Self Esteem Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

If you want a therapist dedicated to helping you and/or your marriage who will challenge you and the ways you do things with directness, humor, honesty, and care, please give me a call. I can help if you are willing to take an honest look into yourself and your patterns and dedicate yourself to changing. As your therapist I will help you find ways to break through your limiting patterns and beliefs so you can move forward and live the life and have the relationship you want. Warning: my therapy is not easy and not for everyone, as it is challenging and requires humility and courage to do the hard work of changing.

Accepting New Clients. I come from a multicultural and diverse background which assists me while working with individuals, couples, and families from different cultures, sexual orientations, and religions. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are trying to work through experiences and emotions to improve their lives. I believe individuals possess a great amount of resolve and inner strength which aids them in their ability to heal. With my help, these individuals can bring forward these attributes and qualities to thrive.

Do your emotions and life feel out of control? You’re living day to day trying to simply get by, juggling your relationships and responsibilities and feeling like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Your marriage might be hanging on by a thread, or you may be struggling with depression or anxiety you can’t seem to escape. Maybe you’re a trauma survivor and struggling to work through your past experiences or a first responder experiencing anxiety every time a call comes in. Things are hard right now, but you know that there’s more to life than sleepless nights and anxiety-filled days.

I provide an open, caring and safe environment for you to discuss your most private difficulties and challenges. I focus on building a positive therapeutic relationship to promote maximum positive change and growth. I specialize in highlighting the goals and standards that you want to achieve and processing how your daily decisions/actions bring you closer to success within that goal... or take you further away from what you would like to accomplish. I use Reality Therapy to help clients on improving present relationships and circumstances, while steering away from much discussion of past events.

I have a passion for working with mom’s, individuals, couples, and families to help them through depression, anxiety, trauma, and transitions. It is my goal to help clients feel understood on their path towards healing.

Your worries and concerns are valid, normal and understandably are impacting your life. Only you can fully know what its like to walk in your shoes. Through therapy, we can sift through the areas that are currently getting in the way and are not serving you and your life. Together we can figure out how to create more peace and joy and lessen the negative feelings that may still be lingering from your trauma, past relationships, or experiences. I also specialize in Sex Therapy, as a sex positive therapist working with individuals and couples, my goal is to help you regain pleasure, satisfaction and intimacy with yourself + others

I have been a licensed therapist in Oklahoma for 6 years and primarily worked in the community counseling setting. Proceeding my work within a large agency setting I gained more experience working with BetterHelp. Currently, I am working to grow my own practice. Clients who are wanting to be challenged with a compassionate touch are often a good fit with me. During our sessions we may dig deep to find the events in life that are still affecting you negatively. However, we will also be working on increasing healthy behaviors, thoughts, and emotions (e.g. communication/boundaries, coping skills, adaptive positive thinking).

Being human is tough sometimes, but you don't have to struggle alone. I offer an affordable, safe and affirming space where we can focus on you; on where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to be. I don't believe in one size fits all therapy. We are each unique, and together we will find your individual path to authenticity and well-being. Carl Jung said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." I would like to help you do that.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Shay, I'm an LPC and mental health wellness advocate! My aim is to hold space for my clients in the most professional, ethical, and authentic way possible! I believe we are our own answer; when given adequate space, tools, and support, we will be empowered by what we find!

Finding a therapist that is right for you can be overwhelming. My goal is to make the process of getting started as easy as possible. Life can be challenging. We all have unique struggles, and that is why I value a therapeutic strategy and plan that is individualized for each client. I want to help clients build skills they can utilize everyday. I am passionate about helping clients improve their quality of life to make everyday a little easier.

I'm really passionate about helping people understand how their past is influencing their life currently and helping them develop insight to make changes for a more fulfilling life. I have specialized trauma training to help clients resolve not only the "big T" traumas but also the "little t stuff"... the chronic smaller traumas that shape and mold us too. I get that not everyone wants to dig up the past and also offer counseling for those who want to work through current issues and learn new skills and coping mechanisms.

Life comes at you fast, and does not come with instructions, or easy answers. I hope as a therapist to provide a safe, welcoming space in which we can wrestle with and struggle through difficulties together. My approach to therapy is to address a person’s current issues as well as to explore the life and person in which they are occurring. I believe a person is much more than their symptoms and struggles and I strive to meet and know each client I work with in this holistic way. My aim is to help others find peace and meaning in their lives and to accompany them as they work to live in accordance to their own values and beliefs.

My experience encompasses in-depth mental health services for clients experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, family and parenting issues, suicidality, stress, low-self esteem, divorce, and other concerns. The goal of therapy is to partner with the client in addressing and processing through mental health issues. Productive mental health care does not look the same for everyone, and so my goal as a therapist is to utilize a flexible approach to therapeutic orientation and intervention.

Struggling with ruminating, intrusive and unwanted thoughts, overthinking, and constantly reviewing life? Do you fear important relationships and even your career is starting to be impacted? Thought patterns like those as well as searching for assurance through loved ones or on the internet, can be a daunting and endless loop. It is time you can go from mood swings, feeling out of control, or being trapped in your mind to being your truest self, leaning into healthy coping, having hope, and feeling confident in your relationships and career!

Feeling stuck or lost? Frustrated there's no rulebook or GPS for life? At least there's counseling. Admittedly, opening up about our problems is not always easy. As a counselor though, I am committed to being accepting, confidential, and real with the folks I help. I am here to help with identifying and working through the problems in living you face. That includes supporting you while exploring new possibilities and ways to experience yourself, relationships, and the world around you. Choosing to contact a counselor can be difficult, but I hope you take the opportunity to reach out and see how I can help.
