Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin

Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has provided counseling services in Oklahoma for many years. She brings a steady, supportive presence to therapy, focusing first on building trust through active listening, unconditional positive regard, and a non-judgmental, genuinely caring style. Her goal is to help clients feel safe enough to share what they are experiencing - including symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and personal history - at a pace that feels manageable.

Theresa takes a holistic, needs-based approach to counseling. She begins by exploring each client’s goals and current concerns, then tailors therapy using one or more approaches that fit the situation. Her work may draw from methods such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, reality therapy, solution-focused therapy, psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices, depending on what is most helpful for the client’s needs and preferences.

She has experience supporting individuals of all ages with concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, psychosis, adjustment-related challenges, and stress. Theresa also helps clients navigate major life transitions such as divorce, new relationships, aging, sudden loss, medical diagnoses, empty nesting, retirement, job loss, or career change. Additional areas of support include self-discovery, trauma and stress-related concerns, homelessness, co-occurring mental health and addiction issues, anger and control concerns, self-esteem, relationship concerns (family, personal, couples, marriage), and crisis support.
