Julius Walt
Clinical Operations Coordinator, LPC-S
Since starting in the counseling field since 2015 I have worked as an intern, case manager, LPC-C, LPC, and now a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and have had the opportunity to work with a number of diverse clientele.
Much of my initial experience has been with adults with chronic sever mental health issues in an intensive outpatient setting with day services, group, and individual sessions. I have also had significant experience working with clients ages 6 and older in individual outpatient settings. During this time I have worked in inpatient hospital settings, serving the unhoused population through shelter work, in multiple outpatient care settings. I have worked in private practice, schools, and community mental health settings. I am supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and ability to help and support clients who meet with me in all of the stressors that life presents them. I work with clients from a number of different therapeutic theories based on each unique situation and operate from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual methodology of treatment to ensure that we cover all areas of life that connect to our mental health.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time in the garden and attempting to grow anything I can get my hands on and encouraging others to do the same. I also enjoy reading, cooking, and engaging in the local community.

Sheila R. Hudgins
MA-LPC
Life is hard and it can become overwhelming with all the difficulties we face daily. It is important for us to be heard and recognized in our struggles and challenges. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years’ experience in community mental health offering therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings. I love to provide my clients and families a listening ear and safe space to be understood and valued in their stories, to recognize how past experiences inform their present and discover strengths they didn’t even know they had. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and its work of solution-oriented goals and strategies to manage life. If you are struggling, experiencing pain, hurt or loss and feeling the need for connection, understanding and a new perspective, there is hope. This is the time to reach out and make the first step towards healing and growth
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years’ experience in community mental health providing therapeutic services for adolescents, adults and families struggling with the impact of trauma, abuse, anxiety and depression.

Leane Shannon
MS, LPC
I have had the privilege of working with children and families my entire adult life, first as an educator, and now as a therapist. I believe that children are precious gifts who sometimes struggle with emotional problems, behavioral problems, trauma, or difficulties that parents and guardians don’t always know how to handle. This is where therapy, specifically play therapy and family therapy, can be especially helpful. Children often do not understand their own feelings or how to manage big feelings or difficult situations. They do not have the vocabulary to express what their feelings and problems are. For these reasons play therapy can be especially beneficial for this young population. I find joy in coming alongside children, their caregivers, and families to help children learn how to express and cope with their big feelings as well as how parents and guardians can help support their children in this process. Being a parent is hard. Being a kid is hard. We all struggle at times. But, if you discover that you need some guidance in helping your child identify their feelings and learn how to get their needs met in a healthy way, I am happy to help.
I earned my B.S. in education in 2010, and my masters degree in clinical mental health
counseling in 2019. I since have completed my candidacy and my play therapy training and supervision. I
specialize in working with children and families utilizing play therapy techniques as well as other
modalities depending upon each child’s and family’s needs. Whether your child’s problems seem big or
small, I would love to partner you, your child, and your family so that your child may reach their highest
potential.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am privileged to be working with a wide array of clients. My biggest passion is helping pre-marital and married couples create a strong intimacy and desire for one another in their relationships, as well as assisting families navigate their struggles to build a better cohesion with one another.

I also have a special place in my heart for helping families with children who have autism, due to working with these wonderful human beings for the past three and a half years.
Additionally, my service in the Marines gives me a first-hand understanding of the various challenges veterans face. Working with veterans is also another demographic of people that I feel especially equipped to help them with managing their struggles in life.

Joanna Jackson
LPC-C
I am an LPC-Candidate and I graduated with honors from Northeastern State University in 2022 with my Master’s of Science in Counseling.
Navigating past traumatic experiences while rising to meet the demands of life often leaves us emotionally depleted, anxious, and going through the motions in “survival mode.” The most important lesson I have learned on my own healing journey is that healing does not begin from any place other than within. Learning to slow down and choose me in a world that constantly rushes us from one thing to the next has been instrumental in allowing me to create a life that is intentional, authentic, and fulfilling. I am passionate about helping my clients obtain the tools and awareness they need to reclaim control and create the life they want to live.
I primarily work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and general life stressors. I also enjoy helping clients navigate life transitions, spiritual deconstruction/reconstruction, self-esteem, and boundaries. I practice from a person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused theoretical foundation. Other modalities include Mindfulness as well as a holistic and Polyvagal informed lens to promote mind-body connection.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two cats. I love a good brunch with close friends and I travel every chance I get.

Lindsay Arcuri
LPC-C
I am an LPC candidate with a master’s degree in licensed professional counseling with a concentration in marriage and family therapy. I believe you are the expert on your own life and my goal is to meet you where you are at to discover the most helpful way forward that works best for you. I primarily employ a form of CBT called Cognitive Behavior Modification that focuses on whatever you are feeling and how it ties into thoughts and behaviors. I view emotions as a message from your body trying to tell you something. I think perspective is powerful and that part of our realities are formed from the stories we tell ourselves. I also have a heart for helping people grow in their self-compassion as well as finding meaning and purpose.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in Tulsa and I enjoy baking, reading, working out, drawing, watching movies, going on walks and runs with friends, and trying out new restaurants and coffee shops with my husband.

Meghan Dodson
MHR, LPC
I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Behavioral Science from Rogers State University and a Master’s of Human Relations, in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma. Helping people has always been a passion of mine. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a social worker in the foster care setting where I devoted 10+ years working with children and families. This work deepened my understanding about attachment, the critical importance of connection in human development and its impact. I have worked with people of all ages and stages of life. My additional passion is helping clients through transitional times— especially new parenthood. Parenting is hard, but it can be much more rewarding and energizing when we refocus our priorities on authentic and loving connections. My empathetic nature plays a role in my therapeutic style. Much of my clinical work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, trauma informed, relational, and attachment-based approaches, as well as elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices. However, I value an eclectic approach and meeting my clients where they are and coming along side them. Just as important as the clinical framework, is my connection with you, the client. My goal is to assist you in exploring and discovering your own ability to heal from within. Through empathy, insight, and mindfulness I work to create a safe, connected, and restorative environment where you feel heard without fear of judgment.

Mike Blacet
LCSW
My counseling approach accepts the whole person and their broad experience, taking this into account to help clients to see and understand their pain, strengths, root causes, and remedies in order to move toward a full sense of healing and resolution. I believe that this full sense of healing cannot be had without a strong and healthy sense of purpose, hope, identity, and worth. “Why is this happening?” and “What can I do about this?” are common questions that come with many struggles. This is often true when the struggle is individual, circumstantial, or involves relationships with others. I can help address these issues.
I help clients identify and tend to the needs they have that underlie the problems, to craft practically applied solutions, and to address obstacles that have been keeping clients from their healing. I guide clients to personalized remedies that foster healing and protect from repeating painful and ineffective patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Andrea Ruiz – Fries
Operations Coordinator
After graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 2019 I spent four years as a case manager helping advocate for fellow Tulsans. I mostly worked with adults that had complex physical and mental health needs, histories of trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I loved being able to make a difference in my community and am glad I continue to do so with Chris King Counseling Services. My role as the operations coordinator at CKCS looks a little bit different than my time as a case manager. While I no longer have a hand in direct client care I help get our clients connected to one of our dedicated therapists. In addition to linking our clients to quality care, I make sure things run smoothly for both clients and staff. Helping has always been in my nature!
