Family Therapy in 74075

Hello! I am a candidate for licensure as a marriage and family therapist in the state of Oklahoma. I specialize in working with children and adolescents and their families, especially in the areas of parent-child conflict, behavioral challenges, developmental transitions, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. I believe that change is more effective, and problems solved, when the child and their parents/caregivers (and any other available/applicable members of the family system) are present and engaged in therapy. I also work with couples, especially those experiencing communication challenges.

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.

Couples often struggle to navigate challenging situations and differences. It's easy to feel alone, isolated, hurt, betrayed, and frustrated during these times. Despite these challenges, it's normal for partners to also desire resolutions, relief, growth, and connection with each other.

My ideal client is a person who wants to be heard and supported. He/she may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or life's stressors, intending to figure out ways to adjust and heal. I enjoy hearing people's experiences and helping them navigate and explore solutions to issues that affect them. My ideal client maybe a couple who had a strong relationship, but have drifted apart, lost interest, couldn't communicate, and wants to strengthen and rebuild their relationship. Equally important, my ideal client may be a family, who recognized that their family systems patterns are unhealthy. They want to thrive, and I want to help.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that has been in practice for 41 years and in that time I have developed an eclectic approach to working with many issues. I consider myself flexible and accommodating as it pertains to the individual needs of my clients because I work within their system of values and beliefs. I offer Individual, couple, marital and family sessions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I provide a Prescriptive Approach to working with 3-12 year old clients. I have a working knowledge of many different mental health issues but I am more likely than not to refer someone with a Drug and Alcohol Addiction to a colleague.

I use a collaborative approach in which we work together to establish goals, make a plan for treatment, and continue to partner together in the process of counseling. I ask you to be responsible for whatever content you want to talk about at any given time, and I focus on the way we discuss your concerns so that it helps to build a trusting relationship so you can express your true feelings, find solutions for dealing with stressors, learn more about yourself, and get symptom relief.

As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. Blending conventional and alternative approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

Clients come into counseling for many reasons. Those who have not had the opportunity to attend counseling previously may feel anxious. "Here I am meeting a stranger to tell them my life." "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say. Do I have to tell everything?" "I'm not sure why I feel so bad." "Why do these thoughts keep going around in my head?"

Book ONLINE at jennifer-morton.clientsecure.me When looking for a therapist you want someone you can trust. You want to feel safe.. right? You may feel that you are different than others and you want to know you can talk to someone that understands how to help . I have been a support for those who have experienced social anxiety, LGBTQ discrimination, depression and trauma. I pride myself in a non-judgemental space for you to heal. I take a relational approach and know that progress can be made when you have a trusted person that can support you through the changes you are wanting to make or the situation you are facing.

Are you finding yourself scrolling through mental health videos and yelling, "OMG. That's me?!" You are not alone, survival mode really is a thing, there are others out there drinking caffeine like it's water and hiding in the bathroom to eat a cookie in peace. It's time to let down your messy bun, put on the clothes that make you feel good, and let yourself be free to be who you are. If you are a caregiver for little ones, it is time to find out who YOU are outside of what those little ones need. You want to run wild, to fuel your soul, to be fierce, discover who you are again, and love the self you lost while trying to survive.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the Stillwater area specializing in individual treatment for a variety of concerns and lifestyles. I obtained a Masters degree in Counseling from a multiculturally sensitive and CACREP accredited program at Oklahoma State University. It is my pleasure to assist others in developing skills, owning their stories and improving quality of life for those who strive to do just that. If you are in need of reduced fee services and are interested in working with a supervised intern you please reach out to schedule an appointment.
