Therapists in Oklahoma

My primary passion and area of focus is children of divorce, blended families, and healing marriages. I have been working within this area of interest professionally since 2010, with personal experiences of having a blended family since 2005. Then opening Anchor of Hope in 2018 to help other families. Treatment often includes both individual and family counseling with a focus on grief following a divorce, strengthening and healing biological family relationships, and understanding and encouraging the process of blending that often takes place through remarriage and other life transitions, such as new siblings, moving, etc.

Many couples don't know where to turn when they seriously consider separation or divorce-I am here to help. What happens when one of you wants to save the marriage but the other does not? What should you do when it seems that your issues are irreconcilable? I offer solutions to these and many more tough situations.

Feeling stressed, depressed , or anxious? Struggling with having no one to talk to you ? Well you have reached the starting point towards change! My clinical experience consist of issues surrounding stress, depression, anxiety, significant life adjustments , divorce, family conflict, integration, relationships, trauma, low self- esteem, body image issues, and more. My aspiration in the therapeutic relationship includes authenticity, empowerment, openness and safety to clients. My goal will be to find the connection between your experience in life and your true self.

We all want to feel connected, nurtured and loved in our relationships. When disconnection happens, we experience both emotional and physical pain; loneliness and isolation keep us distant. We get trapped in negative cycles and aren’t sure how to reconnect in love and trust. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you stop the cycle, heal the relationship pain that keeps you stuck, improve communication and bring love and connection back into your relationship. In addition to being an EFT therapist, I am also a national provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) a model that treats trauma and PTSD.

My practice is based on helping adults and adolescents gain self awareness, insight into their problems, and coping skills and resiliency to live a more healthy and productive life. I use an eclectic approach that leans heavily toward client-centered and play therapy. However, I use an individualized approach to address each client's needs. My specializations include child and adolescent issues, divorce, parenting, and problems with adjustment. I provide therapeutic visitation for parents and children and individual parent coaching.

I have worked with children and families for over twenty-five years and I never cease to be amazed at their resiliency. What I have learned is that children do cope with life struggles, but increasing the likelihood that they develop positive coping skills often depends on the support that surrounds them. Working with children and adults to recognize their own strengths and to learn new strategies for success remains a focus of my practice.

I enjoy working with anyone who is struggling to understand themselves and their behavior. While we can not force someone else to change, changing how we react to others can often bring about change in the relationship. I see counseling as a journey. You are the driver and I am the passenger pointing out road signs. My job is not to judge but to make sure you are aware of your options and their consequences. Whether it is childhood issues, parenting skills, stress, anxiety, depression or problematic relationships, talking to an unbiased trained professional can be of great benefit.

After more than 25 years of experience as a therapist, I still am excited about helping clients to obtain the changes they desire. My training in brief therapy prepared me to practice short-term, solution-oriented counseling. I enjoy working with all ages, including individuals, couples and families. It is an honor and a pleasure to watch my clients achieve awesome improvements in their lives.

I have experience and enjoy working with individuals, both adult and children, as well as couples and families on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity, gender dysphoria, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, separation, conscious uncoupling, divorce and a wide range of relationship issues. I am LGBTQIA+ Ally and Affirming. I work best with people who are curious and want to understand relational dynamics with others and equally important, how they talk to and treat themselves.

Is your child struggling with anxiety. Are you feeling exhausted as a parent? Is your teen overwhelmed? I work with children, teens, and adults to overcome obstacles and develop coping skills that equip and promote positive personal growth. Are you dealing with an aging parent or struggling with the empty nest? Learning new strategies and taking the first steps towards a simple goal can drastically change a difficulty into hope and restoration. I have 25 years of experience with parenting and 30 years in marriage.

I work with children, teens, and families. I also work with couples and individual adults. I use a family systems theoretical approach. I do play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and brief solution focused therapy. Outside of my private practice, I have been a school counselor, as well as, develop and lead social skills groups for kids.

I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in clinical practice for over 40 years. I have been teaching and supervising graduate and postgraduate professionals, as well as maintaining an active full time professional practice.

Christian Family Institute serves all persons, but specializes in being sensitive to faith issues, combining those resources with the best science from the mental health disciplines.

HAVE A WAIT LIST AT THIS TIME i enjoy working with people who are motivated to do the work necessary in order to achieve the changes that they want to make in their lives. I've worked treating children and adults (ages 3 and up); I see the therapeutic process as a joint venture as we tackle the most salient issues folks struggle with. I look forward to hearing from those individuals who are eager to work toward bettering their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Oklahoma Counseling Association (OCA). I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Counseling Psychology degree, both from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults and families in an outpatient setting as well as school-based setting.

I have been a psychologist in the Tulsa area for 30 years. I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a PhD in Counseling Psychology. I've worked at various mental health agencies over that 30 year span, but most recently Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital. There I was an integral member of the team of psychologists who created the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program which specialized in the treatment of major depression, bipolar, generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and post traumatic stress. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to help clients reach their goals and become their "best self".

I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families achieve their therapy goals. My personal therapeutic philosophy is that emotional healing takes place when you address the well-being of the whole person - Mind, Body, and Soul. There is nothing better than seeing an individual caught in the grip of anxiety and depression, find lasting relief; or a couple on the brink of divorce transform into a healthy, loving relationship; or someone finding peace and healing from lifelong childhood-trauma.

Life can be difficult to navigate and every journey has unique twists and turns that create difficulties managing emotions or relationships. I want to work with clients to help them discover management strategies for the struggles that hold them back from leading a full and happy life. Individuals, couples and families all can benefit from my counseling practice by uncovering core conflicts and unhealthy thought patterns. Then processing techniques that can minimize or even eliminate the unwanted thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Dealing with emotional and behavioral difficulties can drain your ability to live life to its fullest. Counseling can help.
