Scotty Hixson
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.

Joel Harris
I could have generated an AI description of myself, but it seemed so phony and disingenuous. I prefer to be real, genuine, and down to earth with people. I've been providing counseling for fifteen years in that time authenticity is essential. People want to know that they are talking to a real person, and that they can be real with that person. In truth, I see counseling as my ministry, my purpose. I find people fascinating and love to see their gifts shine through. For many, the journey has taken them down some dark and lonely roads. Maybe they feel like they are adrift at sea and don't know how to regain a solid footing. I love to be that person who comes alongside and helps them on this journey. Then their gifts, their sense of purpose, or the challenges that they are facing seem clearer or more manageable. I love working with people from all ages, but have a particular passion for those in the transitional ages of life (teenager/young adult). I feel comfortable addressing a number of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship issues. I come from a Christian perspective and love working with people interested in incorporating or addressing elements of faith, but truthfully, I work work with anyone looking for a compassionate, listening ear. I look forward to meeting you!

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilience, process difficult emotions, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My work is grounded in understanding the unique experiences of marginalized communities, with a particular focus on healing from prejudice, discrimination, and systemic stress. I believe every individual deserves compassionate, empathy, and support that honors their full humanity and potential for transformation.
