Hey! I am Dr. Martecia "Tecii" Oates and I am a licensed professional counselor servicing clients in CO, FL and OK. I work primarily with athletes, college students, young professionals, adults (18-40) and teenagers. I aim to be a helping hand to clients who are navigating life transitions, experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and depression, as well as clients who are struggling with self-esteem and low confidence.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I create a nonjudgmental, safe place for all my clients. It takes a lot of strength to come to therapy. So I believe that it is essential for me to make clients feel welcome from the start of the therapeutic relationship.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with individuals who are open to becoming the best version of themselves. I believe that I am simply a helping hand in your growth, the real work is completed outside of the session.
