Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Broken Arrow, OK

I believe therapy allows you to choose your path and heal from the past. I believe there are four things that play a part in life: your environment, emotions, thoughts, and actions. You will build skills to recognize and employ strategies to support yourself as you experience distressing thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Your therapy will be tailored to you, and my goal is to help you change the way you want to change. All people are welcome in my space.

I have been a licensed therapist and have worked in the field for the last 5yrs.I am passionate about creating space for individual to experience healing.I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Health therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

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.

My name is Lari Smith, and I’ve spent nearly 15 years helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold multiple graduate‐level degrees, including a Master of Science in Human Resources (2006), a Master’s Certificate in Addiction Counseling (2016), and a Master of Science in Psychological Services (2017). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and am currently under supervision for my LADC.

Before entering private practice, I worked for the Department of Human Services and later served as a school counselor in rural K–8 schools. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting children, families, and individuals facing complex or overwhelming life circumstances. Today, I work with clients of all ages and have a special appreciation for both children and older adults.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, but I frequently draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have experience treating a wide range of concerns, including adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, child sexual abuse, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other mental health challenges. I also bring personal insight into chronic pain after experiencing a serious car accident in 2017 that resulted in multiple broken bones.

I currently practice in a rural Oklahoma community and am accepting new clients. I offer virtual sessions and accept insurance, with a full list available through Headway.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’ve been married for 28 years and have three adult children. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my four‐month‐old granddaughter—and I love baking.

If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation. I’d be honored to support you on your journey—reach out today and let’s get started.

I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who works with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, identity concerns, and panic. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to handle what life is asking of them right now.

My practice is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Since beginning my career in 2017, I have worked in a variety of settings—including home visits and hospital crisis care—which has deepened my understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. I am committed to providing a safe, flexible, and compassionate environment where you can explore your goals and build resilience.

I have been a LCSW for over 20 years and I have spent my career working as a psychotherapist and medical social worker. I love working clients who are struggling with mood disorders, work and famiily issues, and those with chronic health conditions.
