Our Story
Therapeutic Family Services began as a residential youth facility in Gurdon, Arkansas. We saw kids struggling, families in crisis, and a community that needed more than what traditional services could offer.
As we recognized the need for broader, more accessible behavioral health services, we transitioned to an outpatient model. We expanded our age range, opened new locations, and grew our team—but we never forgot why we started.
What began as a small residential program has grown into a comprehensive behavioral health agency with six locations across Arkansas. Our mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, community-focused mental health care for individuals and families.
Accessible
Care that meets you where you are—in the clinic, at school, at home, or through telehealth. Six locations across Arkansas and growing.
Compassionate
Every person who walks through our doors deserves dignity, respect, and genuine care. We view setbacks as stepping-stones and celebrate every client’s progress.
Community-Focused
We’re deeply connected to the communities we serve. We sponsor local events, support schools, and show up where we’re needed.
What Makes Us Different
We’re large enough to offer comprehensive services—therapy, psychiatric care, case management, and crisis support—yet small enough to truly know our clients and meet them where they are.
Our team is deeply connected to the communities we serve. Clients receive consistent, compassionate care from people who genuinely care about their wellbeing. At TFS, you are more than a diagnosis on a piece of paper. Our clients are our calling.
What sets TFS apart is our family values. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you’ve found your home for all your mental health needs.
Mental Health Professionals
Licensed therapists providing individual, group, and family counseling grounded in evidence-based practices. They collaborate with you to set clear goals and track progress.
Paraprofessionals
Trained support staff offering day-to-day help that turns your treatment plan into action. Skill-building, coaching, crisis interventions, and community resource connections.
Medical Staff
Psychiatric APRNs who perform assessments, prescribe medications when appropriate, and coordinate closely with your therapist for connected, consistent care.
Our Culture: Compassion Starts with Our Staff
Compassion is the foundation of how we care for our clients. It allows us to understand their struggles, support their growth, and give our best work to every individual we serve.
That same compassion extends to our staff. Our management, medical, professional, and paraprofessional teams genuinely care for one another. We’ve created a supportive culture that directly strengthens how we serve our clients.
TFS is a fulfilling place to work. Our co-workers become our family. We love and support each other on a personal level, which translates into the care we give to clients and their families.
In Our Communities
We don’t just work in Arkansas communities—we’re part of them. TFS sponsors local groups and community activities throughout the year. We donate to school clubs, church events, and community organizations.
We believe mental health care is community care. When communities are strong, families are stronger. That’s why we show up—not just as a service provider, but as a neighbor.
