Brianna Anderson

I’m Brianna, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children and adolescents. My background includes working with justice-involved youth, which taught me how important it is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where young people feel heard and valued. I strive to meet each child with patience, curiosity, and compassion.
I received my bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma City University and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northeastern State University. I tailor therapy to each child and family, adjusting my approach based on what fits best. From practical coping tools to giving space for emotional expression. My hope is to help kids build confidence, emotional awareness, and skills they can carry into daily life.

Liz Hawbaker

I have a love for music and for people and have pursued both for my professional career. After graduating from Oral Roberts University with a Music and Arts degree, I began teaching in the classroom and privately. I love kids and loved watching how they learn, but while teaching I began to feel myself more drawn to helping people with music instead of teaching music. This prompted my decision to pursue a career in music therapy because it put together both of these things I loved: music and helping people.
I received my music therapy equivalency degree from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. While in my internship I was able to work with a variety of clients, including senior adults, adults, young adults, and children. During this time, I learned that my heart is to work with children, and adolescents. I love being able to connect with my clients in a unique way using music. Music can allow you to communicate without using words and is a tool that we use to reach nonmusical goals.

When I am not making music, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our girls. I love hiking, cooking, and reading. We also love to travel together.
