Parenting Therapists in 73131

Are you a parent needing some direction and support? Are you experiencing difficulties in your marriage or relationship? Is there unhealed trauma in your past? Are you struggling with today's many life stressors? Many of the clients I work with are struggling to find solutions to similar issues. I believe the answers we need are within each of us, and by providing a safe and trusting place to explore options, those answers can be revealed. I provide a safe and calm place to discover the answers to my client's issues, needs and goals. I have training and experience in EMDR.

Our mission at Courage Counseling Center is to provide Mental Health Services that support our clients and help them find the courage to change and the courage to grow. We strive to develop collaborative and supportive relationships with our clients, in order to promote emotional wellness. As former Teachers and School Counselors, we are experienced in and enjoy working with young people, as well as people from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I have a passion for working with mom’s, individuals, couples, and families to help them through depression, anxiety, trauma, and transitions. It is my goal to help clients feel understood on their path towards healing.

I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oklahoma in 2005. I use sensitivity in my approach, I'm open-minded, supportive and non-judgmental and focus on engaging the client where they are and working together to achieve goals for therapy. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and elderly. I have worked with couples, families, and foster parents. I use Solution Focused, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Externalization and Narrative Therapy. I use Motivational Interviewing for assessments and building rapport. I use Mindfulness Based Therapy as well as Art Therapy for Stress Management.

It is difficult to navigate the things that life throws at us. We can easily feel alone and very overwhelmed amongst all the chaos and stress. We all have needs and we all want our lives to improve for the better. Seeking any form of help can be very hard (especially for men). However, it is a very brave and courageous step.

I am a LMFT and work with all ages from 10 yrs old and up. I work with all types of problems that people may encounter. I like supporting people in making new goals, understanding and handling things better in their lives and working problems out with the ones they love. I will stand beside you as you go through the tough things and support you in improving your life on your terms. I also am a supervisor for MFTs working towards their license.

Few open spots. I believe that every individual is capable of cultivating change through commitment, effort, and vulnerability. During the therapeutic process I empower clients to use their existing strengths. My specialty areas include the following: marital/couples, men's issues, adjustment disorders, ODD/ADHD, anxiety spectrum, substance abuse/addictions, pre-teen challenges, trauma, and grief/loss.
