I specialize in providing treatment to people with anxiety, depression, and helping LGBTQ+ people with whatever issues may be facing them.
I'm Stefan Waltke, and I'm glad to meet you! I know that sometimes people feel nervous about approaching therapy. It can be even overwhelming to get to the point where you feel that something is not OK, and that perhaps you need some help from a professional.

I am very passionate about serving those in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as those who are involved in systems (i.e. foster care, corrections, disability).
I believe one of the best ways to heal ourselves is to consider the whole person. As a holistic therapist I look at the mental, physical, and cultural side of a person. I realize that a person is much more than their diagnosis and believe that recovery is possible for everyone.

While I have a special passion for working with the underserved LGBTQ population, I also specialize in working with a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life, at different stages in their lives.
Deciding to take that first step to better yourself and change your life is tough when you are afraid the person you have chosen to help you just may not be able to or even understands your needs. As your therapist, I recognize wholeheartedly how important that first step is. Together, one of our focuses initially is building confidence, comfort, and rapport with each other, so that as we walk together through your issues, you can feel good about doing so. We will develop a plan of care specifically for your individual needs rather using than one specific method based on “identifying markers".

I have worked primarily with POC and other American Cultural Minority populations, including South Asian survivors of domestic and sexual violence, LGBTQIA+, and many others.
My approach to the therapy space is eclectic, borrowing from many different schools of psychology, each of which shares a common belief in the ultimate ability to empower the innate strength and goodness present in all of us. The schools that I most commonly pull from are Humanism, Gestalt Psychology, and Social Work Systems theories.

I currently offer telehealth in OK and TX. I specifically offer an open space to share whatever is bothering you. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal, and some DBT. All of which can be geared towards more brief therapy, or therapy that is more complicated and lasts for longer periods of time.

I'm a Queer, AuDHD, Latinx integrative trauma therapist skilled in attuning to the wisdom of your body and guiding you through building resources that bring a sense of calm and stability to your daily life.
How long have you been overwhelmed, disconnected, or always holding it together for others? Is there a part of you that's exhausted from people pleasing, feeling like you've lost yourself, or carrying shame and self-loathing? My clients often feel like they are riding an emotional roller-coaster while reaching for impossibly high standards in their jobs and relationships. It can feel difficult to manage on top of being highly self-aware and feeling as though no one understands - or that you will be judged. You've been carrying so much for so long and you're ready to shift in a way that honors your depth and pace. Peace is possible.
