Why We Chose the Name Redemption Counseling

The name Redemption Counseling reflects our hope in Jesus Christ and the truth that we are redeemed through Him. As Ephesians 1:7 reminds us, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”

We believe no one is defined by their past, pain, mistakes, or circumstances. Healing is possible, hope can be restored, and every person has immeasurable value.

Everyone has a story, and sometimes that story includes anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck. Whatever season you’re in, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

While our name reflects our Christian foundation, we warmly welcome individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds and beliefs. We provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling in a safe and supportive environment, with the option to thoughtfully integrate faith into the counseling process.

Your story isn’t over. Healing is possible, and there is hope for what comes next.

Welcome to Redemption Counseling. You are valued.

We Want to Meet You!

To everyone reading this: you are not alone, and your life holds deep value and purpose. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, you do not have to face those challenges on your own. Sometimes healing begins by simply taking the next step and allowing someone to walk alongside you. At Redemption Counseling, we would be honored to support you, encourage you, and partner with you as you work toward hope, healing, and growth.

Kristi Patovisti

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma, and I am passionate about creating a safe, compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, compassion, and hope, and I believe deeply in the possibility of redemption, healing, and meaningful change.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Oral Roberts University and became certified in Special Education in Oklahoma before returning to Oral Roberts University to earn my Master’s degree in Counseling. My background in both education and counseling has given me a unique appreciation for the many ways people experience, process, and navigate life.

I use an integrative approach to counseling, drawing from evidence-based methods including Story Work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am also certified in the Gottman Method when counseling couples and have specialized training in working with individuals with mild to moderate Autism Spectrum Disorder. For clients who desire it, I also enjoy integrating Biblical principles and a Christian perspective into the counseling process.

I deeply value each person’s unique story and consider it an honor to walk alongside clients as they better understand their experiences, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and take meaningful steps toward healing and lasting freedom.

I especially enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, sexual struggles, and autism spectrum concerns. I have a particular passion for supporting those who have experienced trauma or church hurt. As an EMDR clinician, I help clients process painful or traumatic experiences that may continue to affect how they feel, think, relate to others, and experience life today.

Above all, I want counseling to be a place where you feel welcomed and supported as you move toward greater healing, hope, and the life you were created to live.

Hi, I'm Haley Pettingell, a Licensed Professional Counselor.
I love working with couples and women who are ready for things to feel different. Maybe your relationship feels disconnected, communication has become difficult, trust has been broken, or you've lost sight of yourself while trying to hold everything together. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My passion is helping couples improve communication, work through conflict, and strengthen their connection. I also provide affair recovery and support couples healing after infidelity. For women, I offer a space to slow down, process what's weighing on you, and build greater confidence and peace in your life.
I primarily use Attachment Theory, CBT, Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Starting therapy can feel a little intimidating, and that's completely okay. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. There's no pressure to have the right words or everything figured out. We simply start where you are and move forward together at a pace that feels right for you.

Julia Sullivan

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I’m Julia Sullivan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma. I care deeply about helping people move through life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and hope. I believe healing begins in a relationship where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

My approach is collaborative and rooted in your lived experience. I meet you where you are and tailor therapy to your needs and goals. I specialize in supporting women and adults who are navigating transitions, identity shifts, and the pressures that come with changing seasons of life. My work often focuses on anxiety, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, relationship concerns, and women’s mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and other perinatal experiences.

I’m trained in EMDR and use evidence‑based approaches such as ACT, CBT, and attachment‑based therapy. I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all model. I shape our work around what feels most supportive and meaningful for you.

We can’t change the past, but we can grow in understanding ourselves and move toward healing with more intention and freedom. It’s a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they face challenges, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with resilience, clarity, and hope.
