Scotty Hixson, LPC

Scotty Hixson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who brings 15 years of experience in outpatient, inpatient acute care, and residential treatment settings. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2010 and a Master of Science in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma in 2015, and became an LPC in 2020. His background supports work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, and related issues.

Scotty approaches therapy with straightforward honesty and a sense of humor, aiming to create a space where people can be themselves without judgment. He compares the work of therapy to going to the gym - uncomfortable at first, but effective when approached consistently - and emphasizes practical skill building, emotional awareness, and developing flexible, rational thinking. He practices client-centered care, allowing the client to guide the focus while offering encouragement to take realistic steps toward change.

Scotty balances direct feedback with empathy, helping clients reframe unhelpful beliefs and repurpose difficult experiences into motivation for healthier choices. Outside of his professional life he is a father of three boys, has been married for 19 years, and enjoys movies, music, art, podcasts, video games, disc golf, and time with his dogs. He is not currently accepting new clients.
