Owen Clinic Oklahoma City

Counseling For Men

Christian counselors work at the Owen Clinic. As we provide counseling, we strive to glorify God by following the truths of the Bible. The only therapists here are Christian counselors. If you would like, we can incorporate Biblical perspectives and worldviews into your counseling.
We provide high-quality counselors at a reasonable price when clinicians are not necessary. Whenever we refer to Christian Counselors, we are at least referring to a minimum of 45 hours of master's level graduate training, training in anxiety and depression counseling, transition into adulthood, career counseling, and dealing with life issues such as relationship distress, parenting, grief, and adjustment. All counselors at the Owen Clinic are trained in at least one Cognitive Behavioral Approach. Additionally, some have received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Among the training and certifications available here are pastoral care and counseling, consulting, and life coaching. One of their specialties is human development, and another is teaching. There are also licensed and ordained ministers available.
American Association of Christian Counselors code of ethics is followed here, and Christians here are insured. A Christian counselor and a clinical psychotherapist work together at the Owen Clinic, but referrals within the clinic are available if a clinical issue arises. It is not possible for Christian counselors to obtain a license from the state board of health. LPC’s LCSW’s, LMFT’s, PA-C’s, Nurse Practitioners and Medical Doctors are. At the Owen Clinic We have both Christian Counselors and Clinical Psychotherapist.

Through this platform, we have access to additional telehealth consultation professionals, including PA Paul Lowe. Each of our providers is trained and experienced in dealing with the broad spectrum of mental health issues that most people experience, regardless of whether appointments are booked with one of our clinics or with one of our other local partners.
If you require longer-term therapy than Counseling and Psychological Services can provide, you will be referred to outside resources. If short-term one-on-one therapy, small groups, and workshops best meet your needs, or if out-of-clinic treatment is preferable, you and your therapist will decide together. During your treatment, you and your therapist will decide which focus areas should be addressed and what your goals should be.

Your therapist will work with you to determine what are realistic goals for you during your brief therapy session. In order for therapy to be effective, you will need to reflect on issues discussed between sessions and continue working on changes that you want to or need to make. The type of counseling you receive will depend on the issues you wish to address, your counselor's approach, and your goals.
An in-person counseling session and consultation services will be recommended to you if the counselor recommends an in-person counseling session and consultation services. If the therapist recommends individual counseling, you may not be assigned the same therapist as during your initial consultation. Counselors and clients decide how many counseling sessions are best for you based on their needs and CWC resources. Through our group counseling programs or referrals to community therapists, we may also help connect you with longer-term counseling.

Therapist For Teens

The Owen Clinic provides a safe and accepting environment for all patients by providing inclusive services and advocacy. As students seek therapy, we strive to provide them with the services, support, and skills they need to grow, develop, learn, and prosper. In order to help patients achieve their personal and psychological goals, we offer short-term, confidential counseling services. Counseling and Psychological Services will refer patients to other local and community resources when mental health services are not within Owen Clinic's scope and roles. Owen Clinic will offer all patients seeking services the opportunity to have an initial (triage or intake) appointment to determine whether their needs are within the scope of services we provide.
Although the service fee depends on the provider seen, the counseling center strives to provide this service to all patients. Our practice provides counseling services based on Christian principles.

A patient can return to short-term therapy if their intake counselor and they determine that their needs can be met through another short-term therapy session if they return due to a newly-presented problem or stressor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my insurance going to cover my counseling expenses?

Self-paying clients choose therapy for a variety of reasons. A few people are not interested in letting their insurance company dictate how they are diagnosed or treated with mental health issues. For a therapist to be able to bill an insurance company for treatment, the client must first be officially diagnosed with a mental disorder. It is my experience that I treat a large number of clients who do not have a diagnosis of mental health issues or disorders. Managing your healthcare is the purpose of managed care. It is possible that some people may not feel comfortable with multiple people working at an insurance company having access to their personal information, or they may not want to be labelled as mentally ill. Some clients may want their diagnosis and treatment plan confidential, while others may be okay with a therapist giving them a diagnosis. In some cases, people simply do not wish to share any information regarding their mental health status, including that they are seeing a therapist, with anyone other than their therapist or other trusted, known people.
