Online Individual Therapy for Young and Older Adults Exploring Identity, Spirituality, and Alternative Lifestyles in Oklahoma
Demetria Bonds, LMSW (she/her)
Healing isn’t about returning to who we were, but about allowing ourselves to grow into someone new.
My practice is guided by the principle of Sankofa (“to go back and fetch it”) representing the courage to look back on our lives, to honor where we’ve been, and to carry the wisdom of those experiences forward into our growth.
Every part of your story matters, including the pain. As a therapist, I will be your guide and a witness, holding space as you heal from the past and rediscover your strength, meaning, and voice.
As a Black woman, I create a safe, healing space for those within Black and rural communities who may not always feel seen or supported in traditional mental health settings. My approach is also affirming of those who are LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, and those exploring identity, non-religious spirituality, and alternative lifestyles.
Through a combination of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, mindfulness, HOPE, and strengths-based approaches, I create a warm, gentle therapeutic space for young and older adults of any gender.
Healing begins when we are truly seen and accepted.
Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, burnout, or seeking connection, meaning, and a space to rediscover yourself without judgment, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you uncover your own path forward.
