PainPals
Chronic Pain Group (Pain Pals) will begin Wednesday, October 3rd. Hours will be from 4:00-5:30.My group leading experience includes six years leading the Anxiety Group at the Mental Health Association of Oklahoma. I have led a therapy group for adult victims of sexual abuse. I have led processing groups at Brookhaven and Laureate and Aftercare groups for persons in recovery from alcohol and drug dependency.In introducing me to prospective clients, please emphasize my 20+ years of counseling experience with individuals, families, pre-marital, and married couples.I am a lifelong learner and am now a candidate for LPC in the state of Oklahoma. Therefore I am able to offer lower rates than other counselors on staff. Please assure them I will be able to confer with colleagues as needed to best help them.Basically, although working on licensure, I am no novice in the field. I have a compassionate heart and am thrilled at the opportunity to work with persons needing care.Mary L. Call, M.A.LPC CandidateCrossroads Counseling & Consulting

Continuing Education Event: Sexual Addiction and Partner Trauma: A New Perspective
Sexual addiction has become very prevalent in our culture- pornography, affairs, emotional attachments, just to name a few. While men who struggle with the addictions often have several treatment options to receive help, however their spouses are often left feeling alone, humiliated, and traumatized.
This Event will show a new perspective to treating couples that have an issue with sexual addiction and in treating the partner for trauma. LPC/LMFT CE approved; LCSW can request paperwork to submit to their organization to inquire about approval.
This Event is being led by Jim Grinnell, LMFT, ABCST and Julie Likins, LCSW, APSATS.
