Therapists in Edmond, OK

Feeling overwhelmed and TIRED every day. Coping skills are nonexistent or are not working. Day to day activities are exhausting, or at least the way you are doing them makes it feel that way. Between job and/or school responsibilities and home/family responsibilities it all seems to be too much. You want to be able to prioritize, complete things and feel productive. Time to get out of surviving and start thriving.

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 believe in uniting with clients of all ages and life experiences, respectfully. The ideal client has a desire to work hard and utilize kindness with themselves at every stage of the journey. I provide TeleHealth therapy and in person once a week or every other week. Only daytime appointments available.

I provide an open, caring and safe environment for you to discuss your most private difficulties and challenges. I focus on building a positive therapeutic relationship to promote maximum positive change and growth. I specialize in highlighting the goals and standards that you want to achieve and processing how your daily decisions/actions bring you closer to success within that goal... or take you further away from what you would like to accomplish. I use Reality Therapy to help clients on improving present relationships and circumstances, while steering away from much discussion of past events.

Hello! My name is Amanda and I am a therapist working in Edmond. providing both in person and online individual counseling. In my time as a therapist I have worked with children (7+), adolescents, and adults with differing goals and backgrounds to work to find healthy ways to cope and find support in a safe environment. My primary goal as a therapist is to build a connection so that each person who enters my office feels open to express themselves genuinely. I also work to build a treatment plan in tandem with the client to ensure that the goals we are working toward are important and relevant to the client.

Are you experiencing disconnection in your relationship(s) that is leaving you feeling stuck and unsure about the future? Are you struggling with emotional connection, physical intimacy, or both? I believe everyone can change the course of their story in the present moment and ultimately change how their story unfolds. We can work together to identify relational patterns that are contributing to the disconnection you are experiencing, address and heal past relational and/or sexual traumas, and work toward increasing your capacity for intimacy, trust, and relational and sexual satisfaction. Together we can change your story.

Do you find yourself with the inability to control your emotions and experience the consequences? Do you feel empty, alone, frustrated and having trouble explaining how you feel? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) might be for you. I believe that the positive and genuine relationship between client and therapist is the most effective and transformative way to begin a therapeutic relationship. I strive to welcome clients into a calming, safe, enjoyable and non-judgmental space where we can work on hard things together.

I have a passion to help people overcome trials of life, go in the direction of grace and acceptance, and come to terms with their shortcomings without feeling condemnation. My aim is to help people learn how to be hospitable rather than exist in a state of hostility or loneliness. While we cannot change difficult situations of our past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the resulting challenges in our life. We all share a common need to express emotions and learn new ways to cope effectively.

Through triumph, tragedy, and everything in between, I believe God uses our situations to teach us valuable life lessons we can use to help others and ourselves. The opportunity to view our situations, others and our surroundings through a different lens is created through these experiences. It is my desire to create an environment where my clients feel welcomed, heard, safe and understood. It is my hope this will help and prepare you to face the challenge of working through the pain or any other obstacle you may be facing and ultimately experience true healing.

Accepting new clients for in person & tele for all accepted insurances. We have just hired a new therapist and she has evening availability for private pay only. 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.

In this world, we will have troubles and sometimes it causes us too much hurt and pain. I can help you. I have been a mental health provider for nearly 20 years. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. In addition, I am certified as a SYMBIS Assessment Facilitator for premarital counseling.

Accepting new cIients! I have a passion for helping individuals and couples maneuver through the many obstacles life so often presents us. Almost 20 years of corporate experience has provided me with a lens to understand the dynamics and challenges families, couples, and individuals feel from outside pressures. Throughout my life, I have gained an understanding of the stress that can come from balancing work, family, and personal needs. My educational history includes a Bachelor’s Degree in history from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Masters of Legal Studies in energy law from the University of Oklahoma School of Law.

I enjoy the challenge of working with addictive diorders and helping individuals, couples and families find recovery and peace of mind.

I am passionate about working with couples whose relationships may be in crisis (broken trust; conflicted; disconnected) as well as stable marriages wanting deeper connection and relational intimacy. I help them see themselves and each other through a lens that includes the issues each person brought with them to the relationship, including ways their hearts and minds were impacted by relationships and situations experienced during their formative years. The therapeutic approach I use helps build understanding and empathy that constructively leads to changes in behavioral patterns and relationship dynamics. The goal - mutual satisfaction and freedom to love one another well.

For some, it is not an easy decision to start counseling, but the therapy process can lead to unimaginable improvement. I do counseling with children, teens, and adults for a wide range of issues. I also enjoy marital therapy and family therapy. It's my goal to help you grow and heal though the challenges caused by mental illness or life's challenging circumstances. Working together we can see change and hope! I know it's important to get help or support when you're looking for it. So if you call and you don't get to talk to someone... we do call back, usually same day or next business day.

Do you feel down, filled with heaviness, or dread and anxiety? Or maybe like you are unsure who you are, what your value is, or how to make difficult life choices and transitions? If you want more for yourself and your close relationships or have experienced some difficulty in life and could use support in figuring out what to do next, I believe that we can figure it out together. I want to understand where you have been, where you are at, and where you want to be. My job is to help you make sense of it.

I strive to help clients work through their challenges through empathy (listening!), and fostering a plan of action that is in alignment with the uniqueness of the individual. When we are able to tap into methods of self-discovery and change that work specifically for the client, greater balance and peace within are possible, even with the constance of external chaos and change. My practice aligns with anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of self and accumulate skills to carry on throughout life.

I am a survivor who knows how difficult it can be to find a therapist who feels safe, understanding, and trustworthy - especially if you've been hurt time and time again. The aim of my practice is to ensure a safe and supportive space in which you feel respected on your journey. I provide sex and relationship counseling to individuals and partners from all walks of life that is trauma-informed, kink-aware and sex-positive, client-focused, nonmonogamy-friendly, and sex-worker allied. If you're struggling with sex, relationships with others or yourself, trauma, anxiety, depression, or body-image, we might be a good fit!
