Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Norman, OK

Hello, my name Emillia Hacker and I have over 10 years of experience in acute crisis intervention, inpatient, and intensive outpatient treatment settings. I am a graduate of Southern Nazarene University with a bachelor's in Family Studies and Gerontology and a master's in counseling psychology. I have a wide breath of experience and specialize in the treatment of symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, self-harm, chronic suicidal ideations, and substance abuse. I am effective with personality disorders and childhood trauma. I have worked extensively with military and first responders, and their families and I am a STAR trained military provider. I have also worked with First Americans across the state of Oklahoma and carry specialized training in working with addictions and families who have experienced generational trauma.

I have been a LCSW for over 20 years and I have spent my career working as a psychotherapist and medical social worker. I love working clients who are struggling with mood disorders, work and famiily issues, and those with chronic health conditions.

I believe therapy works best when we’re actively working together toward meaningful change. Growth can feel uncomfortable at times, but with practice, new ways of thinking and relating become more natural and empowering. My approach is collaborative, genuine, and grounded in respect. My primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral and Attachment Based, but I tailor therapy to each person’s needs, drawing from a variety of methods to help you build insight, confidence, and resilience. I value a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged.

I enjoy working with individuals of various lifestyles and feel my ability to remain accepting, respectful, and genuine are my personal strengths. I am also honored as an advisor to the 5th Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which is the foremost diagnostic tool utilized by all mental health professionals around the world.

If you’re ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

(I am also credentialed with United Healthcare/Optum and others. Please message me about billing. Thank you!)

Credentials and Experience

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and Colorado, a board-certified counselor (NCC), and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision - which means I don't just practice therapy, I train and supervise other therapists. That clinical depth shapes everything about how I work with clients.

My specialization is neurocounseling: integrating what we know about the brain and nervous system into practical, grounded therapy. I also hold specialized training in telehealth - so working with you virtually isn't a workaround, it's where I do my best work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for too long.

I help young adults, adults, and athletes work through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, attachment and relationship challenges, and confidence or performance struggles so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change.

I love working with clients to help make improvements in their lives. I hold a safe space for clients to talk about difficult issues. The turnaround for clients from the first day to completion of therapy is inspiring.

You've been looking for a therapist who will get it. Who won't need you to explain, defend, or translate. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or the particular weight of figuring out who you are in a world that doesn't always make that easy, you deserve a space where all of you is welcome. I'm an LCSW with 8 years in mental health and a proud member and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity, and the everyday experience of just being your full self. My goal is to help you build toward where you actually want to be, at a pace that works for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to providing compassionate, practical, and evidence-based care for individuals, couples, and families. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where I received training that equips me to address both the personal and relational challenges people face while helping clients discover greater purpose, hope, and direction.

I enjoy working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the everyday stressors that can leave life feeling overwhelming. I have a particular passion for helping clients strengthen communication, navigate conflict, build healthier relationships, and develop practical coping skills that lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel difficult, and I'm glad you've taken the time to explore your options. I believe it is no coincidence that you've found your way here. My goal is to meet you where you are and work alongside you as you pursue healing, growth, and lasting change.

You may be the person everyone turns to, the one who keeps going no matter what, but inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, questioning your choices, repeating the same relationship patterns, or wondering why certain emotions keep resurfacing. I work with adults who are ready to slow down, understand themselves more deeply, and create a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University and have a strong psychodynamic foundation that guides my work. I support clients navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My goal is to offer a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported as we make sense of your story together.

Finding the right therapist matters. You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and talk honestly about what's weighing on you without feeling judged or rushed.

For more than 14 years, I've had the privilege of helping children, adolescents, and adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and overwhelming stress. My goal is to create a warm, supportive relationship where healing can happen and meaningful change feels possible.

I have been a licensed therapist and have worked in the field for the last 5yrs.I am passionate about creating space for individual to experience healing.I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Health therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and build a life worth celebrating.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families understand and resolve current challenges by exploring the long-standing patterns and perceptions that may be holding you back.

By integrating complementary therapy techniques, I provide a supportive space to work through difficult situations and move toward a more fulfilling future."
