I Believe In You

The Giant Therapist believes in the power of individuals and couples to make positive changes in their lives. Derek Colvin LPC, is here to guide you on your journey towards a happier and healthier you.

  • What is intensive couples therapy, and how does it work at The Giant Therapist?
    At The Giant Therapist, intensive couples therapy is a comprehensive and focused approach designed to help couples resolve deep-seated issues and improve their relationship dynamics within a condensed time frame. Unlike traditional weekly sessions, intensive couples therapy involves extended sessions that can span several hours a day over a consecutive few days or a weekend. This method allows for a more immersive and thorough exploration of relationship challenges, offering couples the opportunity to address and resolve conflicts more rapidly and effectively. During these sessions, couples work closely with our experienced psychotherapists who facilitate open communication, teach conflict resolution skills, and guide partners in understanding each other's perspectives. The concentrated nature of the therapy creates a supportive environment for meaningful breakthroughs, allowing couples to reconnect and rebuild their relationship foundation. At The Giant Therapist, we believe in providing personalized care and tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each couple. By offering both in-person and online options, we ensure that our services are accessible and convenient, helping couples no matter where they are located. Whether you are struggling with trust issues, communication breakdowns, or any other relationship challenge, our intensive couples therapy aims to foster healing and growth, empowering couples to create lasting positive change.
  • What is Individual Psychotherapy at The Giant Therapist, and how can it benefit me?
    Individual psychotherapy at The Giant Therapist offers you a personal, safe, and confidential space to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Our trained therapists will guide you through your unique journey, helping you understand and heal from past hurts while empowering your growth. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health issues, our in-person and online counseling services provide a tailored approach to meet your specific needs. This process not only supports your emotional well-being but also fosters personal development, making it a transformative tool for a better quality of life.
  • Why should couples consider therapy at The Giant Therapist, and how can the Gottman method help with conflict?
    The Giant Therapist offers specialized couples therapy designed to help partners navigate and resolve conflicts constructively. One compelling reason to consider couples therapy with us is that conflict, when managed effectively, can actually deepen emotional connections between partners. At The Giant Therapist, we utilize the Gottman method, a research-based approach proven to improve relationship dynamics. This method focuses on enhancing communication, building mutual respect, and understanding emotional needs, thereby turning conflict into an opportunity to strengthen the bond between partners. Whether opting for in-person or online sessions, our professional therapists guide couples through tailored interventions that foster healthier, more satisfying relationships.
  • How do therapy sessions work at The Giant Therapist?
    A: At The Giant Therapist, our therapy sessions are designed to provide a supportive and confidential environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Here's a breakdown of how they typically work: 1. **Initial Consultation**: The process begins with an initial consultation where you will meet with one of our licensed psychotherapists. This session helps us understand your needs, concerns, and goals for therapy. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and see if you feel comfortable with the therapist. 2. **In-Person and Online Options**: We offer both in-person and online counseling to accommodate varying needs and preferences. Whether you prefer the face-to-face interaction of an office setting or the convenience of virtual sessions, we have options to support you. 3. **Individual and Couples Psychotherapy**: We provide tailored sessions for individual clients dealing with personal issues such as anxiety, depression, or stress, as well as couples therapy aimed at improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. 4. **Session Structure**: Sessions typically last 50 minutes and follow a structured yet flexible approach. Your therapist will employ various therapeutic techniques suited to your specific situation, ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to mindfulness practices. 5. **Intensive Couples Therapy**: For couples requiring more focused attention, we offer intensive therapy sessions. These are longer and more frequent engagements designed to dive deeper into relationship issues, providing a concentrated effort to work through complex challenges. 6. **Ongoing Support**: Therapy is an ongoing process, and progress is made over time. Your therapist will work with you to set goals, track your progress, and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure you’re getting the most out of your sessions. We at The Giant Therapist are dedicated to supporting your mental and emotional well-being through compassionate and professional care. Whether you choose individual or couples therapy, in-person or online, our goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.
  • What are The Giant Therapist's rates and insurance coverage options?
    At The Giant Therapist, we offer a free initial 15-minute consultation to help you determine if our services are the right fit for you. Our rates start at $150 per session for both individual and couples psychotherapy, as well as for intensive couples therapy. Please be aware that we do not accept private insurance, except for HealthChoice of Oklahoma. Should you have any questions about our rates or need further assistance with insurance matters, feel free to contact our office directly. Our aim is to provide you with the highest quality of care and support on your therapeutic journey.
  • What's the difference between individual and couple therapy?
    A: At The Giant Therapist, we offer both individual and couple therapy, each tailored to unique needs and objectives. Individual therapy focuses on personal issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or personal growth. It involves one-on-one sessions with a therapist who provides a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Couple therapy, on the other hand, involves both partners in a relationship working with a therapist to address and resolve issues that affect their relationship. This can include communication problems, trust issues, conflicts, or intimacy concerns. The goal is to improve relational dynamics, enhance understanding, and foster a stronger emotional connection between partners. Both types of therapy are integral parts of the comprehensive mental health services offered by The Giant Therapist, whether in-person or online. Each approach is distinct but can be equally valuable, depending on your specific situation and goals.

My Approach

I approach the therapeutic experience as a journey. YOUR journey. You are the expert on you. I may have expertise in mental health and what makes relationships work, but that doesn't make me an expert on you. My role as a psychotherapist is to help you make sense of your life, the way you feel and your experiences. Then we work within that context and understanding to create the change that you want.
