Therapists in Tulsa, OK

Do you have a struggle no one else seems to understand? Do you feel overwhelmed with obstacles/problems stacking in your life? Find you are needing help with your child, teen, or your own seasons of change? Or just need a open-minded sounding board and therapy tools to help you uncover, dip deeper and find real resolve. I have provided mental health service to OK residents for 20 years helping others talk through their problems and put real change in their life during their most stressful of times. Helping others is my passion, providing you with a safe and trusting place to unload and sort through the obstacles.

I am a Psychologist in private practice with 25+ years experience. I have worked in academic settings, psychiatric hospitals and private practice. My experience encompasses all ages; however, my Clinical Residency and post doctoral training was with children birth-18. I have a deep commitment to helping people. As a psychologist, I believe I have been able to do just that and I look forward to discussing that journey with you.

Do your problems appear so big that you can't seem to find a way through them? Some of our problems can also be due to the fact that we don't have the skills necessary to address them. Knowing how to manage stress, especially in relationships, can be key to creating the change that we need. If you feel you or your family is in this situation, I can help you, your child, or your family navigate a way to freedom.

My primary clients are individuals between 2 - 21 years (Adults on a case-by-case basis). I work with children and their families to provide more information about current presenting social, emotional, and/or behavioral concerns through a thorough assessment (i.e., 5+ hours of direct assessment) and/or through counseling. In counseling, I alone cannot change the person once per week or every other week; parents are key to successful treatment by implementing appropriate strategies, support, and structure needed for improvement (i.e., there is work for the adults too!). I can also help with navigating the school system. So, "How can I help?"

I have been in the mental healthcare profession for 30+ years and began counseling in 1997 at Laureate Psychiatric Clinic & Hospital. I specialize in eating disorders and grief recovery, but also have years of experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and anger management. I treat males and females between the ages of 16 and 75 in individual, couples, and family therapy.

Life is hard for so many reasons, I aim to be a supportive figure in my client's corner. I will meet you where you are and I'm happy to incorporate other tools that you already use or are drawn to from Psych MDs to energy healers to trainers. Therapy is not one solution fits all - everything we do together will be tailored to you. I aim to support, listen and empower you; but my specialty is my ability to facilitate change that makes lives tangibly better. We will create goals, identify barriers and develop a creative and realistic strategy.

Life does not always go according to plan. Sometimes we are faced with overwhelming challenges and you can't see a clear path out. You don't have to go through it alone. Your past does not have to define you. As you overcome your struggles, you will become stronger for the next obstacle that you will face. Whether you are struggling in your current relationships, feeling stuck in your past, or worried about your future, I will help you see and use your strengths to work on solutions and goals to move forward in your life. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, trauma, PTSD, and grief.

Are you a woman who feels worried, on-edge, or shut-down and disconnected? Wonder “who you really are” under all the anxiety? Tried talk therapy before but still struggle? I understand, and I’m here to help you reclaim your body, mind and spirit so you can live your most authentic, joyful life! I help female identifying trauma survivors calm, soothe, and empower themselves through EMDR therapy and Trauma-Informed Yoga (movement, breathing exercises, meditation). I teach adult survivors of childhood trauma how to reparent themselves and learn to receive the love they have always deserved - internally and in relationships.

You are probably looking not only for someone who cares, but for someone who is also sufficiently knowledgeable and insightful to understand you well, and to offer you helpful techniques and suggestions--based on solid research--that can make a positive difference in your life...all while treating you with respect and dignity. I am good at that combination and balance...and have gained broad experience and wisdom from having been in practice for over 20 years. In working with me, you will find empathy, intelligence, competence, and respect.

Some of our most difficult times are also our greatest opportunities for growth and healing. It can be challenging and rewarding to make changes in your life and in your relationships. I aim to create an empathetic, trusting environment and relationship where you can feel safe to discover yourself and the areas that need healing. The goal is to move through these issues while building on your strengths to achieve a greater sense of well-being, feel empowered, develop resiliency, and live a positive, fulfilling life.

Have you or your child been struggling to manage strong emotions or major life transitions? Strong feelings can make us feel stuck, but I'm here to help! My goal is to provide a supportive, trusting and therapeutic alliance with my clients in an environment that feels safe and supportive. I have experience working with a wide-range of clientele including children, adolescents and families who have experienced depression, anxiety, social issues and trauma. Calling a therapist can be intimidating but I hope you will take a moment to reach out to see how I can help.

Therapy sessions are available online and telephone calls. Are you ready for change? Do you ask yourself: What is the point? Who am I? Why did this happen to me? How can I make things better? Where do I go from here? There are answers to these questions, and I can help you answer them. I believe we are the experts of our lives. I also believe change for betterment is a reality.

Sometimes life throws problems at you that are bigger than you know how to handle. Struggling with pain can make you wonder where or when you went wrong or if there's something you could have done differently. You feel like you've tried everything but nothing seems to work and you're worried things will get worse. You might feel disconnected from others or even yourself. You do not have to live with shame and guilt. Working with someone who understands you can open up possibilities for change and growth to help you get your life back.

A quality therapy experience is built on connection. Through this connection, you and I will work to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating, so you may experience a more authentic and fulfilling life. My belief is that everyone has the ability to heal and grow through meaningful interactive therapy and my goal is to provide significant and effective treatment in a non-judgmental safe environment, for those who want to achieve their desired life aspirations.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! Looking for a therapist that fits your needs can sometimes be intimidating and overwhelming. I applaud you for making it this far in that journey and taking the first step to getting the support you deserve! Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? There are practical ways to address your emotions and concerns.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who values working with diverse individuals representing a variety of presenting concerns. We will work together to find what fits with your needs, strengths, and goals. I attend to the fact that life experiences, environment, and circumstances all shape our understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us. My approach honors that growth occurs through relationship and connection with others, and I attend to these elements to help you create change in your life. Helping clients understand the roots of their concerns while also assisting with symptom reduction is important to me.
