Therapists in Tonkawa, OK

I have been a therapist for over 10 years. My full time day therapist position involves working with troubled women entangled in the legal system in various ways. I have previously worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. I believe that life is much too short to not be happy, and every human should reach for that goal. Each healthy relationship between two people is unique and to be treasured. At times the journey through that relationship can be tricky. This is my way of telling you that sexual orientation, race, or culture are not barriers for me. I embrace uniqueness and promote that theme. POOR COMMUNICATION IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR TROUBLED RELATIONSHIPS. My counseling style is relaxed and I believe in a therapeutic relationship in which we will work to find the answer and awareness together. I believe I am here to help you find your answers. Once again let me state that I am here to help you find your answers! Laughter and humor is often the best medicine even in a therapeutic relationship. I am trained in Seeking Safety and Finding Your Best Self by Lisa Navajits. I also find the 5 Love Languages to be useful. If you are ready to take the journey towards solutions I am ready. I want to help others who want to help themselves. I will never pressure you to make future therapy sessions, but will encourage you to reach out and schedule when you are ready. I will make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I check for messages every day and will respond at a minimum within 12-18 hours.

Hi friends, My name is Thomas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work, licensed in Oklahoma. I have practiced as a clinical social worker for 20 years and have worked in a variety of settings to include community mental health, hospice, and working with Veterans. I know that the first step of reaching out takes a lot of courage. Anytime we venture into the unknown, any time when we look for change, it can feel overwhelming and scary. However, I am ready to support you and guide you through this counseling/therapy process. Although our work together will be collaborative, you will be in the driver's seat as you identify issues that are relevant to you and that you want to address. My approach is strength based and grounded in the here and now. If we begin working together and for whatever reason you do not feel comfortable with me or believe that I am providing helpful techniques, I will be more than happy to help you transition to a different therapist. It is important that you feel completely comfortable, are able to express yourself without reservation, and feel listened too. Therapy/counseling isn't about the therapist; it is about you getting what you need to help you reach your goals. Life is challenging and full of twists and turns, Better Help is here for you as you navigate your path. I look forward to working with you!

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.

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.
