Hey! I am Dr. Martecia "Tecii" Oates and I am a licensed professional counselor servicing clients in CO, FL and OK. I specialize in working with current and former athletes, college students, and adults navigating major life transitions between the ages of 16 and 40.

I focus on helping you understand what’s holding you back, strengthen your sense of self, and create forward momentum—without pressure to have everything figured out.

My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, low confidence, or feeling overwhelmed by what’s next. I focus on helping you understand what’s holding you back, strengthen your sense of self, and create forward momentum, without pressure to have everything figured out.

First session

In our first session, we will begin with brief introductions and then discuss what brings you to therapy today. I do not want our sessions to feel as if I am interrogating you, so we will only discuss as much as you are open to discussing.

Strengths

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a nonjudgmental, supportive environment where clients feel safe enough to be themselves. I know it takes real courage to reach out for help, and I want you to feel genuinely welcomed and understood as soon as we begin working together. By keeping things open and collaborative, my goal is to help you build the confidence to dive into the work that matters most to you. Together, we’ll create a foundation that supports real growth and change, both in our sessions and in your everyday life.

Ideal clients

I work with individuals who are willing to reflect, try new approaches, and continue the work between sessions. My role is to guide and support your process, while helping you build the skills and insight needed to move forward with confidence.

It was my first session, but I already know that I will continue therapy with her! She was really nice and welcoming and very relatable. She helped me open up, and unwrap things that were bothering me. I felt comfortable and was happy with how the call went.
