LGBT therapists in Norman, OK

After four decades of psychiatric nursing, I transitioned to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I am passionate about providing mental health counseling to help people live their best lives. My experience encompasses working with a diverse range of patients facing both acute and chronic mental and behavioral health conditions. In my spare time, I enjoy various fiber arts, and spending time outdoors playing in the dirt. I am married to an amazing man who retired after a long career as a psychiatric social worker. Together, we have seven children and nine absolutely incredible grandchildren.

Think of me as your emotional co-pilot, helping you navigate whatever twists and turns life throws your way! I can help with a multitude of things: anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions and even general overwhelm (It's a thing!)

I am here to help you see things from different perspectives, challenge you, hold space for you and make you feel supported every step of the way. You deserve to feel like you can take up space and like you belong.

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.

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.

As a seasoned therapist of 20 years, my experience has allowed me to work in various facets of mental health, including home-based therapy, residential care, school, inpatient and an outpatient clinic setting. I have treated all ages, from little ones to geriatric adults. For over the past decade, my treatment focus has been working with marginalized communities dealing with significant trauma and chronic health issues. I believe there is no problem that is too big or too insignificant, that therapy can’t help.

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'm Mary, and I've spent 16 years doing this work — across crisis centers, inpatient units, community mental health, and private practice. What's kept me here isn't the credentials. It's what I've seen: that people who've been through the hardest things are often the most resilient, when someone finally helps them find the right tools. I specialize in trauma and substance use because these two things are rarely separate. I hold a master's degree in both clinical mental health and addiction counseling, and I bring that dual lens to every session. I'm LGBTQIA+-affirming, work with ages 6 through seniors, and offer telehealth throughout Oklahoma so location is never a barrier.

I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in trauma-informed care. I support individuals in building self-determination and addressing maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.

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.
