Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!
I focus on improving life satisfaction rather than just reducing symptoms, offering a compassionate ear, coping skills, relational techniques, and strategies for lifestyle changes. I provide counseling in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, working with teens aged 13 and older, adults, and couples. I can help with depression, anxiety, trauma, romantic and family relationships, parenting, and identity issues.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background that spans mental health, geriatrics, home health, intensive care, and long-term rehabilitation. My personality is open, honest, and direct—I believe transparency builds trust. With over a decade of hands-on nursing experience and recent advanced training in psychopharmacology and CBT, I bring both empathy and expertise to our work together. My clients can count on clear communication, collaborative care, and a deep commitment to helping them thrive.
I’m passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life challenges and transitions, identity, grief and loss, and relational challenges with compassion and practical support. I utilize evidence based treatment depending on your needs and treatment goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience in community mental health in Oklahoma, where I provided individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis intervention. I hold a BA in Psychology from Harding University and an MA in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College. Before returning to the U.S. in 2023, I lived abroad in France and North Africa for over seven years, an experience that deepened my understanding of culture, transition, and resilience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Oklahoma City, OK
Finding postpartum therapists in Oklahoma City starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, new parent support, and listed specialties that match what you want to address. The PMH-C credential, which stands for perinatal mental health certification, can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and postpartum.
Oklahoma City offers many therapy options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow the search. For new parents, practical fit matters too. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, and commute time across OKC can shape whether in-person or virtual appointments work better. Read therapist bios to understand each person’s approach, availability, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Oklahoma City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
