Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Therapy is a brave step in the process of navigating life’s current challenges and healing past wounds in a safe environment. I offer a unique and compassionate perspective to therapy, employing IFS/parts work, Somatic strategies, and Psychodynamic methods, while drawing on the transformative power of curiosity and creativity as impactful tools for healing and growth. As a genderqueer person and 10 year resident of the city of Detroit, I recognize that oppressive systems contribute to mental health disparities among marginalized groups.
Combining my extensive experience teaching art across all age groups, my Master’s in Social Work, and my experience as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I work from a feminist, anti-racist, perspective.
Working with children (ages 6 and up), teens, and adults, my commitment to inclusivity includes LGBTQIA+ issues, disability, trauma, ADHD, autism, depression, and anxiety. I am here to provide a compassionate therapeutic experience for you to explore your narrative, embrace your strengths, and foster resilience, hope, and joy.
Informed by an intersectional lens, my approach is grounded in equality and empowerment, addressing the impact of all parts of your identity on how you navigate the world and approach growth and healing. I will support you in navigating these complex experiences and identities through empowerment, using Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Internal Family Systems methods. I am affirming of all queer, chronically ill/disabled, and neurodivergent identities, and always continuing my education on the liberation of all people, whether I have shared experience with them or not.
I have particular experience and understanding of the difficulty that neurodivergent, queer, and chronically ill people face in navigating our healthcare system, job market, and social world. I am also well versed in religious trauma, particularly experienced by queer people. Though these are my areas of focus, I am here to affirm and empower anyone looking for support navigating mental health issues, life changes, issues with self worth, trauma, and anything anything that you are struggling to process on your own. I am honored to walk beside on your journey towards healing, growth, and joy.

Tonya Wells
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - Clinical
Welcome. It’s great you are attending to your needs by seeking therapeutic support. I am a therapist who will customize my approach to you. I create meaningful connections with my clients. In their own words, “Tonya gets me, and I leave sessions feeling relieved and motivated. She helps me see my humanity.” They describe feeling safe and accepted in therapy. Commonly, folks/couples seek therapy when navigating transitions such as loss, breakup/divorce, shifting parenting roles, or gender identity/sexual orientation alignment. Many seek therapy to address trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy would begin with us getting clear on your needs, and then setting achievable goals together.

Gayle Clark
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW (OK), LMSW (MI)
Do you feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggling to communicate your needs, or questioning your own experiences? Maybe you’ve felt dismissed, manipulated, or controlled - told you’re overreacting or too sensitive. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of a toxic relationship, emotional wounds from the past, or uncertainty about how to move forward, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Healing is possible, and together, we can help you regain your sense of self, build healthier relationships, and create a life that aligns with your values. If you’re feeling trapped in emotional pain or recurring patterns, I also offer EMDR therapy, which can be a powerful tool to help you process and move forward.
I work with clients who are ready to take an honest look at what’s holding them back - even if past therapy hasn’t brought the results they were hoping for. If you're ready for meaningful change, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to get started. I offer online therapy throughout Oklahoma with flexible scheduling and immediate availability.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.
