Therapists in McAlester, OK

My practice is primarily family therapy where multiple family members participate. The majority of the families I work with have at least one, if not many, of the following diagnoses: AD/HD, oppositional defiant disorder, selective mutism, learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, pragmatic communication, etc), social communication disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and/or bipolar disorder. I actively use Accelerated Resolution Therapy(ART) to help people gain relief from trauma and persistent unwanted thoughts. I also offer comprehensive reports for social security applications.

Life is a journey full of changes, and sometimes, these changes can be overwhelming. For children and families, it can be challenging to overcome the struggles that come with daily life, trauma, or a diagnosis. However, it is essential to know that seeking help is a valid option, and you don't have to face it alone. Therapy can give you the knowledge and tools to recognize your strengths and abilities. It can help you heal, no matter your age or life stage. Don't let the struggles of life hold you back. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, and therapy can be a powerful source of healing.

Life sometimes creates some unexpected turns that we have difficulty managing. I'm here to help people manage and cope with those turns, to provide support and help so that a client and their family can get back to a place of peace.

At any stage in life difficulties along the way can cause positive parts of ourselves to get a little buried, blocked, or hidden. Using your own creative process, I aim to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are confident, courageous, caring, compassionate, curious, calm, and connected. This process can be done individually, with couples, and in family sessions.
