Hello. My name is Goldie Marker Oakes, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I look forward to working with you! I earned my Professional Counseling Degree and have over 15 years of clinical experience ranging from working in the community services board to community agencies and private practice. My work has included working with youth (ages 11-18), adults, and family, all of which dealt with meeting the needs to heal from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger management, substance use, divorce, and phase of life issues. I use a strong eclectic approach that incorporates talk therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and play and art modalities. In addition to using a strong clinical foundation, I frequently introduce and utilize a holistic perspective when appropriate that often focuses on natural remedies and healing using diet, exercise, essential oils, aroma therapy, and Mindfulness Techniques. My ultimate goal as your therapist is to support you in reaching your treatment goals and to grow internally as you move toward finding happiness and fulfillment in your life. This path is not always easy; however, my beliefs tell me that we never have to travel alone.
