First Health Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I take an integrative approach to counseling. I see the client as a unique individual, and I purpose to meet them wherever they are at. This is called Client Centered Therapy. I enjoy working with Adults, Couples, and teens.

One of the most challenging experiences for individuals and couples to overcome is healing after a betrayal. Whether you have experienced an extra-marital affair, discovery of some kind of addiction or secret life, or a traumatic life event, the wounds of these betrayals need specialized care in order to heal. Individual, couple and group therapies designed to focus on the healing of betrayal trauma are available at Family Solutions Counseling. At FSC, we use a team approach to get the best treatment to all three entities wounded by betrayal: both individuals and the couple relationship.

Jeffrey is a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist (LMFT), OK #1280, clinical fellow and approved supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and a Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP) with the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP). He works with individuals and families who are struggling to navigate a variety of emotional, behaviors, and social difficulties.

I work with high functioning adults who need help with depression, anxiety, recovery from traumatic events, and trouble in their personal and professional relationships. Together we will work to find what best motivates you in achieving your unique goals.

I chose my profession because I enjoy helping people overcome their individual struggles and to find meaning in life's uncertainty. I view my therapeutic role as a partner to the client, collaborating in the problem-solving process and seeking out solutions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my primary treatment methods are cognitive-behavioral and strengths-based therapy. My clients receive individualized care to meet their personal needs, not a cookie-cutter approach. My practice includes individuals, couples and families facing a wide range of issues from depression, marital conflict to oppositional defiant teenagers.

Seeking help from a therapist can make some people feel uncomfortable. Correcting the problems in your life is the most courageous move you can make. Your journey toward self-enrichment and understanding can begin as soon as you are ready to move into a new area where anything is possible. By scheduling a counseling session with me, you are creating a chance for positive change in your life. Whether your change is due to interrupting a negative cycle, gleaning a new and objective viewpoint, or by learning new tools to change your life.

You’re desperate but determined to do anything you can to help your child be ok, and honestly, to make it easier for everyone. You try your best to keep them calm and manage their emotions, but the slightest thing can set off another tantrum. Their meltdowns make you feel scared, ashamed & guilty, like you’re being judged for somehow failing your child. You seriously wish that life was less difficult for them– that they could handle changes more easily, cultivate friendships, & learn to follow simple directions. But try as you might, there just doesn’t seem to be any real progress. You’re out of ideas and starting to lose hope.

A strong relationship with the counselor is essential for the counseling process. The client comes to the process with a commitment for change. Sometimes the commitment is marginal and helping fortify that commitment is the initial part of our work. I believe that my most effective work is with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family of origin issues and trauma. I work extensively with clients who have personality disorders (ingrained patterns of self defeating behavior). My practice is geared toward adolescents 13 years old through senior adults. I work with individuals and couples/families.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I am commited to helping individuals make positive changes in their lives. Searching for a therapist can be a confusing and intimidating process. During this time, I will strive to create a safe place for you to heal, grow, and achieve your goals. My clientele include children, adolesents, and adults and I have over 20 years experience working both in education and private practice.

I believe that effective psychotherapy provides a person with increased understanding and self awareness. By gaining deeper insight into lifelong maladaptive patterns, a person can gain the ability to have a healthier lifestyle and outlook on life. One may also come to view their self and others in a completely different way. My style of working with individuals and couples is a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic informed collaborative approach, while being sensitive to each person's specific needs.

Seeking change? Many of the answers are already inside of you! Considering help of any kind can feel extremely daunting and takes a great deal of courage to pursue. Whether you desire resolution for a current life situation, are saddened by loss or grief, want to cease stubborn patterns, or contend with a mental illness, finding a counselor who understands your journey through life is paramount.

It is my life’s work to improve the way the world experiences healthcare. My practice is comprised of a compassionate interdisciplinary treatment team that epitomizes skilled behavioral health services, treating patients from all walks of life. We are competent and caring providers and believe that patients can get well so that eventually, we're no longer treating the patient, but connecting to celebrate milestones!

Life is one continuous flow of change, change, change. Some of us adapt to it better than others. Being out of one's comfort zone is a sure sign that we are growing or about to grow! I love working with people who are brave enough to face the challenges that change brings whether it is change in age, relationship, job...addictive behaviors...belief...life focus...self esteem. I see myself as a partner of my cients. My job is to make the transitions smooth and valuable. Thanks for the opportunity to accompany you on your journey!

With over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups. Although I personalize services for each person, I primarily use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people pursue what they care about most, even in the face of pain and struggle.
