We have been counseling adults and children to overcome life's challenges for over 10 years with treatments that get results. We use a patient-centered approach that is About YOU, not just psychological theory. We specialize in a number of evidence-based practices and proven techniques for solving a wide range of presentations, including depression, anxiety and mood disorders. Our non-judgmental approach also uses Your faith as a powerful force for change. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to restructure thoughts that bring pain and replace them with truths that bring peace. In many cases we recommend a 12-16 week treatment that works and lasts. Of course your situation is unique and we will work with you to customize the perfect treatment for you. Our goal is for clients to finish counseling being heard, accepted, feeling better, and truly changed.

Even the strongest marriages encounter difficulties. Some of the most common challenges we see in counseling include:

Communication breakdowns

Financial stress

Parenting conflicts

Trust issues or broken intimacy

Busy schedules that leave little time for connection

These struggles do not have to mean the end of a marriage. In fact, when couples face challenges with openness and a willingness to grow, it can actually strengthen their bond.

Marriage is one of the greatest blessings we can experience, yet it is also one of the greatest challenges. Two people, with different backgrounds, personalities, and expectations, come together and learn how to grow as one. At Oklahoma Christian Counseling, we believe that with faith, love, and intentional effort, marriages can not only survive—but truly thrive.

Marriage is more than a contract; it’s a covenant. Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 5:31, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This unity reflects God’s design for deep companionship, love, and mutual support.

Leaving a trauma-bonded relationship isn’t just emotionally tough—it’s physiologically hard.
Your brain and nervous system become wired to seek comfort from the same person who causes pain.

But here’s the truth: You are not stuck. You are not broken. And you are not alone.
Support, clarity, and healing are within reach.

Have you ever felt emotionally attached to someone who repeatedly hurts you—but still found it nearly impossible to walk away?
This may be trauma bonding: a confusing cycle of pain, followed by just enough affection to keep you holding on.

You’re not weak. You’re human—and healing is possible.

Sometimes resilience means knowing when you need a little extra help. Therapy is a safe space to explore difficult experiences, learn new coping skills, and build emotional strength with guidance.

Resilience doesn’t mean you never feel pain or that you handle everything perfectly. It means you learn, adapt, and keep going — even if it’s one small step at a time.

If you’re interested in developing more emotional resilience, we’re here to help. Reach out today to schedule a consultation. Together, we can explore practical strategies that support your well-being and help you navigate whatever life brings.

The great thing about resilience is that you can strengthen it, just like you would a muscle. Here are a few ways to start:

1. Practice Mindful Awareness
Take time each day to check in with yourself. How are you feeling? Naming your emotions (without judgment) is a powerful first step. Mindfulness practices — like deep breathing or guided meditations — can help calm your nervous system and build your capacity to respond thoughtfully, rather than react impulsively.

2. Reframe Negative Thoughts
When life throws a curveball, it’s easy to slip into “worst-case scenario” thinking. Try to gently challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself: Is there another way to see this? What evidence do I have that things could work out differently?

3. Strengthen Your Support System
Connection is a cornerstone of resilience. Reach out to friends, family, or supportive communities. Sharing what you’re going through can lighten your emotional load and remind you that you’re not alone.

4. Take Care of Your Body
Our physical health is deeply tied to how we handle stress. Regular movement, nutritious food, adequate sleep, and staying hydrated all give your body the fuel it needs to manage challenges.

5. Seek Professional Support
Sometimes resilience means knowing when you need a little extra help. Therapy is a safe space to explore difficult experiences, learn new coping skills, and build emotional strength with guidance.
Resilience doesn’t mean you never feel pain or that you handle everything perfectly. It means you learn, adapt, and keep going — even if it’s one small step at a time.
If you’re interested in developing more emotional resilience, we’re here to help. Reach out today to schedule a consultation. Together, we can explore practical strategies that support your well-being and help you navigate whatever life brings.

Without resilience, even small stressors can feel overwhelming. Challenges can knock us off course for longer, or lead to chronic stress, anxiety, or even depression.

When you build resilience, you’re better able to:

Handle daily stress: You bounce back faster after hard days.

Stay connected: You maintain healthier relationships by managing emotional ups and downs.

Maintain hope: Even in tough times, you’re able to see a path forward.

Protect your health: Chronic stress impacts your body, so resilience supports both mental and physical wellness.

Life is full of unexpected twists — setbacks at work, health challenges, conflicts in relationships, or even global events that shake us. Emotional resilience is what helps us navigate these ups and downs. It’s not about ignoring pain or “just staying positive.” True resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and continue moving forward, even when things are hard.
People who are emotionally resilient still feel stress, grief, or disappointment. The difference is, they’re able to process these emotions and eventually regain a sense of balance. The good news? Resilience isn’t a trait you either have or don’t — it’s a set of skills that you can build over time.

You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference. Even small shifts in how you communicate can lead to healthier conversations and deeper connections. Ask God to guide your words, soften your heart, and help you respond with love. Let this month be an opportunity to become more mindful of how you speak and listen. And if you ever need support or a space to grow in your relationships—I’m here to help you take the next step.
