Accepting New Clients

Viribus is a group of Therapists and Peer Support Specialists that are Veterans and/or former First Responders. We believe in transparency and honesty. We have experienced our own difficulties and challenges in life after our service in the Military and/or First Responder careers. Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to be angry, withdrawn, bitter, frustrated, and emotionally numb. It just happens. We are not weak, defective, useless, worthless, or less than. We are loving individuals that are just hurting inside. We want what everyone else wants....to have peace and happiness in life.

Starting therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. One of my greatest honors in life is being able to meet clients in the depths of their pain and to support them as they find healing. My clients are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met, and it’s been especially powerful to see them embrace love, forgiveness, and to be freed from shame. My heart is to work with those struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, and so much more. My approach is tailored to the needs of the client and I provide Faith-Based and Non Faith-Based therapy.

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.

I will listen carefully as you teach me about your life. I will listen to your words and to what your body is saying. We will work together, partners on a mission to discover ways your life might become more functional and satisfying. Your stay with me may be brief or lengthy, but will consist of the time and content that meets your personal needs. Whether the issue troubling you is about distressing thoughts or feelings, destructive behaviors, relational difficulties, a general sense of failure, or if you struggle with undiagnosed illness, come, let's explore together and find ways to improve your life.

I hold a Master's in Addictions Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma and am under supervision for licensure of alcohol, drug, and mental health counseling. I use my personal journey of recovery along with clinical experience to provide a holistic treatment approach tailored to every individual, family, and/or couple. My goal in therapy is to help individuals and families struggling with addiction and all of life's stressors find peace and serenity. I believe life is a gift - one that’s meant to be enjoyed & shared. It's all about doing the next right thing & discovering your purpose.

Hey there! I'm Dustin Walker, a licensed professional counselor utilizing EMDR therapy to treat trauma and other mental illnesses. Trauma is more common than we think and can take many different forms. If you're somebody who has gone through a traumatic experience and feels as though you're stuck without any options, I want to reassure you that you're not alone. Often, people who have been through trauma find themselves struggling with feelings of powerlessness and a lack of control. But you don't have to keep feeling this way! If you are ready to take back control of your life and work towards healing, then I can help!

As a Clinical Social Worker, and working in the behavioral health field for 20 years it has provided an opportunity to offer you specific treatments, support, and education that will provide deep insight into your needs and meeting your goals for your mental health. We will work to empower you with strength and courage to walk through the darkness and into the light. Our relationship as clinician and client and the trust we develop will make a difference in your treatment. I look forward to supporting you and/or your family.

Life can often bring unexpected challenges that can be difficult to face alone. It is not uncommon to feel held back by self-doubt, fear, and anxiety. The good news is, there is no need to face these struggles on your own. Starting your journey with therapy can feel daunting, but in doing so you have demonstrated courage and taken the first step toward healing.

My primary goal is to empower clients and help them achieve their personal growth and well-being. Clients can expect to gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, as we work together to explore the underlying causes of their challenges. Through this process, they will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their unique strengths.

Everyone should have someone in their life they can call an ally. Someone who listens empathetically and compassionately, fully without judgement. If that is what you are looking for in a therapist and you are ready to see changes within your life, please look no further! I specialize in treating individuals from children, teens to adults utilizing a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities. Together, we will work as a team to develop and accomplish your therapeutic goals and work towards living the life you have always envisioned for yourself.

At Oklahoma Clarity Therapy, I work with clients to find clarity and develop emotional resistance. These skills can help you work through the issues that are causing stress and pain. My goal is to help you through difficult times that might be related to the death of a loved one, family or relationship problems, divorce, school or work stress, loss of a job, or any unexpected struggle in life. I believe positive change is possible regardless of one's circumstances in life. I have been in practice for 15 years. I have experience with children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals.

I enjoy working with individuals who are willing to address areas of their life that are causing distress and challenges. Great progress can be made when an individual is ready to work and put forth effort. It is an honor to walk along side these individuals as they search these for the right path in their lives.

Change can be a very intimidating word. How many of us know that "something" needs to change but we are unsure and overwhelmed with where to start. Change means there is a possibility of failure and who needs that? I use a person-centered approach when working with clients, meeting them where they are at and building upon that to make the desired change. There are positive aspects to everyone's life, but we often fail to notice them. Let me help you with this. Make an appointment today and we'll work on obtaining the goals you want!

As a counselor, my passion for helping others is rooted in personal experiences, inspiring a commitment to guiding others through life's challenging seasons. Specializing in trauma, substance abuse, relationships, and self-esteem, I offer a collaborative and tailored approach to address specific needs and goals. In a safe, warm, and trusting space, I welcome each part of you, meeting you in vulnerability on your journey back home to yourself.

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.
