Greers Ferry, AR: In a small community lacking a solid professional mental health counselor presence, one Greers Ferry resident is opening a private practice in the area. Sincera Wellness, LLC, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapy and Licensed Counseling, operated and owned by Mary Anne Gunter, MS, LAC, LAMFT, is now accepting new clients.
Sincera Wellness will be offering professional, licensed therapy / counseling for individuals, couples, and families. Sincera will specialize in counseling for the blended family, divorce and coparenting issues, and will provide Christ-centered counseling upon request. Other services offered include marriage mentoring, case management, life coaching and parenting coaching. Sincera Wellness can give public speaking engagements on a variety of topics, including shame vs. guilt, emotional health, grief, parenting, co-parenting, the art of the apology, emotional adultery, recovery from abortion, recovery from affairs, pornography, intimacy, conflict resolution, divorce, coparenting and helping children through divorce. Sincera also has plans in place to offer certified family / divorce mediation in the future, as well as can provide a customized, small marriage encounter, seminar or retreat for as few as 1-2 couples for individuals, employers, churches, or other groups.
“I have a passion for seeing marriages thrive, families succeed, parents parent well, and the blended family be at peace, when they often divorce 65-70% of the time. I care about my community and the families, children, and marriages in it,” said therapist and owner Mary Anne Gunter.
She comes to this practice with experience as a former psychiatric nurse and nurse case manager, and herself has been in a blended family for nearly 28 years, and has led marriage and parenting groups. The practice’s website is www.sincerawellness.net for more information. Hours are flexible day, evening and Saturday appointments, whether in the church, school, employer, or in some instances the home setting. The therapist is looking forward to a holistic team approach, accepting referrals from area churches and small and large businesses. Sincera Wellness, LLC understands very well that the small employer may not have a lot of resources to offer its employees, and is ready to team with the smallest employer to offer counseling on a concierge-therapy (package) basis to an employer’s staff, including counseling, presentations, workshops, at the worksite. Sincera can offer a 20-minute presentation free of charge to area churches, groups, healthcare providers, employers upon request, explaining its services, and is happy to do so on Sundays for area churches.
