Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews Becca Ferguson Therapist “How to deal with trauma while you’re surrounded by it” Biography Have you ever wanted to meet a therapist who knows their stuff and “gets it”? Becca is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northwest Arkansas who prides herself on being a real life human being to help you on your journey. Her passion for teaching and infectious attitude keeps you motivated on your mental health journey. About Becca Well well well... my story? Now, that's a loaded question. When people ask me why I became a therapist, I automatically feel like an old Norman Rockwell painting where I'm the old lady that sits in a rocking chair by the fireplace and all the kids are so intrigued by what I have to say! What a dream!  The thing is, my story isn't an easy one to digest. There is no "one reason" why I became a therapist. I truly believe that I was built for the helping field and all that comes with it. However, that doesn't mean that I have all my shit together 24/7. I pride myself in being a therapist that goes to therapy. That means, every piece of content that you read from me, is coming from a person that is going through the stuff too. I was born in Buffalo, New York and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. I understand the small town life and how it can make a huge impact on you. When I graduated from high school, I went to college at University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas. I got my bachelors degree in Radio/Television/Video and Strategic Communications. I know, it's a little far off from therapy! As I sat in the anchor chair informing others of big news, I learned how much I loved helping people. After I graduated, I wanted to combine the skills I learned in college towards my experience in ministry. I had always been involved in religious organizations so I thought that's where I was supposed to be. Little did I know that it would become a huge part of my story. After I gave it a shot, my short stint as a youth minister ended and  I decided that my gifts were a better fit for therapy. I got my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019 from Henderson State University. I completed my requirements as Licensed Associate Counselor in 2021 and decided that it was time to embrace private practice. I continue to develop my skills with each client I meet. My experience lies in suicide intervention, crisis management, trauma informed therapy, and treatment of eating disorders. I treat my clients through person-centered therapy and utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe it's critical for each client to have a unique treatment plan - no two clients are alike and they deserve to be treated as so. As my private practice has grown, I have learned that I don't have the ability to help every person that comes through my door with individual counseling. With that tough realization, I decided to mix things up! I now offer online courses, group therapy and public speaking. With my gifts in communication, I'm able to help more people at one time and encourage them to seek their own therapist. My life experience makes me a "real life human" with an attitude and mission to help people not experience the abuse and mistreatment that I did. With me, you are understood and cared for.
