I’ve been working with kids and their families for almost 21yrs.

I consider it an honor and privilege to become part of your solution and support for your entire family unit.

I started my career with a long but rewarding tenure at OKDHS for almost 10yrs. Over that time I was able to work with families all over the state in multiple roles, while learning so much about different cultures and families traditions.

I credit those years and my great classes at SNU for preparing me to work with children and their families while steering me towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist. Utilizing a Family Systems Theory, I use play to help connect with your child and meet them at their natural way to communicate.

Helping them to understand their world and the way that it affects them is powerful and rewarding for us all.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor licensed through the State of Oklahoma and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor from the Association for Play Therapy (APT.)

While being a member of APT, this allows me to be able to work with new therapists coming into the field to help them to succeed in working with their preferred population.

My goal in therapy is to provide you with a safe place to address what is important to you. While working with you and your children we will focus on your entire family unit while addressing each persons’ individual needs.

As a team we will work together to identify your family goals as well as the best course of action to work towards achieving them.

“Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness.” Brene Brown. Being able to walk the journey with you as we navigate what brings you to therapy is one of my greatest passions.

Working with those who have experienced trauma, struggling with self-worth, depression and anxiety. There is hope, and you are already brave in looking for a therapist. I would enjoy getting the chance to talk with you.

While creating a safe space for you, I will walk the road with you as we explore your past and/or current trauma. I will provide space for you without judgement, while you share the areas in which you struggle. I have worked with clients who have dealt with depression, anxiety and self-worth during my time as a therapist.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and to have the opportunity to walk your journey with you.

“My approach to counseling focuses on forming a genuine relationship with clients built on trust, non-judgement, and most of all, care. My goal is to provide supportive and collaborative services with you, your family, and/or your children in order to achieve your goals therapeutically.”

A little more about me,

“I was born and raised in Mobile, AL where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of South Alabama. My internship during graduate school sparked a passion in my heart to work with children who have experienced trauma and are looking for healing. During my internship, I was fortunate to receive in-depth training in Trauma Focused-CBT. After receiving my Master’s in Counseling, I worked with at-risk youth for a year and half in schools and the juvenile detention center for substance use, traumas, and family issues. Recently my wife and I moved here to Oklahoma on a new journey and I am excited to meet you in your life’s journey!”

My story:

I love kids.

I love people.

Helping is a part of who I am. To share, to care.

To guide you, your children, and your family.

I have been working with children and their families for multiple years.

Based on my own experiences I became passionate about being with parents in their pain, in their promise, and most importantly in their potential.  Becoming a mentor of young mothers with young children, I began to understand the needs of all parents more fully. I have worked with the courts to assist single parents, foster, and adoptive families.

My first college classes were Early Childhood Education Studies. I continued with a

Bachelor of Science degree in Family Studies followed by a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology. I am continually adding skills to assist parents and children where they are. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor licensed through the State of Oklahoma and have been working with families and individuals of all ages for over 12 years.

I am an Infant Mental Health Specialist, trained to work with children aged 0-5 having completed the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0–5™). Assisting parents through the Parental Hands-On Education and Training series, the Circle of Security-Parenting Training (COS-P), and Parent Child Intervention Therapy, (PCIT) is a completion of a circle.

When life has added difficulties, I am trained in the highly effective Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). I have completed specialized training in Children of Divorce, Deportation, and Deployment. As well as having trained in assisting with Childhood Grief and Adult Grief. 

I love kids- babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.

I love people- individuals, families, and couples.

I would love to be a part of your story.

Hello! My name is Kevin. I have been married for almost 13 years with a foster son and three biological children. I graduated from Southern Nazarene University with a bachelor’s in Kinesiology. My master’s was obtained from the University of Oklahoma. I have a passion for psychology and will work with all ages. I have had the most experience with adolescents ages 12-18.

My interests include reading, exercising, playing video games, board games, watching my latest shows, music, and learning something new, whether it’s a fun fact or something random that may seem useless to some. Still, I would like to think I haven’t found a proper place for its use yet. I am a people person who also enjoys my own space.

Madison grew up in Weatherford, Oklahoma and pursued her Bachelor’s in Family Life Education – Marriage & Family at the University of Central Oklahoma. She went on to receive her Masters of Education in Applied Behavioral Studies at Oklahoma City University in 2022.

Madison works primarily with pre-adolescents, adolescents, and young adults. She has some experience working with families. Areas that spark her passion are trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem.

“I prefer to meet people where they are currently at, I like to take a person centered and integrative approach with each client. I believe in pulling from different theories to create a customized treatment that will best help them reach their goals based off their personality and willingness to evolve and grow. I do lean more towards a Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral, and Dialectical Behavioral approach.

I believe the therapeutic relationships is a sacred one and the primary foundation that determines the potential trajectory of their life. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to disclose your high and low points you are facing and to work through past and present traumas. It is a great honor and privilege to walk alongside with you on your journey and to see how you evolve over time. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your journey and story.

I graduated from SWOSU in 2021 with my bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Child Development. Upon graduation, I went straight into SWOSU’s master’s program to pursue a degree in Community Counseling with the goal of becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. I plan to graduate in May of 2023 and will complete my course work by the end of 2023.

I knew I wanted to be counselor from a young age, specifically when I started my own journey in counseling at age 14. I was able to see the difference that my counselor made in my life, and now I want to help others with their mental health and hopefully be able to have the same impact on some of their lives as my own counselor had on mine. I would like to help people who are struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as individuals wanting to learn to set and manage boundaries in any area of their lives.

Throughout middle and high school, I saw countless of my peers, myself included, struggling to cope in a variety of situations and experiences. Perhaps the most common and prominent concern was in the overall feelings of self-worth in young girls. Because of this, I would like to help young women and girls build themselves and their self-images up and work to maintain it throughout their lifetimes.

It is never too early to begin your counseling journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education and acquiring more knowledge through my practicum and internship hours as well as finding and developing my own approach to counseling. I am so excited that I get to be a part of Oklahoma Counseling Group, not only to better prepare myself in my career, but so I can better aid those in and around my community the same way I was.

Hi Friends!

My name is Chase Carpenter and I’m a counseling candidate here at OCG. I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling Psychology in 2021 from Southern Nazarene University. I believe in the transformative power of storytelling and human connection. Through both individual counseling and innovative tabletop RPG group therapy sessions, I help clients rewrite their narratives of struggle into stories of strength.

My therapeutic approach combines traditional counseling with the unique healing potential of collaborative storytelling. In individual sessions, we work together to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. In my RPG therapy groups, clients build confidence, process emotions, and develop real-world skills through structured, imaginative play.

Whether you’re seeking individual support or interested in joining our therapeutic gaming community, I provide a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll craft new narratives of hope, resilience, and possibility.

Stetson is looking to gain exposure to multiple types of demographics and populations for an enriching counseling internship. Some areas of interest include: depression, anxiety, PTSD and C-PTSD, existential conflicts, death and dying, family systems, and learning challenges. Stetson places an emphasis on a person-centered approach to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

Areas of treatment he would like to explore are Cognitive Behavior Therapies, Feminist Theories including socioeconomic structures, goal setting, Motivational Interviewing, career mapping, family tree exercises, and journaling.

Stetson is here to say that we all have the power to intimately understand these vulnerable areas and grow into the best version of ourselves.

Stetson is originally from California and moved to a small town in Northwest Oklahoma when he was 12.

Post graduation he plans to get licensed and offer therapeutic services in a part-time capacity.

While away from school and work, Stetson likes to spend his free time traveling to new areas, learn about cooking cuisines from a variety of cultures, and keeping up with his favorite TV series including lots of law dramas. He is a life-long learner when it comes to taking on new courses and has many curiosities to new ideas or ways of living that are foreign to him. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
