Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Choctaw, OK

Reaching out for help is not a weakness or proof that something is broken. Instead, it takes courage and is rooted in hope. My passion is to tap into and foster the very hope and courage that brings people into therapy. From a family systems perspective, I work within the context of relationships such as couples, parent/child, siblings or other interpersonal relationships. I believe a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial to helping others find solutions and achieve their goals.

Are you looking for healing and wish to find a therapist to hold a safe space where you can explore the human experiences? Perhaps you feel your life has been hijacked by anxiety and you don't know how to get your life back on track? My name is Joey and I am an experienced psychotherapist who can help guide you in taking your life back. My goal is to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment to explore your feelings and personal experiences down your unique path of healing. You will discover new ways to achieve the meaningful life you enjoy by changing the negative thought patterns that have brought you here.

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.

I am here to help you work through life's challenges and daily stressors. Here find support, encouragement, and understanding for your mental and emotional difficulties. Life is hard enough - let someone walk with you while you discover solutions, renewal, and brighter days.

Welcome-I am very happy you are here! I'm licensed in the states of Nebraska (In Person & Telehealth), Missouri (Telehealth), and Oklahoma (Telehealth). My belief as a clinician holds that the most useful tool in therapy is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client. I operate from what is often referred to as a psychodynamic or relational psychodynamic approach. In therapy our tasks are to build a trusting relationship, to discover and understand your beliefs/feelings on their deepest levels, to discover how your history and experiences have shaped your beliefs, and then to address how these beliefs have helped you

In therapy, my goal is to help empower you to find healing and solutions for many of the issues you may be facing. I balance empathy and collaboration to create a safe space for you to grow at your own pace. Together we will work to understand and find healthy ways to cope with the symptoms you are facing. We will look back on your past experiences with compassion to explore how they've impacted who you are today and where you want to go in the future.

You may be seeking help because you experience moods and challenges that you feel less-than equipped to manage all on your own. As Brene Brown has told us, and told us "we are hard-wired to connect... and when we go out into the world searching for reasons we are not enough, we will always find it." It's not enough to hear the quotes, read the books, and listen to the podcasts though. Aligning to our values is tough when we have been conditioned to accept so much less than what our specific wants and needs call for.
