Do you get a lump in your throat when you think about going to see a therapist, yet you treasure the idea of really being known and having someone to walk beside you through a difficult time? If you’re conflicted about seeking help, I am a good choice.
One of my professional strengths is helping you feel comfortable in a relationship that involves intimate conversation. I am certified in sex therapy by the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists. I am the second therapist in Arkansas to receive this certification, and one of only 200 in the United States.
I am creative, fun loving and an out-of- the-box thinker. My genuineness and years of experience restoring and enhancing relationships, in a variety of settings, can be a treasure chest for you.

Go ahead, take the first step, and give me a call, so new richness in the quality of your life can be discovered.

Donnabelle Hess
Ph.D. MAS, MHR, BA

Education & Training:
PhD in Military Sociology, University of Oklahoma
MA in Marriage & Family Sciences, National University
MHR in Human Relations, University of Oklahoma
BA in Sociology, University of Oklahoma
As a licensed associate therapist specializing in marriage and family therapy, I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate emotional, relational, and systemic challenges. My approach is grounded in systems theory, which emphasizes how our well-being is shaped by the quality of our relationships and the environments we live in.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their struggles, strengthen communication, and build healthier connections.
I focus extensively on couples and family therapy, supporting clients with issues such as communication breakdowns, conflict, parenting stress, infidelity, life transitions, and emotional disconnection. Whether helping partners rebuild trust or guiding families toward greater harmony, I use evidence-based practices to foster insight, empathy, and resilience. My training in Marriage and Family Sciences allows me to work holistically with diverse relational systems from traditional nuclear families to blended, multigenerational, and chosen families.
In addition to my work with civilian families, I have developed a specialized expertise in supporting military families. As a military work/life consultant for the U.S. Department of the Air Force at Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base in Germany, I worked with service members and their families from a wide range of cultural and national backgrounds. This role deepened my understanding of the unique stressors of military life, including frequent relocations, extended deployments, long-distance parenting, and reintegration.
During that time, I collaborated with NATO experts to help develop a global model for military child well-being and contributed to programs focused on family readiness, parenting, eldercare, conflict resolution, and life transitions
-resources that remain relevant to all families navigating stress and change.
At the core of my work is a passion for helping people build more supportive, connected, and emotionally fulfilling relationships. Whether you’re seeking support as a couple, navigating family dynamics, or addressing individual challenges that affect your relationships, I bring both clinical skill and deep compassion to our work together.
