Virtual therapy for Tulsa families

Tulsa is Oklahoma's second city β€” a place with a strong arts and culture community, significant oil industry ties, and neighborhoods that range from historic to rapidly gentrifying. For new parents in Tulsa, the postpartum period often surfaces in the space between community support and cultural expectation: Tulsans are generally warm and community-minded, but asking for mental health help can still feel complicated in a city where many people prefer to manage things privately. In Midtown Tulsa, Brookside, Broken Arrow, and Owasso, families are navigating early parenthood with varying levels of support. Specialized perinatal mental health care in Tulsa is limited β€” there are few PMH-C certified therapists in the metro, and wait times for those who exist can stretch to months. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to families throughout Tulsa with sessions via secure video from home. Our therapists hold PMH-C certification and accept Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare plans. You don't need to wait for an opening on a local therapist's calendar. Reaching out is enough to get started.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œThe anxiety didn't look like crying. It looked like researching every possible thing that could go wrong, canceling plans because I couldn't manage the variables, and snapping at my partner because I was running on adrenaline 24 hours a day. My therapist helped me name it and interrupt it. I feel like I got my brain back.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œI couldn't put my son down without panicking. I'd check that he was breathing every few minutes through the night. My husband thought I was being a good mom β€” I knew something was wrong. My therapist helped me see the difference between vigilance and anxiety, and gave me tools to quiet the spiral. I sleep now. That alone changed everything.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œMy emergency C-section left me with nightmares and panic attacks. I couldn't talk about the birth without shaking. Therapy helped me process the trauma and reclaim my story. I'm pregnant again now, and I actually feel ready.”

Common questions

  • Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, constant worry about your baby's safety, an inability to relax, physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath, and feeling like something terrible is about to happen. It can be harder to recognize than postpartum depression because hypervigilance after having a baby can seem 'normal.'
  • Postpartum anxiety affects roughly 15–20% of new mothers β€” making it actually more common than postpartum depression. It is also underdiagnosed because parents and providers may mistake heightened worry for normal new-parent behavior.
  • Evidence-based treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps interrupt catastrophic thinking cycles, and mindfulness-based approaches. In some cases, medication may be recommended alongside therapy. A PMH-C certified therapist can help design the right approach for you.
  • Yes. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to residents of Oklahoma. Sessions are conducted via secure video from your home, office, or anywhere private β€” no commute required. All Phoenix Health therapists are licensed and authorized to practice in Oklahoma.
  • PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) is awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) to clinicians who have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health β€” covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.
  • If you're struggling β€” with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping β€” that's enough of a reason to talk to someone. You don't need a diagnosis. A free consultation is a low-commitment first step.
