Family therapy and counseling in Oklahoma

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.

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.

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'm Byron. I've been working in the mental health field for over 15 years. A close family member's struggle with mental illness first pulled me into this work, and I've spent years since helping men, families, and kids untangle anger, identity, ADHD, and trauma. My style is plain-spoken: I reflect your own thinking back to you with until things click. I see children through seniors.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. In therapy, I believe you deserve to feel heard and valued as you work toward your goals. I aim to maintain a safe, collaborative space where you're free to express yourself fully, explore the difficulties you've been carrying, and grow in ways guided by your values and strengths.

I am trained in and provide Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Filial Therapy, and I’m a Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.
