Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Oklahoma and Tennessee, and a Reiki Master. I graduated cum-laude from Mississippi College (CACREP accredited) with a Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2003, and I maintain a private practice in Oklahoma. I practice mental/behavioral health and energy healing, and I employ a variety of techniques and approaches, including Energy Psychology and Mindfulness. My skill preference and strength is in utilizing Mind-Body approaches. I previously worked treating predominantly Hispanic clients from children to adults in a medical center, and I have over a decade of experience working with adolescent and adult populations in drug rehabilitation settings, and outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment centers. In more recent years, I have worked primarily with adults and teens experiencing mild to moderate depression and anxiety, and also persons needing help navigating difficult life situations such as divorce/relationship changes, grief, or coping with health issues, such as post-partum, auto-immune disease, and chronic pain. I am a firm believer in alternative methods to healing, holistic approaches to treatment, and living an active and healthy lifestyle as the foundation to good physical, mental, and emotional health. I relocated to Oklahoma shortly thereafter shortly after graduating from my Masters program. I have lived in Mississippi, Tennessee, and a few other states, but was raised primarily on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I grew up immersed in Puerto-Rican culture, and became fluent in Spanish, and I was also raised speaking Portuguese and English at home, and spent summers visiting family in São Paulo, Brazil. I feel that my multi-cultural upbringing helps me in understanding clients from diverse backgrounds. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I'm also a certified Reiki Master, and an avid student of alternative healing methods. I balance my work helping others with raising three beautiful daughters, and caring for a Golden Retriever, a Hound-mix rescue, and two cats. I love learning alternative methods of healing, exploring other cultures, and small-scale gardening. I am also a supporter of clean and healthy living, animal rights, sustainability and preserving the environment. Energy Psychology Energy psychology is a form of treatment that emphasizes the mind-body connection, and focuses on wholeness and total well-being for the client. Several treatment methods may be used, usually involving a form of bio-feedback, relaxation techniques, and the administering of self-treatments stemming from ancient alternative healing therapies. Because energy psychology addresses the root causes of a patient's dis-ease through the body, it is possible to release deep, subconscious issues. Energy psychology is appropriate for all ages, and for most problems, and it is ideal in situations when previous treatments have failed and patients are feeling stuck. It is a gentle, interactive, and efficient way of treating multiple complaints. Research has shown the effectiveness of energy psychology approaches in treating trauma and stress compared to traditional psychotherapies. To learn more about energy psychology, including research and methods, please visit www.energypsych.org.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Obion area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Obion therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Obion due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Obion may not take health insurance, some in the state of Tennessee may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Tennessee you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Obion?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Obion therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Obion therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Obion therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in TN, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 38240 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Obion counselor?

Before seeing your Obion therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Obion therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

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 Obion 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 Obion counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

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. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Obion, Tennessee can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Obion has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. 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. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
