About Wellness & Courage
Where it all began…
Wellness & Courage Counseling Services was founded by 2 therapist cousins, who shared a dream to create a group practice with a team of like-minded professionals with a desire to help others in the community live their best lives. Wendy J. Johnson and Jamy Hunter are second cousins who had never met. The two were introduced by other family members in September 2016. Wendy and Jamy had an immediate connection. Their individual dreams became a reality in March 2018, when Wellness & Courage in Downtown Fayetteville was born. Farmington and Bentonville Clinics were built in 2021. They started with 1 clinic in downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas and 4 therapists, and currently own three clinics across NWA with 30 therapists. They grew their business by 400% in the first 3 years. They are proud to have hired from ALL WALKS OF LIFE in order to help the client with his/her/their perspective: Male, Female, Black, White, Asian American, Iranian American, LBGTQ, heterosexual, Christian, non-Christian, and we continue to hire in this way.
Wendy and Jamy decided on the name “Wellness & Courage” because in order to obtain a state of wellness, he/she/they must have the courage to begin working towards that elusive yet IMPORTANT goal.
Becoming the best version of yourself is NEVER easy, but it is ALWAYS worth it. Having the ability to do something that frightens you, such as working on becoming the best version of yourself, is by definition courageous. Our clinicians are highly educated, earnestly trained, and fiercely eager to help you find your strength in the face of pain. Wendy and Jamy are immensely PROUD of the team they have built!
