Therapists in Miami, OK

Hello and welcome! My name is Sallie Trecek and I congratulate you for reaching out! My hope is to help you turn whatever barriers are in your path right now into building blocks. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma for over 20 years. I also have been a teacher and a school counselor in public schools. My background is varied which leads me to better understand my clients no matter their age or ethnic backgrounds. I have gained knowledge and experience in helping families overcome parenting hurtles and helping individuals get through challenging times in order to find and clarify their lives' paths. I have worked with people at all stages of their lives whether it be with their anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties or just "what do I want to do when I grow up"? We all have choices, whether as an individual or a group, yet sometimes feel like we're "stuck" and see no clear path or options. As your therapist, I am a sounding board to help you sort out the issues then find and clarify your options. I will walk beside you in this journey and help you through whatever challenges you are facing. I listen carefully to your concerns and help you explore ways to improve your life by creating what you want instead of what you have. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy and use a variety of techniques helping you on this journey. The most important one to me is showing you unconditional positive regard. It is my greatest hope that while working together you will be able to achieve a level of personal growth that you need to lead a happy and healthy life.

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.

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.

My job is never to judge, but direct and help you find the path that helps you become the best version of you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Hi, my name is Wendie Clemens. I’ll start out with giving you some information on my history and experience, then I’ll move on to explaining my approach to therapy. I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy and I’ve been a licensed therapist for 20 years; I’m licensed through the state of Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor and my license number is 3401. I’ve worked with several different populations, providing outpatient individual, family, and group therapy to adults, children, and adolescents; providing individual and family therapy to children and adolescents in the foster care system and their birth families, as well as providing supportive services to the foster families; and providing individual and group therapy for court-involved persons. I have experience working with clients who sought treatment for problems related to anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use, family conflict, difficult relationships, issues related to changes in life, and other severe and chronic mental health issues. Over the last few years, I’ve also had extensive experience providing services through virtual means such as iPad, computer, phone, etc. so this service platform is comfortable for me. For 15 years of my career as a licensed therapist, I worked in community mental health; the majority of my clients there not only struggled with severe, life-long mental health issues but also struggled with other issues such as isolation, poverty, lack of resources, and the stigma of living with a mental illness. Working in that setting could be extremely demanding but those years played a significant role in my growth as a therapist (and a person) and the experience of serving those clients, as well as having the honor of sharing their lives, was overall richly rewarding for me. In my view, the relationship that develops between a therapist and client is part of the healing process and I do my best to develop and maintain a positive, healthy relationship with clients. You’re the one looking for help, so I look to you to determine what we discuss in therapy sessions, what you’d like to accomplish in therapy, and how you’ll know you’ve finished therapy. My part is to help you sort things out so you can see problems more clearly, understand yourself better, and feel more comfortable in making decisions about your life. I’m also here to help you find and learn different tools you can use to accomplish that. With that being said, I also recognize there will be times I may need to give you a little push to discuss something you’ve been avoiding, to express thoughts or feelings that may be difficult for you, or even to revisit your past in order to work through issues that may still be affecting you. All of that requires trust and a willingness to be vulnerable on your part, which is why I tend to emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Even though I value our relationship, I’m also human and I realize that I may misinterpret something you say, misunderstand what you’re trying to communicate, or unintentionally offend you or hurt your feelings. I don’t plan on this happening, but if it does, please let me know!! (No need to worry about being too blunt or hurting my feelings – I need to know these things so your therapy is helpful and it will help me grow and be a better therapist.) Most things we’ll be able to work through and that will help me understand you better – it can also help you as misunderstandings and unintentional slights happen in all relationships and you can use bumps in our relationship as practice in working things out in the “real world.” Regarding the technical side of things, I use tools and techniques primarily from Cognitive-Behavioral based therapies, Person-Centered Therapy, and I incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I’ll also throw this out – if at any point in our work together you find that we’re just not relating, you’ve gone as far as you can with me, or I’m just not the right therapist for you, don’t hesitate to discuss this with me as it will be no problem for you to be matched with another therapist that may be a better fit for you. This is just a general introduction so you have some feel for who I am and how I approach therapy; there is more specific information about meetings, confidentiality, etc. contained in the Informed Consent in the member information from already provided by the platform.
