I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oklahoma in 2005.

Reaching out for help is not a weakness or proof that something is broken. Instead, it takes courage and is rooted in hope. My passion is to tap into and foster the very hope and courage that brings people into therapy. From a family systems perspective, I work within the context of relationships such as couples, parent/child, siblings or other interpersonal relationships. I believe a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial to helping others find solutions and achieve their goals.

I have been working with families/children for over 33 years. During this time, I've conducted research on family issues such as non-traditional family structure, teen age parenting and academic competence. Also during this time, I have worked in Therapeutic Foster care and have taught courses in Parenting and LifeSpan Development at Oklahoma State University. All families have strengths. It is important to recognize these strengths and build on them for change and improved family functioning. Let me help you find the strength to change and become empowered for you and your family.

** No openings at this time. Waitlist option available at www.lilyfield.org/counseling ** I believe that we are shaped, but not defined by our experiences, and that having a safe and supportive place to process those experiences can be healing. Humans are built for connection, and my goal is to help clients reach a place where they feel connected to their authentic selves and are able to connect with those who are important to them. I seek to empower my clients by helping them make sense of their history, imagine what a hopeful future might look like, and realize the great resources they already have access to within themselves.

In my practice I see clients of all ages, for therapy and testing/evaluations. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/dependence, behavior disorders and family systems issues. Most of my clients present with a combination of symptoms. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of the client and use research proven techniques to meet the needs of the individual, or family, in a collaborative setting. I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

Maurene Pantaleano has dedicated over six years to the behavioral health field.

She then completed her master's in counseling at the University of Rochester, NY, focusing on trauma work in domestic violence shelters and youth residential treatment programs. She has experience in community-based settings, including schools and integrated care models. She currently works at Collaborative Counseling and Training, a private practice in NW Oklahoma City.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I take an integrative approach to counseling. I see the client as a unique individual, and I purpose to meet them wherever they are at. This is called Client Centered Therapy. I enjoy working with Adults, Couples, and teens.

My approach to therapy involves focusing on the family unit, meeting each individual family member where they’re at while treating them as an important part of the therapeutic process. I do this by treating each family member equally and with compassion. I often get calls from parents asking me to help their child and my response is always the same… “Let's work together to help your kiddo.” Studies show that when parents are involved, kids recover from trauma significantly faster.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have experience working with children and families struggling with the challenges of chronic illnesses, complex trauma and mood disorders.

Thank you for taking the first step in seeking out counseling. Many clients are having trouble navigating through a whole bunch of life and personal issues. It may include difficulties with relationships, problems on the job, unresolved issues from the past, grief and loss, mood disorders, impulse control, uncertainties about the future. Some people are reluctant to seek out a professional thinking how can they understand my issues? What do I talk about? Can I really open up to them about some of my deepest issues? Well, I want you to know, that whatever it is, you have come to the right place. I look forward to guiding you.

Hi, I am a licensed marital and family therapist. I help my clients by empowering them to become in charge of their lives. My role is to help guide you to your ideal future. I believe YOU are the expert of your life and YOU are the only one who can create your ideal change. We all go through times when life's challenges seem to get the best of us. However, WE will find your path and get you back on track. I provide a safe place for you to come and be as you are. You do not have to live in this vicious, emotionally exhausting cycle any longer.

Life is challenging! Let me help you identify and process those challenges as a team. Learning to prioritize and organize provides room to develop healthy coping. Share with me your life goals so implementation can follow. Most of the time people need a professional to validate and provide structure in obtaining goals. Let me be that person for you!!!!

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and difficult and it can make it hard to see the light beyond what darkness you feel you’re trapped in. I help individuals seek and identify tools and support that will help them navigate these struggles and come out of that darkness with hope and stability. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems, but I like to incorporate techniques from rational emotive behavior therapy as well. I am experienced in providing individual, group, crisis, and family therapy.

Our first relationships are the foundation on which we build all future relationships. If our foundation is shaking, unreliable, or scary we develop a sense of disconnectedness or that we are in some way lacking. This feeling of vulnerability leads us to act in ways we don’t understand. Some may find themselves being overly clingy/controlling for fear that they may be left alone. Some have self-doubt leading to Anxiety, Depression, or addiction. While others shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves. We all have needs and it’s okay to have them met but how we do that can be more destructive than helpful.

I work with individuals,couples and families who desire to solve emotional, relational, physical and spiritual challenges. I will guide you to reach life goals, solve relational problems, overcome emotional issues, and achieve Inner Peace. You will discover your strengths and sharpen your abilities as you create a positive vision for the future. I am very excited to work with you. Call and ask for a free consultation.
