When addressing anxiety, depression, and anger management in your portfolio, it's important to communicate both a deep understanding of these issues and a compassionate approach to helping clients manage and overcome them. Here’s how you could describe your services for each: Anxiety In today's world, anxiety can feel like a constant companion. In my therapy sessions, I aim to offer a safe and calming environment where you can learn to understand and manage your anxiety. We'll explore the roots of your anxiety, identify triggers, and employ techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you develop healthier thought patterns and relaxation skills. My goal is to empower you with the tools to regain control over your anxiety, enhancing your overall quality of life.

Hello! My name is Kim Quintero and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma. I have over 30 years of experience working with children, teens, families, and individuals dealing with a variety of issues ranging from parenting, domestic violence, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and behavioral problems. I have worked in outpatient mental health centers, university student counseling center, as well as in public schools as an elementary school counselor. I believe in establishing a warm, supportive, and interactive relationship with my clients. My therapeutic approach is mostly Cognitive Behavioral and for many problem areas, I highly encourage practice between sessions as this is how we all improve in areas we want to get better at. I believe that the solutions are within YOU and my job is to help you discover them. I will guide you to the best of my ability. Personally, I have been married for 35 years. I have been blessed with 3 wonderful children and 1 beautiful granddaughter that I adore! I absolutely love the lake (oceans too), so in my free time, that's where you'll find me if I have the chance! I applaud the steps you are taking right now. That's the first step to the new YOU! I look forward to getting to know you, and the journey we will take together!

Imagine going to an amusement park and seeing all the joy and happiness around you but not being able to enjoy it yourself. You can smell the tantalizing smells and hear the contagious laughter. You long for the freedom to interact with those around you or at least be able to smile and mean it, yet there's something blocking that freedom. What is it? Is it depression? Is it severe anxiety? Is it overwhelming grief? Is it guilt and shame that hangs on you like an old worn out coat? Is it consuming fear that won't allow you to step into who you truly are and keeps you bound behind a frail representation of You. What can you do when your perception is woven with lies, fear, brokenness and pain? Is there a way to break free of your pain, fear, and beliefs that you are nothing more than your behaviors or nothing more than your brokenness? ABSOLUTELY! You have so much to offer and so much to give! It may be underneath some depression, or some anxiety, or some guilt and shame, or possibly some fear but I believe there is HOPE and there is FREEDOM for you! Some of us have went through tremendous pain, some have experienced immense trauma, and some just have feelings that seem to be uncontrollable and we may not even know why. I believe we are in this together and finding someone that we can open up to and relate to can be an incredible healing experience for both people. I use a faith based approach with those that are open to that form of therapy. If you prefer a different modality then I use cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach to counseling. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and beginning a counseling relationship where we can both grow and learn from each other.
