Annelise Kampschaefer
LPC-Candidate
Hi, I’m Annelise, a pre-licensed professional counselor candidate working under the supervision of Juanita Marshall, LPC-S. I know that starting therapy can feel a little intimidating, whether you’re new to it or coming back after some time away. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, carrying old wounds, or going through a big life change. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns shaping your experiences and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself. I’ll be here to support you every step of the way! I support teens and adults navigating trauma, mood challenges, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I help you understand emotions, build coping tools, and reconnect with a grounded, empowered sense of self, at a pace that feels safe. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. It’s about taking a step forward to care for yourself. My approach is warm, trauma-informed and collaborative. I’d be honored to walk with you as you explore, heal, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that want to be seen, heard, and understood.

Lauren Hendershot

Life is hard, and change can feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional challenges, or a major life transition and feel unsure of how to move forward. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where we can work together to build on your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I use CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, play therapy, and person-centered approaches to support meaningful growth and healing. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and asking for help isn't always easy. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and encouragement as you work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Jennifer Allen
MS., LPC-S
I am a lifelong resident of Oklahoma. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Human and Family Services from Southwestern Christian University and my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Mid America Christian University. Licensed Professional Counselor (#6136) Jennifer Allen MS, LPC. My Experience: Throughout my professional career I have had the privilege of working in Oklahoma’s Community Mental Health System in multiple roles which has allowed for comprehensive exposure in providing mental health services. My training and experience include providing individual, group, couple, and family services to clients in infancy through end-of-life stage in office, home, school, and community-based settings. After providing direct care for many years, I spent the last three years managing two Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics. This entailed responsibility for all clinical and nonclinical mental health service needs for two Oklahoma counties. This hands-on experience has allowed me to work extensively with community and individual crises, including assessment, treatment, and prevention. My experience has given me competency on a micro and macro level of crisis management. I professionally and personally have served children and families within the Child Welfare System for over 20 years. Certifications, training, experiences, personal research, readings and receiving my own ongoing supervision and professional support has provided me cultural competence and a clinical skill set within the counseling field of practice. My Approach: Relationships, confidentiality, and positive outcomes are at the core of my practice. I view therapy as a relational, developmental process that is a collaborative approach. The therapeutic alliance between counselor and client is foundational in the developmental process of attaining improved health. My goal is to connect, process experiences, renew hope, alleviate symptoms, generate results, and celebrate successes by offering a commitment to building trust, while providing confidentiality and safety. Each session is time devoted fully to you. Using Best Practice modalities, theories and techniques, your session times will be used to build our individualized, therapeutic relationship and to assist you in exploring, identifying, and processing thoughts and feelings, obtaining personal restoration, development, healing and growth. I will follow the NBCC Code of Ethics and the regulations, codes and rules set forth by the State of Oklahoma. My expectation: In therapy, like all things, you get what you put into it. My expectation is that, with support and guidance, you invest in yourself. The commitment to attend sessions consistently, to have patience with me, you and your process as well as being open will all jump start your success. Please understand that as your therapist I am not here to, “fix,” you but instead I will support and guide you in a collaborative approach in the process.

Every instance and/or event leading up to your current state of being is what makes you, you. In life, you will go through many different chapters, and meet many different versions of yourself. This is the natural complexity; the innate ebb and flow through life’s journey. Do you like what chapter you are on? How about the person staring back in the mirror? Are you stuck in between chapters and cannot seem to make it to the next? Is there current dissatisfied with yourself or surroundings? Wherever you are in this journey, I am here– to meet you exactly where you are. I'm usually in session so TEXT (405-227-6917) to get ahold of me. I offer in-person sessions (Edmond) & Virtual :)

LPC-Candidate
I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting your well-being. I work with adults and adolescents ages 12 and up, meeting each client with compassion, respect, and an understanding that no two people’s journeys are the same. My goal is to help clients recognize their strengths, develop practical coping tools, and gain greater clarity and confidence as they move toward meaningful change. Whether you’re experiencing a difficult transition, feeling overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to be different, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you along the way.
Whitney Riggs-Haaskma
LPC-Candidate
I am a compassionate, client-centered counselor who works primarily with adults, with an eclectic therapeutic approach to trauma and traditional therapy. With training experiences in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, grief counseling, and neurofeedback therapy, I help clients navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and other challenges that can interfere with emotional well-being and daily life. As a former military spouse of more than 16 years, I also understand firsthand the unique demands of military life, including deployments, prolonged separations, frequent relocations, changing familial roles, and the resilience required of military families. This personal experience has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges faced by service members, veterans, spouses, and families navigating significant transitions. My academic background includes specialized degrees and training in research, religion, and education. These provide me with a broad perspective on the ways our experiences, beliefs, relationships, cultures and environments shape who we are. I bring this perspective into therapy through a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach that balances acceptance with meaningful growth. My goal is not simply to help you cope, but to help you develop greater emotional regulation, self-awareness, resilience, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy can be a space to process what has happened, understand what is happening now, and thoughtfully consider what you want your life to become. "The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for." -Fyodor Dostoevsky “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” -Alan Watts
