Bonnie Thomas

THERAPIST - Little Rock

LPC, BSP, EFT Trained

Bonnie has over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups to bring healing from the most broken places. She is a passionate, optimistic, and goal-oriented person both in and out of the therapy room. She holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Sciences.

The current focus of her practice is treating trauma, the painful roots of mental illness and addiction. She is certified in Brainspotting and trained in Prolonged-Exposure Therapy, both highly effective protocols. She is also trained in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), rooted in attachment theory, which is one of the most effective couples’ therapy approaches used today. She loves the chance to work with couples in premarital therapy to identify and address potential relational problems and insecure attachment styles before they have time to take root and lead to long-term problems. She is comfortable exploring issues of sexuality and spirituality, for which she has additional training. She teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills and interventions to give clients practical, daily tools to cope with challenges in everyday life. 

In life and in the therapy process, Bonnie allows herself to be led by the Holy Spirit, trusting that his timing is perfect and that he knows best what people need to truly heal. She enjoys teaching others how to foster a relationship with their Creator as well. Although she has come to believe that God is the ultimate healer, she understands and respects everyone’s right to their own beliefs and convictions. Furthermore, Bonnie is especially careful not to impose her beliefs onto others and recognizes the spiritual and religious harm that can occur if this happens. 

Leading the hurting through the process of healing is fuel to Bonnie. It is her life’s purpose and she is devoted to her calling. She feels honored come alongside individuals as they courageously stand against the lies about their worth and identity. Restoration from the past, truth in the present, and hope for the future is her target.
