Exceeding Contentment Behavioral Health and Our Mission

“Here to help, not to judge,” is the mission of Exceeding Contentment Behavioral Health. Founder, Artica Jenkins has a vision for the life of herself and the lives of all that are connected to her. Artica believes not only are you able to get the things you need, but you can obtain more than you ever could imagine if you believe. After the loss of her parents, only 10-months apart, and the need to support her daughter, Artica did not give up on her dreams. With faith, hard work, and a small support system, her dreams manifest. As a result, all Exceeding Contentment Behavioral Health’s clients are not treated like another number, but treated like a member of the family.

We help our clients by working as a team, offering a qualified staff of therapist, case managers, social workers, and administrative assistants. We accept most major insurances and EAP providers including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Allkids, United Health Care, Cigna, Optum, Magellan, Behavioral Health Systems, Medicaid, and many more

Chat With An Expert.

We’re dedicated to providing relief for our clients, but more importantly we provide counseling that goes to the root to create lasting positive change. Just like the most resilient trees have strong roots, the most resilient people have healthy root beliefs, inner stories, and resources that help them stand tall through any storm. You have strong places inside of you already. Our therapists help you harness those resources for resilience, growth, and deep self-acceptance.

We’ll help you identify and overcome patterns/beliefs that aren’t serving you so that you can:

  • create strong relationships with friends, family, co-workers and your partner,
  • experience relief from anxiety, worry, or depression
  • overcome the impact of trauma
  • recover from addiction
  • experience emotional growth and transformation,
  • and live your whole life with more ease, confidence, and courage.

Experienced Therapists

Each counselor has an area of specialization from which they practice. There are many reasons for this, but the most important reason is that when you work with a therapist who specializes, you receive a higher quality of care, quicker results, and someone who understands your unique issues. Having a good fit is important. When you give us a call, we will find out about your needs and match you with the therapist(s) who specialize in your area of concern. We sincerely care about your well-being and want the process to be easy for you.
