Christopher “Chris”
Licensed Professional Counselor – Candidate

Office Locations/Traveling Areas: Telehealth, Tulsa
Chris started his journey to become a counselor 8 years ago out of his own desire to learn about mental health. Having struggled with anxiety and depression since his teenage years, he wanted to give others the hope that he had received from his own counselors. “I want people like me to know that just because you’re struggling, that doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It may mean you’re just learning what parts of your life aren’t working for you, and recognizing you want to do something different!”
Exploring a variety of therapeutic approaches to mental wellness over the years, Chris finally graduated from University of the Cumberlands with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. During his final year in the program, he completed an internship with Improving Lives, and he returned the next year to continue working with and supporting our amazing clients.
“I’ve learned a lot through my years of study and through my own journey of mental health. I’ve studied techniques for calming chaotic emotions, unraveling difficult thoughts, reducing compulsive behaviors, managing challenging disorders, and repairing broken relationships. I’ve worked with kids as young as pre-K and with adults in their final years. And I would love to share what I’ve learned with you! But my main goal is to hear your story as best I can. If that’s all you need, then I’m happy to listen. And if you want more, I’m happy to work with you so we can find the tools and strategies that fit you best.”

Every person has an authentic need to be known and loved. Navigating past traumatic experiences while rising to meet the demands of life often leaves us emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, and living in “survival mode”. When feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, angry, or chronically unhappy is normal, it is time to make a change. Let’s work together to navigate new life phases while gaining support in relationships, boundaries, communication, and daily life issues.
I use an IFS, Client-centered, CBT and Solution-focused approach in my work with clients. I am trained in IFS, Making Sense of Your Worth, and TBRI.
Taking this step is a vulnerable and pivotal point in your life. It is an honor to guide you, help you along your purposeful path, and give you a safe place to work out problems and issues you face that seem too much. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in my sessions.Your healing journey will be customized to your unique needs.

Hi! I am John Ammons and practice counseling hope and recovery to those who may find themselves at roadblocks, hurdles, or even just speed bumps in life. Everyone takes a different path and sometimes may need a guide to aid in their journey. Working with clients who enjoy faith-based counseling is one passion of mine, although, I thrive off of challenges and will work with anyone who is willing to put in the effort to be better today than they were yesterday. Person-centered counseling and CBT are two very helpful theories of counseling and align with my way of thinking. Counseling with humility and making the client part of the therapeutic process is not only very acceptable but encouraged. Most importantly, effort is made to make the client feel heard, understood, and at ease with anything they are experiencing. Trauma is different for every person, and there is no problem too small. Together we heal.
Specialty areas of treatment are:
- Trauma
- Suicidality
- Self-harm
- Relationships
- Anxiety/depression
- Addictions
- Self-esteem
- Body dysmorphia

A little about me. After raising three amazing kids I went back to school to obtain my Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. I always loved helping people work through their problems and decided to make it my profession. In my spare time I enjoy mountaineering, hiking, doing triathlons, playing the piano, and reading. However, my absolute favorite thing to do is spend time with my family, including my two dogs, Lucky and Z! By the way, Z is a therapy dog who comes with me to see clients.

I’m the therapist you come to when you need to go deep, without being judged or criticized.
I have a Master of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary and a Master in Rehabilitation Counseling from Langston University. We will explore why you feel the way you feel and do the things you do? Expect tears. I welcome them. That’s part of the healing process. I really enjoy working with adults and also other therapists who just need to dump or process their own trauma. Occasionally, I work with teens but ONLY when parents agree to counseling themselves and understand I am not a fixer. We will work as a team.
I help clients navigate and work through life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships and loss. I am most interested in treating individuals who have experienced childhood trauma. I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, specializing in the treatment of trauma and I LOVE my job.
Growing up I always wanted to be a doctor so I could help people. That desire to help others has never left and it’s what I bring to each counseling session. Now, here’s my question to you. Do you want to get well? If the answer is yes, let’s begin!
Oh, one more thing. Yes, I used to be on the news. It’s interesting because it always bothered me when I had to interview people in tragic situations then have to move on to the next story. Now, I don’t have to do that. I get to connect with clients in their toughest moments and stay with them. It’s an honor.
