Couples therapists in Tulsa, OK

I believe everyone has a story to tell and the power to write their own future. I have over ten years experience in the mental health field and have been a licensed therapist for five years. I work with all age groups and like to meet individuals where they are and walk with them through their journey to better mental health.

I am a passionate therapist who strives to empower my clients

I utilize an eclectic therapeutic style that allows me to meet the client where they are to help them accomplish their goals

Being a therapist is more than a job to me. It is a calling

Over the years, I have worked with diverse populations, including individuals recovering from acute trauma, childhood adversity, and postpartum mental health. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with compassionate, person-centered care, recognizing that every individual’s experience is unique. By tailoring interventions to each client’s needs, I create a safe and supportive environment where healing can unfold. As a licensed clinical social worker, I am deeply committed to helping individuals reclaim their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Specializing in trauma-informed care, I bring expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to empower my clients on their healing journey.

It seems like life should be better than this - I have heard some version of this sentence from every client, couple, or family for more than two decades of counseling. They believe that life and relationships should function better and are trying to figure out how. The clients I have seen are struggling with relational dysfunction, anxiety, depression, grief, or the residue of trauma. Many of them feel lonely, confused, and hopeless about one or several issues within their story. Many of the stories are very hard and painful. Understandably, they all want to find a better way to live their lives and change the story.

I have studied far beyond the minimum so that I can genuinely help people create transformation in their lives and relationships. I don't just help them feel better today, but I give them systems that can work for a lifetime. Life can be better, as hundreds of former clients can confirm. I help people design a transformed life.

I recognize that for many, fundamental transformation feels inaccessible and unrealistic. Many of the clients that I have helped in the past thought the same thing. They now have a new story to tell themselves and others. Let's design your life transformation together.

I’m Cat (she/her), a therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, burnout, and life transitions. Many of my clients are cycle-breakers, helpers, deep feelers, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are used to carrying a lot for others while struggling to care for themselves. I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, affirming, collaborative, and free from judgment — a place where you do not have to mask, minimize your experiences, or have everything figured out before showing up.

My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in family systems, attachment, and nervous system regulation. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), while tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, relationships, and lived experiences. I also have experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, polyamory and nontraditional relationship dynamics, serious mental health concerns, and trauma-related challenges.

My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and empowered while building meaningful and lasting change in their daily lives and relationships.

I have degrees in nursing, public affairs and environmental management, and social work. It is an interesting combination because I have more lenses than just one to view a client's issues. For example, I can understand the health conditions from a medical perspective, any toxicology issues from the environmental perspective such as workplace exposure to volatile organic compounds, and the social work perspective of mental health, social functioning, and community resources. I have worked with depression, adults molested as children, porn addiction, adoption issues, anxiety, life transitions, grief, PTSD, and more. I have done psychotherapy as a licensed clinician since 2002. Prior to that I had experience in mental health as a nurse.

Hello, I'm Theda. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health and addiction fields, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, and families in various clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, in-home, and group homes. My journey in mental health began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Agency Counseling from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I’m a person-centered therapist who believes therapy is about helping you come back to yourself. I aim to create a space that’s warm, honest, and affirming, where you don’t have to shrink or overexplain who you are. My experience lies mainly in supporting folks who may be navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, pre- and postpartum mental health. We’ll work together in a way that feels practical and empowering. With a deep commitment to meeting people where they are, I would love to support you while you take a step toward enhancing your health and wellness.
