I am a Individual, family, children and teen counselor. I am licensed in the state Oklahoma with over 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients that have a wide range of needs including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parental definiency problems, personality disorder, gender Identity crisis, grief, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
I would describe myself as an optimistic therapist. I take pride in my work and my passion to is help others help themselves. I listen to individual needs and then apply the best methods and strategies to fit their needs, coming up with coping skills, activities, and an action plan to help them develop the skills they will need to be successful in their day to day lives. I also try to make myself readily available for when my clients maybe experiencing a difficult time and need that extra boost of motivation to push past the struggle they’re experiencing at that moment.
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
-Tupac
I look forward to working with you!

LaReina is a very thoughtful, encouraging and qualified counselor for the symptoms I had related to panic attacks. In a very short time she coached me clearly with specific actions to take. These actions worked well for me and I learned how to better address these symptoms in the future.
