Meet the Therapists

Different therapists bring different experiences, personalities, and specialties to the room. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking with matters.

Arly Smart, LPC

When trust has been broken in a relationship, it can feel as though the ground underneath you has disappeared.I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating infidelity, betrayal, relationship difficulties, and the process of rebuilding trust.My approach is attachment-based and focuses on helping clients better understand the patterns that influence how they respond to one another, particularly during moments of hurt, fear, disconnection, and uncertainty.For couples experiencing infidelity, therapy may involve understanding what happened, processing the emotional impact, addressing unanswered questions, exploring attachment dynamics, and determining what healing and the future of the relationship may look like.I bring both professional training and personal understanding to this work, and I believe that even when the path forward isn't yet clear, healing is possible.Areas of focus:
Infidelity • Betrayal Trauma • Couples Therapy • Relationship Issues • Attachment • Rebuilding Trust • Marital & Premarital Counseling

Piyush Patel, Ph.D., LPCC

I believe some of the most important things affecting our lives are often the things we have the hardest time talking about.My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, meaning we'll pay attention not only to what is happening now, but also to the patterns, relationships, experiences, and beliefs that may be shaping how you experience yourself and others.I work with adults and couples around relationships, intimacy, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, self-worth, sexuality, and feeling stuck. I have advanced training in sex therapy, EMDR, and couples therapy.Before becoming a therapist, I spent much of my career as an entrepreneur, educator, author, and business leader. That experience also gives me a firsthand understanding of the ways achievement, responsibility, identity, loneliness, and relationships can become intertwined.You don't need to know exactly what you want to say when you walk through the door.We can start there.Areas of focus:
Individual Therapy • Couples Therapy • Relationship Issues • Intimacy & Sexuality • Trauma & EMDR • Anxiety • Life Transitions • Entrepreneurs & Professionals

What Therapy Is Like at Gold Line

Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical, mysterious, or intimidating.You can expect conversation, curiosity, thoughtful questions, and a therapist who is willing to sit with the things that may be difficult to say somewhere else.Our therapists don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.Some sessions may involve understanding the past. Others may focus on something happening in your life right now. Sometimes the most useful work is noticing a pattern you've repeated for years without realizing it.The goal is not simply to tell you what to do.It's to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the choices available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've never been to therapy. What should I expect?Being nervous before your first therapy appointment is completely normal.The first session is primarily a conversation. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's currently happening in your life, some relevant history, and what you'd like to be different.You don't need to prepare a speech, know your diagnosis, or have everything figured out.Showing up is enough to begin.

Do you work with both individuals and couples?Yes. Gold Line Therapy provides counseling for both individual adults and couples.Some people come specifically for relationship counseling, while others begin individually to better understand patterns affecting their relationships, emotional wellbeing, or personal lives.

Do you offer in-person therapy in Oklahoma City?Yes.Our office is located at:Gold Line Therapy
9008 N. Kelley Ave.
Oklahoma City, OK 73131We also offer online therapy when appropriate.

What is couples therapy like?Couples therapy isn't about deciding who is right and who is wrong.Instead, we look at what's happening between you the patterns of communication, conflict, attachment, emotional responses, intimacy, trust, and the ways each partner tries to feel heard, understood, or safe.Our goal is to create a space where both partners can talk honestly and begin understanding the relationship differently.

What is EMDR?EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.It is a structured therapy approach commonly used to help people process traumatic or distressing experiences that continue to affect thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or reactions.If EMDR seems appropriate for what you're experiencing, your therapist can explain the process and determine whether it's a good fit.

What happens in sex therapy?Mostly, we talk.Sex therapy is psychotherapy focused on sexuality, intimacy, relationships, sexual functioning, desire, sexual communication, identity, or other concerns involving your sexual wellbeing.There is no sexual contact or sexual activity between therapist and client.And you will never be expected to discuss something before you're ready.

Do you accept insurance?Gold Line Therapy is a private-pay practice.Fees and availability vary by therapist. You can learn more about current rates when scheduling with your therapist.We believe decisions about your care should remain between you and your therapist rather than being dictated by an insurance company.
