Sports Performance Therapists in Ottawa County, OK

We all face difficult life situations and challenges. I counsel adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, managing work/academic stressors, adjustment issues, parent-child relational issues, sport psychology and insomnia. I use a practical and behavioral approach to coping with problems. I believe in solution focused strategies for the individual. Counseling can teach individuals new ways to cope, communicate, change perspective and establish healthy patterns. Treatment can be brief with positive results to help people live a happier and more fulfilling life.

You may be seeking help because you experience moods and challenges that you feel less-than equipped to manage all on your own. As Brene Brown has told us, and told us "we are hard-wired to connect... and when we go out into the world searching for reasons we are not enough, we will always find it." It's not enough to hear the quotes, read the books, and listen to the podcasts though. Aligning to our values is tough when we have been conditioned to accept so much less than what our specific wants and needs call for.
