About

Greetings! My name is Soraia and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oklahoma. I am also a licensed supervisor in Oklahoma for individuals coming in to the mental health field and have over a decade of experience working in Mental Health. I have worked in a variety of settings in my community to improve outreach and access to quality care including outpatient, in-home, school based, and with county and local offices. I have been in private practice since 2015 and have served a diverse group of clients. I have worked in diverse settings from providing cognitive therapy to serving in the schools to improve a students least restrictive environment. I also have experience working with depression, intellectual/developmental disabilities including IEP/IPE as I am CRC eligible, mild autism, and immigration/acculturation issues, parenting issues, marital conflict, behavioral issues in various environments, sibling rivalry, group therapy, and trauma.

My dedication to the field of mental health stems from my motto- "Change your thought, Change your world." I know firsthand that getting help, especially in rural areas can be a challenge so I have made it my mission to serve others. I understand the process for getting help can be overwhelming, as I have family members that struggle with mental health. My large, blended, multicultural family with 9 beautifully unique children has offered me so much insight into areas like coparenting, and adjustment to life phases,, and so much more. This journey can feel so frustrating and lonely at times. I want to help you feel empowered so you can make choices for yourself and your overall well being no matter what age or walk of life you are in.

I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment but I try not to limit myself to just those approaches. I am constantlyworking to improve my education and training to find a way to taylor my services to each client individually. I prefer to use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, reflective, and solution-focused counseling but I believe strongly in evolving my method to match my clients needs. I hope to work with you soon!
