Ala Therapy Collective is a diverse team of some pretty darn cool and skilled therapists (if we can say so ourselves!) who offer affirming, individualized therapy to meet your unique needs.

Let’s start by saying the quiet part out loud.

Yes, we’re a group practice, but we’re not a therapy mill.

And you’ll never be just a number to us. Personalized care will ALWAYS be our priority.

Whether you are seeking identity-affirming therapy in Oklahoma for yourself, your child, or your family, we can help. From EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety to forensic immigration evaluations for I 601/I 601A, VAWA, and asylum cases, we provide care that goes beyond regular degular therapy to support real, lasting change.

Our team provides specialized online therapy across Oklahoma City and Tulsa, as well as California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Texas, and Utah.

We make finding specialized, high-quality care simple.

How great is that?

Ala (pronounced AY-LA) means wing, and each therapist in our collective is like a feather in that wing, working together to be part of a greater whole.

And the most important mission of our flock? To help you take flight toward the life you want – and deserve.
