Hi! I'm Avanlea Chaney, a Licensed Associate Counselor with a passion for helping children and adolescents.

I founded Resilient Youth Counseling in 2025 after relocating to Fort Smith, Arkansas. With a background as a School Counselor and a Master's in School Counseling, I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy to support kids and teens through challenges, trauma, and emotional growth.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, thrifting, and taking on creative projects. I’m excited to be a part of the Fort Smith community and to help young people build resilience and find healing.

I am housed at the Fort Smith Therapy office.

Happy Sunday, River Valley!

If your week felt like a whole lot, take today to refill your cup—literally and emotionally.

Coffee, naps, sunshine, snuggles, or avoiding laundry… it all counts as self-care.

From all of us at Fort Smith Therapy, we hope your Sunday is soft and your week ahead feels lighter.

Happy Friday, friends!
You made it through the meetings, the chaos, the “what even is today?” moments… and you're still standing. That deserves a celebration.

Here’s your friendly reminder from Fort Smith Therapy:
Take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders (yep, we see you 👀) and slide into the weekend with a little extra kindness for yourself.

Cheers to rest, joy, and doing whatever fills your cup this weekend.
You earned it!

Fort Smith Therapy
Helping you be the best you ever.

Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it.”
It’s about learning to live safely in your own skin again.

Give yourself permission to move at your own pace.

At Fort Smith Therapy, we walk beside you—not ahead of you—as you rebuild peace, safety, and trust in yourself.

Meet Peyton Hall, owner of Hall Counseling and Guidance, housed in the Fort Smith Therapy offices. Originally from Kansas, Peyton now calls Arkansas home. She’s a proud wife, mom to a sweet baby girl, and a former member of the Arkansas Army National Guard.

Before becoming a therapist, Peyton spent five years as a school counselor working with children, teens, and college students. Her passion for helping others grew from seeing how deeply people long to be heard and understood.

Today, Peyton specializes in helping individuals of all ages navigate life’s challenges, find their voice, and build emotional awareness. She believes that our emotions drive our actions—and that understanding them is the key to making positive changes.
