Reach Behavioral Health

For Mental Health Awareness Month at Reach, we’re continuing to celebrate the incredible people whose compassion, dedication, and commitment make a difference in the lives of our clients and our team every day.

We’re grateful for Liz Freeze (Licensed Certified Social Worker) and the care, expertise, and heart she brings to children, teens, adults, and families at Reach!

Liz is deeply committed to her clients and to lifelong learning. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), she brings specialized training and experience to her work with children and families. She has completed advanced training in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and numerous evidence-based approaches. She is currently continuing her professional development through EMDR training, expanding the ways she can support clients on their healing journeys.

As her career continues to evolve, Liz has especially enjoyed expanding her work with teen girls. She is always looking for ways to meet the needs of those around her and thoughtfully follows where she feels called to serve. Her willingness to grow, learn, and adapt allows her to continue reaching clients in meaningful ways through every stage of life.

To our team, Liz’s consistency, professionalism, and commitment to doing things well make her an invaluable part of Reach. We are better because she is part of our team. 💚

✨ Thank you, Liz, for the compassion, expertise, dependability, and heart you bring to Reach! It is truly an honor to work alongside you, and we are grateful for the difference you make in the lives of so many.

For Mental Health Awareness Month at Reach, we’re continuing to celebrate the people whose compassion, dedication, and heart make a difference in the lives of the individuals and families we serve.

Today, we’re recognizing Nick Horton, Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) and the care he provides to clients in our Benton and Little Rock clinics.

Nick joined our team in February after previously serving school-aged children for years where he had lovingly been known as "Mr. Nick." Since joining Reach, he has been intentionally expanding his practice to serve adults, older teens, and their families while continuing to bring the same care in our outpatient setting.

A recent favorite moment for our office team was hearing one of Nick’s clients proudly announce, “This guy is a GREAT therapist.” It was such a meaningful and joyful moment - not only because of the compliment itself, but because of the trust, connection, and progress it represented for both client and therapist.

Professionally, Nick works with adults and teens primarily who may be experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, relational stress, behavioral challenges, etc.

To our team, Nick brings dedication and genuine curiosity. He often describes himself as a lifelong learner - whether he’s developing his clinical skills or tackling new interests like woodworking and chess. His eagerness to grow professionally in service to others is valuable to our community.

Thank you, Nick, for the dedication and heart you bring to Reach, and thanks again to Kidsource Therapy for celebrating our team during Mental Health Awareness Month!

For Mental Health Awareness Month at Reach, we’re continuing the celebration of people who faithfully care for others while balancing the many responsibilities and roles in their own lives.

Today, we’re grateful for Melanie Hilt, Licensed Professional Counselor, and the compassion, wisdom, and steady care she brings to the individuals and families she serves.

Melanie balances a full and busy family life while continuing to serve in her calling as a therapist with remarkable grace and dedication. She brings warmth, thoughtful perspective, and valuable experience into the therapy room, helping clients feel supported, understood, and encouraged through difficult seasons of life.

To our team, Melanie is more than a therapist - she is a trusted friend and coworker whose kindness, perspective, and willingness to support others make Reach stronger every day. She brings calm to hard moments, wisdom to conversations, and genuine care to the people around her.
