Dent is a fantastic therapist overall. Highly recommend him!

Reviewed September 2024

Compassionate and chill while getting right to the heart of therapy. Dent provided interventions in the very first session that brought emotional relief and a vision for what was next. He provided helpful feedback often to keep me focus on the new skills I was integrating.

More about Wallace

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a therapist in Arkansas with over 25 years experience in mental health as a clinician and educator. I also have thirty years of meditation experience and am a certified teacher of mindfulness and compassion meditation, as well as the author of Pursuing Purpose: A Guide to Finding Meaning Through Meditation. I have worked with clients on a wide variety of issues, including stress management, depression anxiety, emotional and psychotic disorders, relationships, sexuality, shame, hopelessness and histories of trauma and abuse.

My therapy approach is compassion-oriented, and I strive to help my clients find more purpose, self-compassion and meaning in their lives. I approach my clients with warmth and acceptance. The therapeutic bond is very sacred to me and I strive to show up with honesty, integrity and authenticity. I believe very much in autonomy and the capacity to heal and will do everything in my power to assist you with your goals, and to provide you with tools to integrate into your life.

I applaud you in your courage to take this important step toward a more meaningful life and look very forward to assisting you on this important journey.

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed August 2024

Two thumbs up for Dr. Gitchel! His calm demeanor and thoughtful responses were very helpful. I really appreciated how he framed our conversations within both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices. He regularly referenced other professionals and shared resources for me to check out in between sessions. An element of working with Dent that especially stood out is his follow up. A day or two after each session, he sent a message summarizing what we'd discussed along with gentle suggestions for the week to come. I have no hesitation in recommending Dent to others who want support navigating life's challenges with more awareness and self-compassion.

Dent does the following: - listens extraordinarily well - gives prompt and detailed feedback - effectively guides me to thinking about things from a healthier perspective

Reviewed February 2023

When I started therapy I was nervous to have the cliche therapist that just listens and asks “how does that make you feel” without giving feedback. This couldn’t be further from the truth with Dr Dent. He listened, cared and provided practical tools in helping me tackle my life’s challenges. 10/10 recommend and will be continuing our sessions later on

Reviewed December 2022

Reviewed November 2022

I am so grateful that instead of giving up entirely on therapy based on my experience with my initial provider, that I made the decision in that last minute to try someone new. Thankful for the very professional communication and therapy sessions with Dr. G. Thankful that instead of validating my concerns, he offers me other perspectives and also easily recognizes my thought patterns etc and effectively teaches me ways to improve on my mental health. He also uses the full time allotted, which I appreciate. Very thankful and happy with my experience with Dr. G so far.
