Child Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

Acceptance, understanding and real compassion for whatever challenges you are facing. That is what myself and my staff are about first and foremost. Sometimes you are faced with things you don't understand that can create pain, frustration and confusion. To many times we say to ourselves, "I can handle this." or "it will just go away in time." These are common and easy mistakes to make. If you are struggling, and things just aren't getting better, you need help from unbiased professionals that will listen to you and help you find peace again.

My passion is working with children and families. I believe that a consistent and loving home-life is the foundation of child ’s success and is carried out through adulthood. I embrace that every person has a unique story and approach therapy with a team-like mentality. This means working with the child or teen and their extended network of family and teachers to ensure consistency.

TEENAGERS ARE CRAZY! Well at least it seems like it for a few years. Raising a teenager can be a roller coaster ride, exciting and a little scary. Typically teens experience an enormous amount physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth during these years. Providing teens with the opportunity to take part in their own counseling allows them to further develop skills which promote independence. The Prevention Center, LLC will help your child improve their overall functioning at home, school, within the family, and with peers/social environment. We provide adolescent counseling to children ages 12- 18.

Life continuously throws curve balls and coping can be difficult when you are a child and are not in direct control of your environment and situations. Sometimes children need someone to sit with and help process so many complicated emotions, feelings, and thoughts. I appreciate empowering the clients I meet with and I believe in the transformative value of having a listening ear. I want to be that person for your child and encourage them to shine through all of it. I believe your child can be a fierce light in this world despite their circumstances.

I serve children , adolescents, and their families, especially those who are affected by trauma, attachment difficulties, and other behavioral and mood regulation issues.

Interacting with friends and loved ones can sometimes be difficult. How we think of ourselves is often the consequence of these interactions. My goal is to aid you in making choices to enrich and empower your life.

Parenting is the most important job there is but where do we get training? Most of our training is OJT or from our parents but what if our training isn't "good enough?" Have you ever struggled with parenting and wished that you had a safe place to recharge, regroup, and express your frustrations? As a parent I can relate and as a Therapist I am here to help you. Being a kid is difficult. It's frustrating to communicate when your brain doesn't have the words to express what you want to say. Parents use words to communicate but children communicate through play.

Is your marriage or relationship struggling? Are you looking for help with your child or teen? Do you need direction as you navigate a difficult life circumstance? Change is possible, there is hope, and I'd love to help.

** No openings at this time. Waitlist option available at www.lilyfield.org/counseling ** I believe that we are shaped, but not defined by our experiences, and that having a safe and supportive place to process those experiences can be healing. Humans are built for connection, and my goal is to help clients reach a place where they feel connected to their authentic selves and are able to connect with those who are important to them. I seek to empower my clients by helping them make sense of their history, imagine what a hopeful future might look like, and realize the great resources they already have access to within themselves.

I am passionate about helping children who are in families going through the tough stuff. I believe children learn and heal best through play. I also enjoy working with adolescents, families, and individual adults. I believe we were created to live in connection with others. The nature of sharing our burdens and hardships with another human who is listening and showing empathy is healing in itself. It is my goal in therapy to create a safe space where you feel heard. We are not promised a life free of hardships but we can journey through it together.
