Authentic Counseling Services- Richard Turnham
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, LADC-S
Hello, I have 14 years of experience in helping people change and improve their experience. I love helping people and I am so grateful to have found this profession. I am encouraged and inspired daily by significant changes and improvements I see with the people I help.
My approach is meeting you wherever you are in life and really focusing on gaining an in-depth understanding of you. I want to focus on understanding your experiences, motivations, perspectives, emotions, struggles, and circumstances. I want to know you at the most core level. I believe that process will lead to greater self-awareness and through that self-awareness we can begin to find areas that you have control to change. The changes made will create a different, better experience for you. I understand this concept is simple, but difficult to make happen. So, I will focus on building a collaborative plan and strategy to make it easier and more attainable. We will focus on facing fears, accepting things outside of our control, and gaining intention into where we have control. We will focus on ways of thinking about situations and finding helpful perspectives. We will focus on ways to control behaviors and begin doing more of what we want and less of what we don’t. This will create a better emotional experience, but we will also learn how to manage and tolerate difficult emotional moments.
My goal is to create a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged. A place where things become clearer, and you feel more confident and in control. A place where you know seeking truth will be a priority because that is the only way to grow and become stronger.
I enjoy helping people with any issue they are experiencing, including anxiety of all kinds, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma, relationships, co-dependency, boundaries, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem, and grief. I am a Christian but have been an atheist and agnostic in the past, so I am very open to all viewpoints and enjoy working with people of any faith or lack thereof. I will adjust to you. I have had a wonderful marriage of 13 years and have always had a passion for understanding what makes a relationship healthy. I have 2 kids, 10 and 6, and have learned much about parenting. I spent a long period of time in the corporate world and worked my way up to director, so I understand and have gained perspective into that world and what it is like to be successful in it and then what it is like to get out of it. If this message speaks to you, contact me today and let’s begin a life changing experience and relationship.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.

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.

Tulsa carries the historical weight of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in Greenwood — one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in American history — and the ongoing work of community healing and reckoning with that legacy shapes the cultural context in which many local therapists work. The city has significant Native American and African American communities, and therapists offering trauma-informed and culturally affirming care are an important part of the local landscape. Tulsa's oil-dependent economy creates psychological vulnerability during downturns, and therapists frequently address financial anxiety, occupational stress, and the identity challenges tied to an industry in transition. Saint Francis Health System and Ascension St. John provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing independent practice community.
