Valerie Keller Gates
I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor based in the Tulsa, OK area. My experience comes from providing direct mental health services to children, teenagers, and adults with a variety of presenting issues including anxiety, stress, autism, intellectual disability, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger. I approach the therapeutic relationship with a team approach and have deep respect for individual differences. Much of my clinical experience includes working with teens served on Individualized Education Plans (IEP) in Special Education in a public high school, and working with both teens, children and adults in a private practice setting. My experience is varied across these settings as I have provided individual and family therapy with children, teens, and adults in the community; have conducted research in both academic settings and inpatient treatment centers. Regardless of the setting, I believe that we all thrive and grow in an environment where we are heard and provided with compassion and respect. And, I proactively seek to apply this by providing a safe and respectful space to empower my clients to find their best life. My therapeutic approach draws influence from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy, Social Learning Theory, and Motivational Interviewing. My style is a team-based approach as I seek to work together with my client to select treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is specific to the individual. Regardless of whether your goals are as varied as a reduction in anxiety level is to increased social interaction, my priority is to join you and to walk beside you as you develop strength and resiliency on your journey to a more fulfilling future. Taking the first step in seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. So, congratulations on stepping out toward your goal of a brighter future. Thank you for reading my profile and when you are ready to take another step, I am here to support you in that process.

Laverna Soucie
I am a licensed professional therapist currently based in Texas. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a certificate in Trauma Therapy. My experience includes working with couples, families, college students, and children from age 8-teens. I provide premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy. I have worked with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, adoption issues, and adjustment disorders. My therapy style involves understanding the client from their point of view. I work from a holistic view, believing all systems of the body; physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, help in the healing process. I especially love emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy, but include other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems. I have been trained in EMDR and have found it can be utilized in many areas, but especially with trauma. Before becoming a therapist I worked as an RN for 20 years, graduating with my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Thirteen of those years were as a hospice nurse, so end of life care and grief counseling has been a big part of my life. I incorporate my medical background in the therapy process. I want to hear your story and look forward to working with you!
