Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Oklahoma City, OK

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Derr and I am located here in OKC. Currently I offer ADHD testing services in office and telehealth therapy services. I have been a therapist for over 12 years and work best with neurodivergent adults, anxiety related disorders as well as depression/mood disorders.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Hola, me alegro estás aquí. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma who works with individuals and families navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use, and family-related challenges.

If life feels overwhelming, relationships feel strained, or past experiences are still affecting your present, you don’t have to carry that alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to better understand what’s going on and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help you feel safer, stronger, and more in control of your life moving forward.

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.

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.
