Nadirah Burris
Hi my name is Nadirah, I have been a school counselor for the last 7 years and an LPC since 2016. Are you taking care of your mental health? Have you ever felt helpless, like nothing you do is fun anymore? What do you like to do? Do you have any goals or projects you are working towards? Sometimes we get so caught up in just surviving that we forget what it is to live and thrive. Why are we doing what it is, that we are doing and how do we step off of the treadmill long enough to enjoy the moment? Just thinking about it all makes you wonder about your short-term and long-term goals. As your counselor, I will work towards helping you answer some of these questions and build on creating realistic expectations. Counselors advocate for their clients to stay on track for finding goals and objectives that will result in positive outcomes. Take control of your life and lead yourself where you would like to be now and in the future.

I view my work as a therapist through a multicultural lens, and I customize my approach depending on the unique needs of every individual I work with. Many people have told me they’ve been frustrated by therapists in the past who sat quietly and provided very little feedback. In response, I’ve developed a forthright, solutions-oriented style of engaging with my clients that encourages them to set goals for themselves and empowers them to work toward them. I also have experience working with clients who prefer a softer, less structured approach, so I can customize the therapy experience to each person. I work well with people who want to channel negative experiences in a more positive direction. During my work in prison systems and in the military, I observed the many self-destructive behaviors that people use in an attempt to cope with difficult situations. I’ve helped people overcome a wide variety of addictive behaviors related to shopping, sex, substance abuse, eating disorders and more. I've also helped those who are experiencing the different stages of grief associated with loss. To change self-destructive behaviors, I believe that people must first change how they think. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), I leverage the innate connections between a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions to enact positive change. By encouraging my clients to question the truth of negative thoughts (such as “people are judging me” or “I’m such a failure”), I help them break out of painful patterns. I also help them focus on their strengths. Using positive psychology and motivational interviewing, I help my clients reframe their thoughts and view themselves in a more positive light. I encourage them to channel their anger, sadness, and other difficult emotions in a way that helps them overcome life’s challenges rather than becoming more deeply entrenched. I believe everyone has the strength to make positive changes. My goal is to help each person I work with cultivate the courage, resiliency, and potential that is already inside them.
Nick Livingston
Hi, my name is Nick and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 6 years of experience working with adults, teens, and children. My approach to therapy is centered around meeting clients where they are and collaborating with them to discover their strengths and find answers to their questions. I believe that therapy should be a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy Modalities: My focus in therapy is on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-centered treatment modalities. These evidence-based therapies have proven effective in helping clients change their thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to improve their overall well-being. For parents, I am trained in play therapy and Child Parent Relationship Therapy. Through these modalities, I teach parents how to connect with their child on a deeper level using play as a bridge. I have experience working with children with ADHD as well as other disorders. Medical Marijuana: I understand that medical marijuana and other medications can have a positive impact on a client's personal growth and positive change. As a non-judgmental counselor, I support clients who are exploring the use of medical marijuana and other medications in coordination with counseling and coping strategies. LGBTQ+ Mission: Oklahoma can be a difficult place, I want clients to know they have an ally in me. We will work to help you feel good about yourself and cope with the stress and anxiety of a hard world around you, Conclusion: Overall, I strive to create a comfortable and collaborative environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a non-judgmental therapist. If you're looking for an LPC in Oklahoma, I would love to work with you and help you find your own path to successful change.

When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Mannsville therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Mannsville licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Mannsville counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you.
