I believe therapy can be a helpful and positive experience for you! I am here to guide you on this journey. We will work together toward alleviating symptoms, improving relationships, and reaching your life goals. We will create a safe space where we will be able to communicate openly and honestly. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, fun, and genuine. I've been a licensed therapist since 1994, so I have experience with a wide variety of issues. I use various methods and techniques, and I tailor these to meet the needs of each individual. I love being a therapist because each journey is unique! I do provide some live sessions, but I rely heavily on the asynchronous messaging. I’ve found that this mode offers time for the client and the therapist to process information throughout the communication. This can be very helpful in the process of therapy. I’d love to work with you if it sounds like we’d be a good fit!

Thoughts and emotions can be complicated and overwhelming. No matter what challenges you are facing you do not have to walk alone. It is my privilege to accept you where you are and join you on your journey. You and I can create a safe place for you to be yourself and tell your story without fear of judgment. While we work at your pace, I can help you find and use your strengths to solve problems and offer some practical tools to overcome obstacles. I am here to guide you through what is holding you back so you can create the life you want and experience it to the fullest. As a graduate of Oklahoma City University with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist with more than 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with people of all ages and I have experience in many areas including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Abuse, PTSD, Family Conflict, Low Self-Esteem, Grief and Loss, Parenting, Ineffective Boundaries, Anger Management, and Stress Management. I believe you have the expert knowledge about your life and you get to decide the direction you want therapy to go as well as how deep you want to dive into your experiences and feelings. My integrative approach to therapy incorporates techniques which will work best with your particular challenges and comfort level. I can assist you in focused solutions, exploring the way thoughts and beliefs can contribute to negative feelings and behaviors or identifying themes in your life story and finding ways to “write” new chapters with positive outcomes.

Whatever the reason you were brave enough to reach out please know that we can collaborate and build a relationship based on trust and respect so that your needs can be met. Let’s take the next step together… I look forward to meeting you!
Kevin West
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from the University of Colorado in Denver in 1995 with a master’s degree in counseling psychology/counseling education. Since then, I have amassed over 30 years of experience seeing clients in a variety of settings. I have worked with high school students on their personal and professional development. At universities, I led workshops for non-traditional (older) students. I have developed teambuilding workshops for companies and provided career counseling for individuals. I have been invited to present personality type workshops to various community groups. I have worked for agencies and in private practice. More recently, I have worked with client’s in their homes, addressing the gamut of personal issues a person can face: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger issues, premarital/marital issues, suicide, addictions in the family, low self-esteem, family of origin issues, and others. I am currently licensed in the state of Oklahoma Early in my education, I was encouraged to develop my own style of counseling, and that is what I have done. I have many different theoretical techniques in my “counseling toolbox”: cognitive/thought oriented, behavioral oriented, past/present/and future oriented. I steer clear of typical “psychobabble,” but I am fond of a good analogy. I like to use humor, and I believe that we all can laugh at ourselves if we feel secure enough. Knowing that we are loved in spite of (or maybe even because of) our flaws can be quite encouraging. I will accept you, and your issues, because I know I have my share. In fact, I was once told that the difference between a therapist and a client is that a therapist is further along in sorting out their issues. The counseling setting for me can be similar to the old joke where a man loses his wallet on a dark street. Another man sees the first one searching around under a streetlight and asks if he can be of assistance. The first man explains that he has lost his wallet and would welcome any assistance. The two men comb the area thoroughly, looking everywhere to no avail. Finally the second man says to the first, “Are you sure you lost it here?” To which the first man replies, “No, I lost it down in that dark alley.” The second man says, “Well, Why are we looking here?!” The first man says, “Because the light is better here.” A good therapist can be a flashlight - helping you explore the darker areas of your life. But, don’t worry, we won’t go until you are ready. I look forward to searching with you.

Rilda Smith
As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma for over 20 years, I have a systemic perspective on the issues clients bring to therapy. I understand that your difficulties exist in relationship to your larger circle of family, friends and colleagues. Clients appreciate this perspective because it seems like I “get it” differently than someone who doesn't view people systemically. Some of the specific struggles I treat are coping with all types of grief and loss (not just death), managing life transitions, anxiety/stress, caregiver issues, sleep struggles, communication, anger management, money/financial issues, self-esteem and experiencing compassion fatigue and burnout. A particular passion of mine is working with Third Culture Kids (TCKs), especially helping them transition to living in the United States. I have walked alongside TCKs and Adult TCKs for many years and have extensive experience in this therapeutic area. Ultimately, I believe, you are the expert on your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you! I hope to be someone who can help you along the way! Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started.
