Do I need therapy?

Therapy can be beneficial for everyone, regardless of their mental health needs. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, substance abuse, or any other challenging life situations, therapy offers a valuable opportunity for healing and growth. Our therapists are here to engage in meaningful conversations with you, understanding the specific challenges you’re facing. Through therapy, you’ll gain self-reflection and emotional regulation skills, as well as a deeper understanding of what matters most to you. Our goal is to support you on your journey towards optimal well-being in all aspects of your life.

 

We were told our child/teen would benefit from Play Therapy. What is that? 

Play therapy is a specialized form of therapy for children and teenagers that utilizes play as a means of communication. It creates a safe environment where they can freely express themselves, explore their thoughts and emotions, and make sense of their experiences. Through play, children develop coping skills, enhance social and communication abilities, and build resilience. It promotes self-expression, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Play therapy empowers children to navigate challenges, fostering their growth, and well-being.

 

Are you currently taking clients? 

At our facility, the clinicians all do their own scheduling. They accept new clients when they have an opening that becomes available. We do have a waitlist available, but be aware that is not a first come first served list. The clinicians choose their clients based on who they think they can serve the best.

 

 

Do you accept my insurance? 

We serve multiple areas in the state with both in person and virtual sessions. We currently accept Soonercare and Managed Care insurance as well as most private insurance policies. Oklahoma Counseling Group does not deny anyone services due to inability to pay. We have a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. If you have any questions regarding insurance, please email hello@oklahomacounselinggroup.com or call our main office at 405-254-7746.

 

What’s with all the bison? 

At the heart of the Oklahoma Counseling Group lies a connection to the American Bison. As our state mammal of Oklahoma, these magnificent creatures are a natural choice for our logo. But their significance goes far beyond a mere emblem; it’s a powerful symbol that resonates deeply with our owner, our local communities, and our great state.

Matt Pierce, our founder, hails from Western Oklahoma, where he has cherished memories of visiting bison ranches and watching these majestic animals graze during family trips. His childhood was adorned with bison toys, nurturing a strong affinity for these creatures. To many Oklahomans, the bison represents the indomitable strength of our people, a symbol of resilience.

Nearly hunted to extinction, these remarkable beasts have, through the dedicated efforts of numerous organizations, seen their populations rise once more. This resurgence is not just a testament to the bison but to the spirit of Oklahoma itself – resilient, determined, and supportive.

At the Oklahoma Counseling Group, we’ve built our agency on these very principles of support and resilience. We aspire to stand with you, our community, and anyone seeking mental health services, offering the support and tools necessary to achieve your personal resurgence. Our goal is your growth, and together, we can help you overcome obstacles and embrace a brighter future.
