I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma, with a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. Since entering the mental health field in 2019, I’ve brought over two decades of experience working with high-risk populations and individuals from hard places—both youth and adults.

My professional journey has included working in Juvenile Justice facilities, crisis intervention centers, and collaborating with various mental health services across Oklahoma. These experiences have shaped my trauma-informed approach and strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience.I work with adults who may be dealing with anxiety, trauma, substance use, chronic health challenges, cultural or identity-related stress, family issues, grief, and relationship struggles. Some of my clients feel constantly on edge, stuck in survival mode, emotionally drained, or overwhelmed by stress that never seems to let up. Others may be coping with painful experiences, using substances to get through the day, carrying grief that feels heavy, or trying to manage the emotional toll of chronic conditions on their mood, energy, and relationships. I also support clients who are navigating questions around identity, cultural stress, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else.

I refer to myself as a person who holds people’s pain for a living, whatever that pain may be. I believe I am very good at what I do. I am a compassionate guide who navigates others on their path to the best they can possibly be.

Hello, I'm Theda. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health and addiction fields, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, and families in various clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, in-home, and group homes. My journey in mental health began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Agency Counseling from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I've been a therapist for 18 years and absolutely love working with my clients and community. I feel that everyone deserves the opportunity to process, evolve, and heal. I would love the opportunity to walk beside you as we navigate this journey together. I work with individuals, families, and offer EMDR services. Mostly focusing on trauma, Borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety, relationships, attachments, life changes, and existential exploration.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

It takes courage to reach out for help! Showing up that first time may be the hardest part of the journey. Being someone who has sat in that chair, I have a good idea how you are feeling. Being someone who has done her own personal work of therapy and helped hundreds of others with theirs, I also know how much better life can be! Emotional wounds can be heavy. Medication may help, but the feelings can make living feel like swimming with a shot put ball.

I strive to come alongside those struggling to provide support, education and encouragement. I have worked with clients from age 5 to 103, and what I have found to be most important is the connection (or the “fit.”) You need a therapist you can bring your authentic self to. You are hiring me to do a job, to help you think, feel, and behave better. I want that for you, even if it is not me, so never be afraid to interview a few therapists before deciding! After all, if it is me, I will be in your corner and I will challenge you, at the same time. You want to know you chose wisely for yourself.

Happy to meet you!

I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 11 years. I have shifted my focus from children to adults 19+ over the past 5 years and work primarily with individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I believe brain health is important and contributes greatly to overall satisfaction in life.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who works with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, identity concerns, and panic. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to handle what life is asking of them right now.

My practice is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Since beginning my career in 2017, I have worked in a variety of settings—including home visits and hospital crisis care—which has deepened my understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. I am committed to providing a safe, flexible, and compassionate environment where you can explore your goals and build resilience.
