Our counseling is different.

A unique counseling specialty

We journey to explore  and improve  behavioral habits-  and connections with craving…

Some call this mindfulness or spirituality or meaning making…

We are Oklahoma Board Approved (both LPC and LADC boards) for Clinical Supervision. If you are a Counselor seeking to become licensed  and need supervision then call for a consult. We have limited space available at this time- but we do offer both face to face options in Eastern Oklahoma and virtual supervision options if needed. Call for a consult to discover  if we have a compatable vision of the practice of clinical mental health counseling. Maybe we can learn from one another as you seek licensure.


Dr. Ricky Huggins D Min; M Ed; LADC-MH; LPC has experience with many behavioral health areas of interest including theological meaning making; trauma, family of origin, faith, cultural and other co occurring issues such as substance use disorder and more.

We are also qualified to provide DOT compliant Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations. The DOT SAP return to work process is a top priority for us so expect to be seen within 48 hours of asking for this service.

DOT return to work issues?   

Fail or refuse a drug test on the job? Department of Transportation’s Drug and Alcohol Regulations prohibit you from returning to DOT  safety-sensitive duties until you complete the DOT SAP return-to-duty process so we encourage you to call Ricky Huggins, LADC-MH, SAP, at (918) 617-6839 or 479-650-9691 to schedule a SAP Initial Evaluation at once. You get:

  • A Next-Day confidential  appointment within 48 hours.

  • Initial phone consultation on request

  • Call 479-650-9691  or 918-617-6839 to schedule.

DOT US Department of Transportation

DOT SAP return-to-duty guidelines exist for a potential or current employee/employee who is found to be operating in a safety-sensitive position  under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Department of Transportation regulations requires all employers to give employees SAP contact information, regaurdless of a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy in place.

Ricky Huggins LADC-MH is an approved SAP that can help you with compliance with  DOT rules and regulations.

How does the SAP process work?

First, a confirmed DOT violation happens.  After this, the employee must stop safety-sensitive duties, and cannot return to safety-sensitive duties until the employee completes the DOT-regulated return-to-duty process. So a face-to-face initial SAPevaluation, then  a recommendation to be done and finally a follow-up SAP evaluation is done.  Then a Return-To-Duty-Test is done  by your present or future employer when you go back to work in safety-sensitive duties per DOT regulations.

ADSAC Assessments and Classes

We also offer ADSAC DUI and other various assessments to help people identify opportunities and methods for the courts and department of public safety to help with other positive lasting life changes.

Your next class can start  anytime you are ready….

Call 918-617-6839 or  479-650-9691 for an appointment or referral- 9/5 M-F, Wednesday and Friday evenings after 5 or for 24/7 direction to crisis/emergency services in our Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas service areas.

In Person and Telehealth services are available. 

Fees & Insurance  Information

  • Fees for all counseling and therapy services are $85  for a 45-minute session. 
  • There is no charge for brief phone consultations under 15 minutes in length.  

Insurance

I am an in-network provider for HealthChoice insurance. If you are covered by any other insurance plan, I am considered an out-of-network provider.  In those instances, you will need to pay me directly after each session, and then I will provide you with a receipt for services (commonly called a “superbill”), which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement consideration.

Out-of-network coverage varies by plan, so before you schedule an appointment, I recommend that you contact your plan administrator or insurance company to understand the specific out-of-network coverage benefits provided under your plan.  Some helpful questions to ask of them include:

  • What is the maximum allowable rate you will reimburse me for out-of-network services?
  • Is there a deductible that has to be met before I am reimbursed for out-of-network therapy sessions?  If so, what is the deductible, and how close am I to meeting it?
  • Is there are limit as to the number of sessions for which you will reimburse me?

Payment

Cash, check, and most credit cards are accepted for payment at the time services are rendered.  You may have a health savings account (HSAs) and or a flexible spending account (FSAs) previously designated for such purposes.  Please make checks  or online payments payable to Ricky Huggins.

Cancellation Policy

To avoid being charged for the full cost of your session, please contact me at (479) 650-9691 at least 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends) to cancel or reschedule your appointment.  I am currently booked a few weeks out, so providing me with this notice allows me the opportunity to serve new and existing clients who are on the waiting list.

Help When You Need It The Most

Need an Oklahoma ADSAC 10 or 24 hour (DUI) school?  Or maybe needing  Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) licensed and qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services?
