Family therapy and counseling in Tulsa, 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’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.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

I help people move from simply coping to genuinely thriving. I hold a Master's in Human Relations with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma, along with advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My background spans neurological rehabilitation, residential behavioral health, crisis intervention, and telehealth — and my experience outside of clinical work gives me a grounded, practical understanding of stress, leadership dynamics, and personal growth. I work with adults and youth ages 8 and older, and I'm currently accepting new clients.

If you've been carrying something heavy — past trauma, anxiety that won't quiet down, or the sense that old experiences are still quietly running your life — you're in the right place. I specialize in helping adults get to the root of what's holding them back, using EMDR and trauma-informed approaches to identify the beliefs that drive our behaviors without us even realizing it.

I've been doing this work since 2018, and one thing I've come to believe deeply: the goal isn't happiness — it's balance, and a more realistic relationship with yourself and your life. Everyone has mental health. You deserve the tools to have real agency over yours.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor who utilizes evidence-based modalities, but also keeps you at the center of our treatment focus. We are all having a human experience and I would be honored to walk along side you to decrease issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and family disruptions that keep you from living life to your fullest potential!

I offer telehealth services, making therapy more accessible and easier for clients.
