Wellness & Courage

"Lauren is the best therapist I’ve had, my state of mind cleared up a lot and my self image wasn’t the horrible mess of hate that it was before going to her. She gave me life changing tools, helped me learn to go live life on my own, and even helped me get a promotion at work with how much my confidence shot up! I loved working with her, though I lost my health insurance and wasn’t able to continue my time in her office. I currently recommend her to everyone, and I’m hoping to get back on her books sometime soon! Thank you Lauren :)"

"By far the best experience with therapy. Lauren makes every session meaningful and productive. Her calm, kind, intentional approach makes such a difference."

"If you’d like to waste a year of your time please make an appointment with them and watch them not help you and then drop you and take money they are not owed. I desperately needed help and still do and they are heartless and couldn’t care less if they help or not as long as they get their money. Therapist should help, not hurt. Now I need therapy from you! Laws protecting patients find their way around sometimes though."

"My counselor at Wellness and Courage is Maryam Grimwood. Over the past year she has helped me work through very tough personal problems with the utmost professionalism and compassion. She listens with total concentration and she is highly skilled at identifying contradictions- gently nudging the thinking of others to be more productive and healthy. I listen to every suggestion she offers because she has never steered me wrong. Maryam is the most patient, authentic, and trustworthy therapist I have ever worked with. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to enlist her help in my journey toward better mental health. I highly recommend her to all those who ask. The office at Wellness & Courage is calming and pleasant, with soft music, refreshments on offer, and beautiful local artwork across the walls. Their business staff have always worked with me when I needed some flexibility. The view from the windows of their offices in the Encore Bank building is among the best in the city of Fayetteville. Gazing out on downtown Fayetteville and the Ozark Mountains works well to set the tone for reflecting and working to see life from a larger perspective. Visiting Wellness & Courage always puts me in a better headspace and prepares me for the challenges ahead."

"Wendy Poole and her team at Wellness and Courage have been absolutely wonderful. If it weren’t for Wendy I don’t think I would have been able to climb out of the hole I had dug myself into. Every team member I have had the pleasure of meeting has been incredibly kind, accepting, and professional. The environment that they’ve created is a calm, respectful place to be able to open up and express yourself. If you are looking to better yourself this is the place for you."
