Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

Are you looking for online, video or telephone sessions (e.g. Zoom)? Do you find yourself feeling depressed, sad, hopeless, or worthlessness? Have you lost interest in doing what you love? Do you have fears that is causing negative thoughts? Do you feel stress from day to day activities? Do you find yourself experiencing fatigue?

Do you need an alcohol and drug assessment to regain your driver's license due to an DUI or possession offense?

My personal philosophy regarding therapy is to focus on the family unit and meet each individual member of the family where they are and treat them as an important part of the therapy. Parents often call me and state they need help for their child and my first response is to treat the child but consider the whole family unit as a part of the therapy treatment plan. Meeting the individual needs of the client is of the utmost importance.

I chose my profession because I enjoy helping people overcome their individual struggles and to find meaning in life's uncertainty. I view my therapeutic role as a partner to the client, collaborating in the problem-solving process and seeking out solutions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my primary treatment methods are cognitive-behavioral and strengths-based therapy. My clients receive individualized care to meet their personal needs, not a cookie-cutter approach. My practice includes individuals, couples and families facing a wide range of issues from depression, marital conflict to oppositional defiant teenagers.

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.

Even though today is a new day in your relationship, you feel like you’re reliving the same day over and over. You feel stuck. You and your partner are arguing over the same things. Nothing gets resolved. There is no communication (because talking to each other is difficult and very painful). You’re forced to wear a smile in public, but inside you feel afraid, overwhelmed, and stressed.

Hello! My name is Tara Hatcher. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma. I have a Master of Science in Counseling with Emphasis in Clinical Mental Health. I have five years of working in the mental health field. Prior to this I worked as a nurse for nearly two decades. I have a waiting list at this time.

Life sometimes gets in the way of living our lives to the fullest. With changes in family situations, behavior, loss and pain, it can be difficult finding hope and the confidence to face these daily challenges. Children and teens sometimes are unable to identify their feelings appropriately and suffer without understanding. Children communicate through play and through play therapy the client is able to process feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

I am passionate about what I do. I believe you already have inside of you the ability to make the changes you want in your life. I love to see people find healing by taking captive their self defeating thoughts and making changes in their behavior. I know the most important thing I can do as a therapist is build a trusting relationship with the people who come into my office.

At Oklahoma Clarity Therapy, I work with clients to find clarity and develop emotional resistance. These skills can help you work through the issues that are causing stress and pain. My goal is to help you through difficult times that might be related to the death of a loved one, family or relationship problems, divorce, school or work stress, loss of a job, or any unexpected struggle in life. I believe positive change is possible regardless of one's circumstances in life. I have been in practice for 15 years. I have experience with children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals.

I understand that while we are all under construction, doing the work alone can be burdensome. I like to come along side my clients in the process of building a better tomorrow.

Currently will not be accepting new clients. I believe children can be helped through a transition phase, or a traumatic event through play. Children need to be able to have their safe place to go to when many things in their life are too difficult. The age of the child does not matter (0-18) can be effected in a positive way through therapy. This can occur through multiple forms of therapy. Many of the concepts used in Play therapy can be transferred to adolescents and adults while keeping family dynamics at the focus of the therapy process.

I understand that life happens and that sometimes we, as people, need to reach out for help, regardless of the circumstances. I've always loved being there for people and helping them to the best of my ability. I specialize in treatments around the individual or family's needs. I'm an advocate, a counselor, and a believer that life can get easier and manageable. Also, I am licensed in the great state of Tennessee, my home!

Change is possible... I believe a strong and trusting client-therapist relationship is the key to successful therapy. My Client's tell me I an non-judgmental, trustworthy and have helped them tremendously. I work hard to create a safe and nurturing environment for each and every one of my clients. With over 18 years of experience, I am comfortable working with a wide variety of individuals and problems including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress management, grief and trauma. I employ a variety of interventions to aid my clients in developing mindfulness, tolerance, emotions regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

I am a licensed marital and family therapist in Oklahoma with over 20 years of experience working with youth, individuals, couples, and families. I have provided counseling to clients with various concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflict, parenting problems, autism spectrum disorder, anger management, and ADHD. I have also supported couples with premarital and marital counseling. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe, valued, and respected in a way that will allow you to feel comfortable enough to talk about the challenges that have brought you to therapy.

The only thing constant in life is change..., but change can be scary and contribute to anxiety. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, loss of employment, divorce, or a new dynamic in your family, counseling can help. I offer a non-judgmental approach to counseling with an emphasis on helpful vs. unhelpful thinking. I am excited to announce that I am now providing Neurofeedback for a wide variety of disorders. Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to perform optimally. Neurofeedback is not counseling. A QEEG brain map will show the areas of the brain that could benefit from training.

Based on unconditional positive regard for all individuals, my focus is on client value and self worth. I believe that all persons have the right and the capacity to experience life free from thoughts, emotions, and environments that debilitate and reduce their self worth. That's the one "entitlement" due to every individual. I find it rewarding and gratifying when positive change occurs as a result of someone realizing and embracing that concept. I further believe all persons have a right to happiness, joy and liberation. I'm privileged to take that journey to help others experience that victory.

I have worked with a wide variety of clients, along with a wide variety of issues/problems. I enjoy the challenge that each client brings.

"We all experience challenges in life allow those to bring us down/overcome them. Ideally through those situations we can learn & draw strength & wisdom that's where I'd like to come in to help. Change isn't easy but together we can work to minimize your negative coping skills, thoughts &reactions. Learn to cope in healthy ways &improve your quality of life. I'd like to walk alongside you during that journey & see you come out the other side a stronger, healthier, happier person." Therapy is an opportunity to re-establish balance in your life &reconnect with yourself & others in new & meaningful ways.

Despite our strengths we can feel stuck, unable to move forward with a life that aligns with our goals and values. We often continue using coping skills that were once helpful but now no longer help move us through the more challenging and unexpected issues in our lives. Together we identify these familiar yet unproductive styles of coping with compassion. I use techniques that approach difficult thoughts and feelings without fearing, fighting or running from them while being able to address them with acceptance.
