Family therapy and counseling in Oklahoma

I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with. I studied my undergrad at Cleveland State University and got my masters at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!

I specialize in therapy for the women everyone relies on who feel like if they stop, everything falls apart, helping them quiet anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and finally believe they are enough.

I believe in meeting people where they are at and building from there. We are all unique and empowering one to be their best is my goal.

Change is hard — especially when you’re carrying trauma, family stress, or just the weight of everything life throws at you. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.

With over 15 years of experience across private practice and intensive settings, I’ve spent much of my career helping people through some of their toughest moments.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Nationally Board-Certified Counselor, I hold a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, and a Doctoral Degree of Ministry. With a wealth of experience, I am committed to guiding you towards positive change. My mission is to equip individuals, couples, and families with the tools they need for success.

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.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or others, or unsure of how exactly to move forward. Others are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship challenges, or the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. You don't have to face these challenges alone.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide a safe, supportive space where individuals, couples, and families can heal, grow, and strengthen their relationships. With five years of experience and a passion for ongoing personal and professional growth, my goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and supported as you create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

My name is Amanda Rowell. I studied at Southwestern Oklahoma State University and became a Licensed Practitioner Counselor in 2015. I also recently became an LPC Supervisor to help other developing counselors on their way to licensure. My background work is mostly with child and adolescent inpatient settings. I have seen adults in inpatient settings as well. I became a Trust Based Relational Intervention Practitioner in December of 2023 and will continue to use TBRI techniques.
