In Oklahoma, Candidate for Licensure means that I have completed all my education and have passed all the testing required by the Board of Behavioral Health. I describe this similar to a resident in the medical field. All licensed professional therapists in the state of Oklahoma are required to gain 3000 hours of supervised experience before they are able to be considered licensed. I currently meet weekly with a licensed and Board approved supervisor to review my caseload.

As a candidate for licensure, I can file with BCBS & Aetna Commercial Insurance utilizing Supervisory Billing. My cash pay rate is $125 per session. I have some reserved spots for sliding scale fees for clients who may need it due to financial hardship.

However, our graduate interns are happy to match your insurance copay, so your out-of-pocket cost remains the same as if you were using your insurance.

My sessions are tailored to what the client needs, so we might have an interactive session with a family client who needs to work on communication. While a client who needs someone to listen will have a different and more laid-back feel. Some clients may need movement, so we may take a stroll and talk, or a teen client might want to play a card game. I strive to meet clients where they are and be in tune with ways to help facilitate the therapeutic process.

I have always believed that therapy is a good thing for all people in general. I see the intrinsic value of therapy and how it can facilitate growth and healing. Also, I believe that human beings are deterministic and although not all behaviors are problematic, we are capable of changing things in our lives, rather than simply having outside forces act upon us. These beliefs made me want to be a therapist, to help people find ways to grow and be more resilient in ways that they value.
