Mercedes Crayton

Hi, my name is Mercedes, I am a warm, uplifting, dedicated therapist, with years of experience working in both in-patient and outpatient settings. I believe in empowering individuals to drive the change they desire in their lives. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln in psychology with a minor in CYFS and Education. Afterwards completing my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. I have experience working with adolescents to adults ranging from substance use, anxiety, depression, mood disorders etc. I consider myself to be patient while also displaying a willingness to challenge others to engage in the change behaviors they desire to achieve.

I utilize an eclectic approach in therapy, pulling from several different areas depending on the individual. I will engage in Brief Solution Focused, CBT, and person Centered are the most common approaches utilized.

Clients can expect to be challenged but understood, encouraged, and supported. They can expect to encouragement on their journey, as treatment is tailored to the individuals identified goals.
