

I am passionate about working with teens and young adults as they explore the world around them and how they fit into it, as well as the geriatric population and the challenges associated with aging. Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy are both part of my therapeutic approach.

My career in this field began in 2020 with 1.5 years as a case manager with the geriatric population, followed by 3 years as a school-based mental health professional. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock awarded me my Masters in Social Work in 2020 after I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work in 2017 with a minor in Sociology from Missouri Southern State University.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, dog, and extended family and friends, as well as crafting, reading, or camping.

Megan Huckaby has been serving the NWA community as a mental health therapist for nearly 2 years, primarily in the primary and intermediate school systems. She loves working with children and adults who come with a wide range of difficulties they would like to address, including, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and childhood neglect, divorce related issues, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and obsessive/compulsive disorder, abandonment, and anger management, along with other serious mental health issues. 

Megan holds a Masters Degree in Social Work. While she favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a top-down approach for helping to challenge unwanted thoughts, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a bottom-up approach that helps individuals identify and mindfully accept their feelings, she also believes strongly in an eclectic approach with methods from Play Therapy and other helpful models of mental health therapy. 

Family and individual therapy are important elements, especially in regard to child therapy. She requires that parents accompany and/or meet with her alone at least once per month to help keep child therapy on track. Also important to her clinical skill is continuing education.
