Therapists in Edmond, OK

***I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME***On my refrigerator between photos of pets, graduates and vacations is a magnet that says, "what people need is a good listening to." This quote speaks to much of what I value in a counseling process; empathy, connectedness, mindful observation. I have 29 plus years as a therapist. Through my own professional journey I have acquired certain skills and nurtured an intuition for particular types of client experiences: For those finding their way through substance addiction and for those bound by a lifestyle of anxiety, self limitation or shame.

My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to be yourself and work toward your personal goals. It is my belief that every individual is capable of fostering change when given a safe place to be vulnerable and heard. You may be struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety or feeling stagnant and discouraged. Whether you are going through a difficult time or feel as if you are in a downward spiral, together we can work toward positive change, establishing healthy coping skills, building on existing strengths and empowering you to take action.

Finding a therapist is complicated, and connecting with one is challenging. You search and search and all you are looking for is relief. Relief from the constant racing thoughts and panic. Relief from feeling too numb to get out of bed. You feel as though you are suffering through each day instead of thriving. You have experienced a death and you feel unsure about what happens in your life without them. My ideal clients are open to a deep exploration of their stories, identities, and needs and are motivated to make real change. I take great honor in having the privilege of helping my clients through the healing process.

I believe in transparency and honesty. I have experienced my own difficulties and challenges in life after 22 years in the U.S. Army and I am in recovery from PTSD and substance abuse. Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to be addicted to substances. It just happens. We are not weak, defective, useless, worthless, morally corrupt, or any other disparaging comments often said about individuals with a Substance Use Disorder. We are loving individuals that are just hurting inside. We want what everyone else wants....to just be accepted and needed for who we are.

Due to current waitlist length, I am offering online downloads at aubrielpc.com. We are all looking for acceptance. From our family, our peers, our co-workers and employers. Sometimes we have things come up that make us feel like acceptance is far out of reach. I work from a client-centered, solution-focused, interactive, feminist therapy perspective to help clients and their families grow into the people they want to be and find healing with all age groups and backgrounds. I work with adolescents and adults with ADHD, Behavior Problems, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Impulse Control, Life Coaching, and more.

I do offer teletherapy. Your family's dysfunction WILL NOT scare me! ( I promise.) You are not "crazy" because you are seeking therapy. To me, you are BRAVE! Question? Are you struggling?? Now take a long deep breath....("no, for real....take a deep breath.") Therapy is self-care! Invest into your best asset.......YOU! You don't have to do this alone. It is okay NOT to be okay! Question? Do you feel like you have tried everything you know to do? It's time to exhale! (take another deep breath.)
