Blake Pesestky, LAC

I'm Blake Pesetsky, a Licensed Associate Counselor at Fort Smith Therapy. I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. People who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready to get some help.

My approach is person-centered, meaning therapy is tailored to your specific situation and goals, not a one-size-fits-all method. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches depending on what you need, and for couples, I'm trained in Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Counseling, a research-based approach to helping partners communicate better, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship.

In sessions, you can expect a straightforward, judgment-free space. We'll get to what actually matters: what's keeping you stuck, what you want to be different, and how to get there. I'm not here to just listen and nod. I'm here to help you make real progress.

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from Southern Arkansas University. My background includes over 10 years of real-world experience helping people navigate hardship, work that laid the foundation for the therapist I am today. If you're ready to get started, reach out and let's talk.
