I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a LCSW I am licensed to provide family and individual therapy. I have been a licensed therapist for 7 years. Some of my previous jobs have been teacher, working with developmentally disabled adults for 15 yeas. I also have worked for the State of Oklahoma in Adult Protection Services, Developmental Disabilities and Child Welfare. I have worked with individuals and families who have been involved with Child Welfare investigations. Some of my experiences have been working with individuals with depression, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, relationship issues. My style is warm and non judgmental. I feel labels limit us but my treatment style can be adjusted to your individual needs. I have used Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, DBT and even Play therapy and yes even adults can benefit from this. I attend trainings and even at my age I enjoy learning new treatment types. I have enjoyed recently learning about Mindfulness. Mindfulness is as old as the hills. This philosophy or life style has lead me to be more productive recently. I know how difficult it is to reach out for help. By reaching out you are now prepared to work on the issues which are preventing you from enjoying a more rewarding life. Sometimes you feel better just to have someone who will listen to you without judgement and offer occasional advice to help you deal with conflicts. Now you have reached out I look forward to help develop an individual treatment plan and working with you to overcome the problems that have caused you to reach out. *** Please note I do not provide Christian based therapy and I do not identify as Christian in my spiritual beliefs. I do not provide Christian or spiritual based services that include Bible wisdom and prayer.

D. Jesse Bruesch
What is holding you back? Trauma, anger, shame, sadness, worry? Who would you be if you were able to let any of these go? My name is Jesse Bruesch and I have been a therapist for 9 years. There are ways forward. I am grateful for the opportunity to walk with others on their journeys. Helping people plan goals for their growth and then seeing them surpass what they believed they could, is my passion. Planning our directions can be hard, because as we heal, our mindsets and directions change. I am an EMDR therapist and I also work with cognitive behavioral therapy, with an emphasis on the psychodynamic approach. EMDR has been a game changer in my practice for helping clients to find their way past the traumas that many didn’t believe they could overcome. I have experience working with a range of issues from ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD has been the majority focus of my most recent work, dealing with acute, complex, chronic, battlefield, and even delayed onset. If you suffer from any of these, and are motivated for change, then I know we can help. So, if you are ready for treatment and feel comfortable enough to begin, “Welcome to therapy, what are your goals?”
