Life experiences impact how we see, perceive, and interact with the world around us. When these experiences are traumatic or even just difficult in nature, sometimes it helps to seek out someone who can help you discover the tools needed to mend or create new paths back into healthy relationships. Play is the language of children. In my daily work with children and their families, I find that play often builds bridges where words fall short.

I have witnessed that major change, crisis, loss, or prolonged stress can throw an individual or family off-kilter, adversely affecting entire worlds and contributing to depression, anxiety, and family conflict. Seeking treatment may improve one's self-awareness, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. I specialize in helping people understand, process, and develop ways of managing grief and loss; marital or relationship issues; family and work crises; trauma and abuse; illness; and end-of-life concerns. The goal of this practice is to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth and wellbeing in a safe environment.

Hello. My name is Kathryn Bishop. I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma for 29 years. I work with clients from the ages of 10 to senior citizens and believe people of all ages can make changes to improve their lives.

If you are needing help with difficult situations, relationships, or depression and anxiety, I am ready to work collaboratively with you to get results. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist which simply means I look at all problems in the context of relationships. I take several different approaches based upon your personal needs.

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.

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.

I desire to help people who what to make their marriage last. I also love meeting with people who are longing to break long-standing traumas that live deep in their memory. I have a special devotion to people recovering from substance use disorders. At the end of the day, everyone is worthy of knowing so much more about themselves and having permission to experience the range of emotions that we all feel from time to time.

I help individuals, couples and families navigate challenges. I enjoy working with families to build a supportive, fun environment that transforms ineffective interactions and dynamics. I understand that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is important to creating a safe space that allows honest exploration of your feelings, thoughts and life experiences.

Accepting new clients for in person & tele for all accepted insurances. We have just hired three new therapists and they have some afternoon and evening availability. Have you or someone you love been affected by trauma? Do you want help talking about it and finding ways to overcome it? With therapy that want can become a reality. There is the ability to have help with the flashbacks, acting out behaviors, anxiety, depression and all of the other things that can come after someone has experienced trauma. The trauma does not have to continue to negatively impact your life anymore.

I am passionate about holding space for individuals who want to do the work to move from surviving to thriving in a life they feel good about living. My clients are better able to explore emotions, heal unresolved trauma, learn how to express their reality, communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, share their needs and wants as well as live in balance and spontaneity.

For many, life's passage introduces challenge and difficulty, uncertainty, and pain. In partnering with you to define hope amidst struggle, we will face the endeavor of growth, change, and healing together. Characteristic of my counseling approach is a humble care for your sacred and unique experiences and relationships. Through tender, open, and change-focused exchanges, my work with you will offer opportunities for you to explore strategically, experience vulnerably, question openly, grieve fully, and hope deeply.

Beginning therapy can be a daunting, but life-changing task. I am here to help you take steps toward working through your difficult life circumstances. I feel the ideal client for therapy is someone who is ready to address the life struggles that has led them to therapy. My practice focuses on marriage and family therapy, individual therapy, and psychological assessment. I have been working in the mental health field since 1996 and am currently licensed as a Psychologist in Oklahoma. Prior to obtaining my Ph.D. in Psychology in 2006, I worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor in a variety of settings.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to guiding couples and individuals on their journey toward stronger, more connected relationships. With a foundation built on warmth and empathy, my therapeutic approach is centered around creating a safe space where couples can explore their challenges and triumphs. I believe in the power of genuine connection, and I work collaboratively with couples to foster understanding, communication, and intimacy. Drawing upon my extensive training and experience, I offer a compassionate ear and evidence-based interventions to navigate the complexities of relationships.

Being a person of long term recovery myself, I am uniquely qualified to help individuals and families struggling with addiction issues seeking long-term solutions. Since much of addiction is rooted in trauma, we explore the hurts that caused dysfunction in coping skills along with the effects of addiction on spouses, the family unit and friends.

One of my primary goals as a therapist is to highlight the tendency we have to let the problems we experience interfere with the things in life that we value most. This can leave us feeling extremely frustrated, unfulfilled, and even hopeless! I want to help people learn to practice acceptance and mindfulness, as we develop and determine a sense of direction, with the goal of restoring a sense of meaning and purpose in life.

I believe the most important aspect of a therapeutic relationship involves creating a safe space for people to process their difficulties without feeling judged, regardless of religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. I take a "person centered" approach to help people work toward their treatment goals at their own pace, helping them to lean on their own strengths and supports. I lean heavily into Internal Family Systems to help clients become aware of, understand, and accept the different parts of themselves and learn ways to integrate these parts so they can work together instead of against each other.

Our first relationships are the foundation on which we build all future relationships. If our foundation is shaking, unreliable, or scary we develop a sense of disconnectedness or that we are in some way lacking. This feeling of vulnerability leads us to act in ways we don’t understand. Some may find themselves being overly clingy/controlling for fear that they may be left alone. Some have self-doubt leading to Anxiety, Depression, or addiction. While others shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves. We all have needs and it’s okay to have them met but how we do that can be more destructive than helpful.

Sometimes life can take us unexpected places, leaving us feeling unsure of our path forward. I believe in meeting you where you are and helping you get back on track or finding a whole new one in a judgment free straight forward atmosphere of collaboration and safety. Let's work together to find a place of peace, happiness, and healing through the promotion of self-compassion, positive self-worth, and self esteem. Whether seeking help navigating your individual concerns, those of your children, your family, or loved ones, I can help.
