Kerri Wenner

Woodward, Oklahoma - Clinical Social Worker
Online

Welcome to a Journey of Transformation Hello! I’m Kerri, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP), dedicated to fostering healing and personal growth. With over a decade of experience, I have honed my clinical skills to not just meet, but exceed the therapeutic goals of those I work with. My Approach I believe in meeting you right where you are in your journey. Each session is tailored to integrate your personal strengths with the most effective strategies available. My training in both the Gottman Method and trauma-based therapy enriches my ability to address diverse relationship dynamics and deep-seated emotional challenges. Specializations Couples Therapy: Utilizing the Gottman Method, I help couples rebuild healthy relationships grounded in mutual respect and understanding. Trauma Therapy: I apply trauma-informed techniques to help individuals navigate and heal from their past experiences, fostering resilience and empowerment. Holistic Wellness: As a CIMHP, I integrate aspects of physical and mental wellness to enhance your overall well-being. When addressing anxiety, depression, and anger management in your portfolio, it's important to communicate both a deep understanding of these issues and a compassionate approach to helping clients manage and overcome them. Here’s how you could describe your services for each: Anxiety In today's world, anxiety can feel like a constant companion. In my therapy sessions, I aim to offer a safe and calming environment where you can learn to understand and manage your anxiety. We'll explore the roots of your anxiety, identify triggers, and employ techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you develop healthier thought patterns and relaxation skills. My goal is to empower you with the tools to regain control over your anxiety, enhancing your overall quality of life. Depression Depression can dim the joy of living, making even everyday tasks feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I provide a supportive space to talk openly about your feelings and challenges. We'll work together to uncover the underlying causes of your depression and address them using a blend of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrative methods that consider your overall wellness. By building on your strengths and fostering resilience, our sessions will help you rediscover hope and work towards a more fulfilling life. Anger Management Anger, though a natural emotion, can disrupt your life and relationships if not managed properly. In our sessions, we focus on understanding the sources of your anger and learning to express it in healthy ways. Using evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and mindfulness techniques, you will learn to recognize triggers, control your responses, and communicate your feelings more effectively. My approach is centered on helping you transform anger into a constructive force that advocates for your needs without causing harm or regret. Therapeutic Techniques My practice is rooted in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These methodologies are proven to facilitate positive change and are adapted to fit your unique needs and lifestyle. Your Partner in Healing I am committed to being a supportive and genuine partner in your therapeutic journey. Together, we will explore avenues for growth and healing, aiming for the quality of life you aspire to achieve.

Scotty Hixson

Woodward, Oklahoma - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Hello I'm Scotty, a 42 year old white male in the Southwestern part of America. I'm a father of 3 boys, a friend to many dogs, and I've been married for 19 great years so far. I love movies, music, art, podcasts, video games, disc golf and whatever im currently dorking out on. How my brain works & my views of therapy: ***Therapy is scary and embarrassing and certainly uncomfortable for a lot of people. We’ve been told only “the crazies” go to therapy or it's for “weak” people. Realistic therapy is identifying and unlearning destructive beliefs/patterns while building coping skills and emotional intelligence to take control of your life. Its like going to the gym. At first you feel like you’ve made the wrong choice, it’s hard, you don’t know if you’re doing it right and want to give up. But you keep trying and then you realize that things are improving and getting easier to manage. ***Therapy is about feeling comfortable and honest. I want you to be comfortable and not feel like you have to act any certain way. The more “you” you can be, the more you will be able to address underlying issues successfully. You can curse, yell, cry, have a smoke, pet your animals (my dogs are gonna make a guest appearance), talk about how you don’t like your mother/kids, or what you really want to say to your jerk boss. Ultimately, therapy should be a place to be uncensored without fear of judgment/embarrassment/retaliation/telling others. I have more “undignified” moments in my life than I can remember so I am not about to judge you. I don’t believe in making you feel worse about what happened in your life. My job is helping you take those situations and repurpose them for motivation to do better, make peace with yourself and stop it from continuing to wreck your life. I believe in using humor when possible and not being uptight at all. I prefer to be honest with you and not beat around the bush. Dealing with heavy emotional and behavioral issues isn't about an always positive attitude. It's about recognizing what changes you need in life and working on realistic ways to address them. At the same time, you need support and someone who will not judge you. Someone to be in your corner during what is most likely one of the harder decisions in your life. * Learn to think rationally, flexibly and be open to change. Most of life is about having a healthy balance. Start asking if ____ is productive or destructive instead of right/wrong or fair/unfair. Realize everything is contradicting, complicated and ever-changing. If you start to think in these ways you will improve your overall happiness, daily stress, self esteem and relationships. * I believe in client centered therapy where you are in control of what you work on in treatment. Nothing is set in stone and we can make changes as needed. We will take small, realistic steps towards your goals at a speed you are comfortable with. I will obviously encourage you to step outside your comfort zone but never throw you in the deep end and never make you discuss anything you don't want to. If you start talking about something and its too much, lets talk about tacos for a minute. Career: I've worked in the counseling field for 15 years in outpatient, inpatient acute care, and residential settings (A.K.A. standard office counseling, mental health hospitals, substance abuse rehabs). I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2010 and my Master's degree in Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma in 2015. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2020.
