I love working with kids but also work with adults. I am also an ADSAC assessor. I love animals and have two dogs who are the biggest part of my life right now other than my husband.

My approach is dedicated to supporting your journey towards recovery by helping you reclaim your personal power.

I understand that trauma can deeply affect your mental and emotional well-being, and if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-acceptance, self-validation, self-love, or a sense of unfulfillment, I am here to assist you. I believe that everyone deserving of a better life can achieve it by embracing a new perspective and working actively towards positive change.

Chris

Licensed Professional Counselor – Candidate

Insurances I accept: Aetna, Cigna, Medicaid
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.”

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

Hello! My name is Julie Dunbar, and I’m honored you are considering me as your therapist and a part of your healing journey of growth and self-discovery. I believe in the innate goodness of each person no matter what they’ve done, how they’ve been labeled, or what obstacles they face. I feel passionate about empowering people to break through their barriers to find a deep sense of inner confidence, peace, joy, strength, and freedom so they can overcome any challenge and accomplish their personal and professional goals.

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. He is a gentle soul who seems to have a special knack for knowing when people need a little extra TLC.

Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, or simply feel stuck in life, I have developed tools to help individuals, couples, and families find a sense of hope and purpose and reach their goals. These tools are founded in the “strengths-based” model, are client centered, and cover a variety of therapeutic disciplines such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

Again, thank you for considering me as your therapist, and I look forward to meeting you!

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: My name is Kirsten Dirato-Martin; and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma. For over 15 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who are struggling with a wide variety of issues. Some of these issues include: anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, family and relationship issues, domestic violence, grief, trauma, occupational concerns, stress/anger management, women’s issues (including perinatal and postnatal care),and addiction. I have worked in a variety of mental healthcare settings including: clinical, inpatient, intensive outpatient, residential, community based, school based, private practice, and telehealth. My specialized training includes trauma-based and trauma-informed therapy; crisis intervention; obsessive-compulsive disorder; sensory processing disorders; and substance use disorders.

PHILOSOPHY OF CARE: My counseling approach is holistic and client-centered. Together, we will predominately utilize cognitive-behavioral, strengths based, and solution-focused techniques to empower you to be your best self. Each client is unique; and I will always work directly with you to tailor your care to meet your individual needs. There are lots of “tools” in my toolbox; and I am well trained in a wide variety of treatment methods. I believe that a therapist must be open to utilizing different techniques with different clients; and, for me, listening to what works for my clients is a key component of good patient care. Seeking counseling is a sign of strength and resilience. I am here to listen, guide, and support you in an accepting, compassionate, and trusting process; a process focused on helping you achieve your goals.

PERSONAL: When Im not at work, I can be found spending time with my husband and/or our 4 grown children. We have 1 grandson and 5 grand dogs. I am also a proud mom to 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy yoga, a cozy night in watching a great movie, curling up with a good book, and hiking on a beautiful day.

Leonard is a graduate of GCU with a masters of science in professional counseling and is a licensure candidate. He obtained his undergraduate degree in liberal arts with an emphasis in health care and religious studies from Excelsior College in New York. He loves to work with children and families. Helping them in the resolution of conflicts, adjustment and achievement of personal and collective goals has become an enduring passion and career focus. His skill set for this work has been developed over a span of 20 years in the career roles of clergy, licensed nurse and clinical chaplain. In such roles he has gained experience helping individuals and families facing troubles with trauma, grief, disability, theological belief systems, substance abuse, and gender adjustment. He refines this experience in his current matriculation toward the degree and role of professional counselor. Although he finds useful value in the vice and virtues of a number of theoretical orientations, choice theory and its applications have been found most intriguing and congruent with his worldview. Nonetheless, what works best for the client, patient or parishioner is what becomes the tool of choice in his work. Outside of work Leonard loves to occupy his time with horses, motorcycles, tactical sports, numismatics, antique collections, family, community volunteering and faith based activities. Language and cultural studies are also among the things he engages in for fun and personal enrichment away from work.

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.
