Therapists in Blackwell, OK
Blackwell has been the subject of some media attention due to the contamination of soil and ground water that occurred after zinc smelting was prominent in the economy. Even though most of this contamination has been contained today, there are still many people suffering. Sometimes people suffer not only with physical health, but mental health as well.
If you are having problems with your mental health or emotional well-being, it can be helpful to talk to someone outside the situation. Blackwell-area counselors are available now to offer this type of support. Contact a licensed therapist today for assistance.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for reading my profile. I begin counseling by listening. Every person is unique and your experiences are different from others. I do not tell people what to do. Instead I will help you explore the possibilities that your problems reveal and guide you to choose the best path for yourself. Experience teaches me that people get stuck when the story of themselves doesn't match their current reality. The stuckness usually comes from believing that change is too hard or not possible based on past choices. The truth is we choose our way going forward. There may be obstacles, but giving up on the life we want is deeply dissatisfying. I enjoy joining people to encourage them to be true to themselves. There is only one you. No one can else can be you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arkansas and Oklahoma. I have 26 years of experience in helping people choose their life instead of feeling like passengers. I have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, elementary and high schools, and am now in private practice for my 16th year. My work is primarily with people experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, traumatic events, family problems, work problems, and relationship problems. I use problem solving, supportive techniques, and cognitive / behavioral techniques. But mostly I ask my clients to make changes and assess the results with me, then choose what works best. You are a courageous person to even consider taking this step. It shows you want to take back the wheel of your life. I would be honored to be chosen to see where you can go!

I have a strong motivation to work with and help people of all backgrounds develop coping skills for all types of issues.

As I've worked over the years using interventions such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Centered Person, I've fostered ways of improving the lives of people who experience depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), PTSD, and suicidal feelings.
