Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Broken Arrow, OK

Therapy to restore pleasure and emotional safety after sexual assault and other trauma for adults and their partners. I specialize in three areas: sex & intimacy, trauma & emotional regulation, and anxiety disorders such as OCD and BPD. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and partners experiencing intimacy challenges related to desire discrepancy, neurodivergence, and partners hoping to rebuild healthy sexual relationships. I strive to provide care in a space that deeply honors identity and lived experience.

I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 3 years, and I specialize in family systems, child play therapy. I also work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Specializing in anxiety, sex therapy, and trauma recovery. I hold a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology, am EMDR-trained, and am currently pursuing my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. My work focuses on helping clients heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, and cultivate emotional and sexual well-being through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Before becoming a therapist, I built a strong background in business, leadership, and process improvement, which now helps me bring clarity, structure, and empowerment into the therapy space. I use these strengths to help clients recognize their capabilities and move toward meaningful change.

I work with teenagers and adults, addressing anxiety, trauma, sexual concerns, women’s issues, and attachment challenges. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for every client.

Reaching out for support isn’t easy, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges—whether anxiety, grief, or the weight of past experiences—on your own. I’m honored to walk beside you on your path toward healing, growth, and self-understanding.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting teens and adults through life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate everyday struggles, build emotional awareness, and develop tools for healthier living. Whether someone is facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or suicidal thoughts, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be seen, heard, and supported. My mission is to walk alongside clients as they reclaim their voice, build confidence, and move towards a more hopeful and fulfilling future.

Hi, I’m Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, National Certified Counselor and Registered Play Therapist passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges with greater understanding, connection, and confidence.

My clinical background is deeply rooted in infant and early childhood mental health, attachment, trauma, emotional regulation, and strengthening relationships within families. Over the years, my work has expanded to include adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting stress, burnout, and feeling disconnected from themselves or others.

One area I am especially passionate about is supporting individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years. I feel deeply called to support mothers and parents as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that can come with bringing new life into the world.

I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have it all figured out.

My therapy work is my purpose. I love what I do.

Individual Well Being, which includes stress and anxiety reduction, navigating life transitions, finding coping strategies and hope and meaning during grief and loss and working through trauma. Relationship Repair and Connection using couples and family therapy, parent child therapy and repairing sibling relationships. Creating What You Most Desire through discovering what gets in the way and then creating steps to get where you want to go..

My training as a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor, along with being a Registered Play Therapist gives me the best back ground to assist you in these areas. My Masters in Family Relations and Child Development and Post Graduate Work in Human Relations serve as a strong foundation. My professional training in the Gottman Method and Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy is very helpful, as well as being a Prepare Enrich Facilitator for Assessment of Couple Relationships.

My most recent intensive training program was to become a Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner. This is a powerful mind body approach. The lay public calls it "tapping".

I am in private practice focusing on all of the above, doing in person and online virtual therapy. And in the past I worked in the non profit world in a similar capacity, as a therapist and supervisor.

I currently hold supervisory status to supervise LPC Candidates and Registered Play Therapist Candidates.

It is my complete passion to see you healthy and whole. Together, we can journey to reach your goals to heal from past traumas, troubles, depression, and rejection. I provide a safe space for you to share and work through your deepest shame, guilt, fears, desires, dreams, and more. I am here, without judgment, to help you become the best version of yourself. Help is just steps away.

Currently accepting adult clients of any age, including seniors, with a focus on trauma, including domestic violence (including emotional, verbal, and financial abuse), sexual abuse/assault, religious trauma/cults, and various sources of PTSD. I have experience in working with various other traumas, not limited to those listed.

Dedicated Therapist, Educator, and Lifelong Learner

My path to therapy wasn’t a straight line—it was a journey of persistence, family, and a commitment to helping others navigate their complex stories.

Born and raised in Tulsa, I earned a Psychology degree from Christian Brothers University before returning to Oklahoma to serve as an educator. With a second degree in Special Education focused on Emotional Disturbances, I spent years in the classroom supporting children and families through unique emotional challenges.

While I always felt called to therapy, I prioritized my roles as a mother and teacher in a small ranching community. Following a divorce, I turned that transition into a new beginning. As a single parent, I balanced full-time work and night school, graduating with my Master’s degree and a 4.0 GPA.

Real Experience for Real Life I bring clinical expertise in CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy, but also a wealth of lived experience. Today, I am remarried in a vibrant blended family with eight children and three grandkids. I intimately understand the dynamics of divorce, blended families, and the balancing act of personal growth. My family is my world, and this groundedness allows me to show up for you with authentic empathy and practical wisdom.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life's most difficult challenges. I specialize in panic, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger management, helping clients build the skills they need to heal and thrive.

My name is Lari Smith, and I’ve spent nearly 15 years helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold multiple graduate‐level degrees, including a Master of Science in Human Resources (2006), a Master’s Certificate in Addiction Counseling (2016), and a Master of Science in Psychological Services (2017). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and am currently under supervision for my LADC.

Before entering private practice, I worked for the Department of Human Services and later served as a school counselor in rural K–8 schools. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting children, families, and individuals facing complex or overwhelming life circumstances. Today, I work with clients of all ages and have a special appreciation for both children and older adults.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, but I frequently draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have experience treating a wide range of concerns, including adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, child sexual abuse, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other mental health challenges. I also bring personal insight into chronic pain after experiencing a serious car accident in 2017 that resulted in multiple broken bones.

I currently practice in a rural Oklahoma community and am accepting new clients. I offer virtual sessions and accept insurance, with a full list available through Headway.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’ve been married for 28 years and have three adult children. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my four‐month‐old granddaughter—and I love baking.

If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation. I’d be honored to support you on your journey—reach out today and let’s get started.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, relaxed space where you are in control. My approach is laid back and client-led, allowing you to dictate the direction of your therapy based on what feels most important to you. I don’t come in with a rigid agenda or a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, I’m here to listen, support, and gently guide you as you work toward the areas of growth and healing you want to focus on. Together, we’ll move at your pace, building insight, skills, and confidence in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. Evening and Saturday appointment available.
