Our mission is to provide exceptional, evidence-based care by continuously pursuing advanced training, specializations, and board certifications. We are committed to being the best clinicians we can be, so that those we serve can live fuller, healthier, and more empowered lives.
We believe mental health care is for everyone.
Mental health is health. We are committed to normalizing therapy and emotional wellness for all people, just as we would with any other form of health care. Everyone has mental health, and everyone needs compassionate, competent care.
We value our team.
A team who is supported, empowered, and balanced provides better care. That’s why we foster a work environment where our team can thrive, professionally and personally, so they can show up as their best selves for the clients they serve.
We are committed to clinical excellence.
We pursue the highest standards of training, certification, and evidence-based practice. Our goal is simple: to be the kind of therapists we would trust with our own families. For us, only the best will do.
Above all, we value people.
We are humans first. Helpers second. And we know that all of us, at some point, will need help too. We honor the strength it takes to ask for support, and we are deeply committed to meeting that vulnerability with respect, empathy, and care
The Freeman-Burchfield Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (FBCBT) was founded by Ryan Elizabeth Freeman-Burchfield with a clear vision and desire: to elevate the standard of mental health care in Arkansas by learning from the foremost experts in the field, and bring that knowledge, skill, and excellence back home.
In 2017, Ryan traveled to the Beck Institute in Philadelphia, one of the most respected organizations in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where she had the honor of learning from Dr. Judith Beck and witnessing a talk by her father, Dr. Aaron Beck, the founder of CBT. That experience validated Ryan’s vision and reignited her commitment to excellence. It was a life changing trip.
In 2019, she opened the doors to FBCBT. Just a year later, Ryan became one of the first clinicians in the country, and the first in Arkansas, to earn the prestigious designation of Beck Institute Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.
Since then, FBCBT has grown into a training-focused specialty practice grounded in evidence-based care and clinical integrity. Our clinicians are encouraged and supported in pursuing advanced training through the Beck Institute and other respected institutions in modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and more.
Together, the FBCBT team is committed not only to providing top-tier psychotherapy, but also to advancing the field by offering high-quality training to professionals at all stages of their careers.
At FBCBT, we don’t just want to meet the standard, we want to raise it.
