Hello! My name is Miranda Metcalf (she/her) and I am an LPC with over 4 years of being independently licensed, and have been in the mental health and substance abuse fields, in different capacities, for about 15 years. I have worked with clients experiencing difficulties related to trauma, depression, anxiety, ADD, substance abuse and family issues. I have worked with clients ranging in age from 3 yo to in their 60's and enjoy working clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. I do not believe in judging people for the way they choose to live their lives, or for being true to themselves. My counseling style has previously been described as caring and honest. I believe in treating everyone with mutual respect and am open and honest. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as client centered and humanistic techniques. Each client and family is different and unique, and as such I will tailor my approach to your specific needs. I believe it takes courage and a strong desire to improve your life to seek out help. I commend you for taking this step to improving your life. While I cannot make changes for you, I am honored to help you do so, and look forward to walking your journey with you.

I am a licensed therapist with over 38 years of experience. I have provided a wide range of counseling services and clinical oversight of many therapists over the years & mental health services throughout the state. I have 25+ years focusing on helping children & families of trauma. I have experience in working with parents and very difficult children. I have experience in working with women of abuse and relationship issues. I have extensive experience in dealing with trauma. I believe in treating others with respect & compassion while understanding where they are in life. My foundation is have faith in the person & hope for the future!

Hello I'm Scotty, a 42 year old white male in the Southwestern part of America. I'm a father of 3 boys, a friend to many dogs, and I've been married for 19 great years so far. I love movies, music, art, podcasts, video games, disc golf and whatever im currently dorking out on. How my brain works & my views of therapy: ***Therapy is scary and embarrassing and certainly uncomfortable for a lot of people. We’ve been told only “the crazies” go to therapy or it's for “weak” people. Realistic therapy is identifying and unlearning destructive beliefs/patterns while building coping skills and emotional intelligence to take control of your life. Its like going to the gym. At first you feel like you’ve made the wrong choice, it’s hard, you don’t know if you’re doing it right and want to give up. But you keep trying and then you realize that things are improving and getting easier to manage. ***Therapy is about feeling comfortable and honest. I want you to be comfortable and not feel like you have to act any certain way. The more “you” you can be, the more you will be able to address underlying issues successfully. You can curse, yell, cry, have a smoke, pet your animals (my dogs are gonna make a guest appearance), talk about how you don’t like your mother/kids, or what you really want to say to your jerk boss. Ultimately, therapy should be a place to be uncensored without fear of judgment/embarrassment/retaliation/telling others. I have more “undignified” moments in my life than I can remember so I am not about to judge you. I don’t believe in making you feel worse about what happened in your life. My job is helping you take those situations and repurpose them for motivation to do better, make peace with yourself and stop it from continuing to wreck your life. I believe in using humor when possible and not being uptight at all. I prefer to be honest with you and not beat around the bush. Dealing with heavy emotional and behavioral issues isn't about an always positive attitude. It's about recognizing what changes you need in life and working on realistic ways to address them. At the same time, you need support and someone who will not judge you. Someone to be in your corner during what is most likely one of the harder decisions in your life. * Learn to think rationally, flexibly and be open to change. Most of life is about having a healthy balance. Start asking if ____ is productive or destructive instead of right/wrong or fair/unfair. Realize everything is contradicting, complicated and ever-changing. If you start to think in these ways you will improve your overall happiness, daily stress, self esteem and relationships. * I believe in client centered therapy where you are in control of what you work on in treatment. Nothing is set in stone and we can make changes as needed. We will take small, realistic steps towards your goals at a speed you are comfortable with. I will obviously encourage you to step outside your comfort zone but never throw you in the deep end and never make you discuss anything you don't want to. If you start talking about something and its too much, lets talk about tacos for a minute. Career: I've worked in the counseling field for 15 years in outpatient, inpatient acute care, and residential settings (A.K.A. standard office counseling, mental health hospitals, substance abuse rehabs). I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2010 and my Master's degree in Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma in 2015. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2020.

Debbie Harris is Co-Owner of New Creation Counseling Center and currently provides direct patient therapy.

I am licensed by the state of Oklahoma as a marriage and family therapist. I can help people in their families and in their relationships even with only one person doing the session. You would take home and share the insights and guidance as to what to do that would help. I work also with parents and caregivers of troubled children, including children on the Autism Spectrum. I have six recently published books available on Amazon related to these issues: The One Week Manager (working at home stress free), Those First Six Years (Developmental Psychology, skills children need to develop) a book on Marriage called The 7th Contract; Healing from Spiritual and Reglious Wounds; a workbook fo couples called Beyond the Vows; and a novel: The End of North America: a meteoroligist saves the world from doomsday. I have been doing therapy for 45 years, am a AAMFT Fellow, have worked with a tribe for six years in Oklahoma as the Indian Child Welfare Director. I listen to you, tell you what I think about it, make suggestions and recommendations. If that makes sense to you we would then make a plan of action that you believe is helpful. I have done a great deal of work with people wounded spiritually or by religion, and with single parents.

I have been providing counseling for about 25 years. I worked my first 10 years with the elderly population. For the past 15 years I have worked with all age ranges in a variety of areas. I meet my clients where they are, using Client Centered focus, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (cause & effect) of behaviors. I also use EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) to assist with trauma. My clients are a critical part of my treatment plan development as my desire is to assist in their success - effectively working myself out of their lives. They learn the coping skills rather than dependence on a person to go from one crisis to the next.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in meeting clients on a level playing field as each client has a unique and personal understanding of themselves and is an expert in their own lives. I look to my clients to educate me on what is important to them and how we might best work together to reach a positive outcome. My fundamental belief is that most people are doing the best they can at any given point in their life and there are straight forward reasons for doing what they choose to do. I don’t get bogged down in talking about good or bad, right or wrong, or he said she said but rather what are more effective choices in creating a life worth living. I am extensively trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is the number one therapeutic modality in the world bar none and was developed by Dr. Aaron Beck. I had the good fortune to receive 160 hours of advanced training by the Beck Institute. I also am certified (C-DBT) in Dialectical Behavior Therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan where the focus is on making decisions about what will work effectively for you and what is not effectively. Information on both CBT and DBT are available online to help you make an informed decision on how best to move forward in your goals and in your life.
