About

“Sometimes in life it seems we keep hitting our head against the same old rock over and over. My approach to counseling is simple. We either remove the rock or how to navigate around it.”

Hello, my name is Toppie Lincicome. I earned my Masters in Counseling at the University of Central Oklahoma. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for over 20 years. I have worked with people from all walks of life helping them gain power over problems that hold them back from attaining the happy healthy life they would wish to enjoy.

Over the years I have developed approaches to counseling to help people stop smoking, lose weight, and resolve issues involving traumatic memory. I have been trained in hypnosis and EMDR. EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a therapy that has helped people recover from traumatic memories ranging from car accidents to sexual assault/harassment (rape).

I have helped people overcome various problems such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and substance abuse.
How do we get there? It usually beings with one simple question, “What would you like to change today?” This is not to suggest everything can be fixed in one session, but we begin by taking small steps. It can be amazing the difference small incremental improvements can make opening up to a whole world of possibilities.

Clients have found my approach to counseling is respectful, well measured and careful. People who work with me are encouraged to ask questions at any point of our session and to let me know if they ever felt things were not working or if at any point they felt uncomfortable. The goal is collaboration.

Outside of counseling I am a semi-professional trombonist and a big band jazz enthusiast (old school). I play in several jazz bands including my own. Every other year my wife and daughter travel to Malaysia to visit my wife’s family and eat lots of real spicy food.
