In the meantime, here's a brief history of how Bright Eyes Family Services came to be: Becky and Falon met as coworkers for the same counseling agency in 2012. After years of collaborating care on client caseloads, they became friends and trusted colleagues, founding and co-facilitating a therapy group for teenage girls from around the Oklahoma City metro while continuing to provide individual therapy, behavioral health rehabilitation, and case management services. A need was identified for services targeted specifically at adolescents and young adults, who experience unique periods of transition between the traditional treatment demographics of "child" and "adult". The duo also noticed a stark lack of affirmative therapy options for LGBTQ+ youth in their area. To address this gap in competent services, Becky and Falon decided to start their own mental health counseling agency, and in 2015 Bright Eyes Family Services became an official LLC. By treating adolescents and young adults as their own category, clients are able to receive services that address their unique needs as they struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and more in a space that is safe and supportive. Using an approach that is neither sterile nor judgmental, Becky and Falon are able to connect with their clients in a way that is both professional and personal. The hope for BEFS moving forward is to stand out as a different kind of counseling agency by increasing accessibility to quality mental health services while advocating and educating to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness and mental health treatment.
