Who this is for

You know something is wrong. You just haven't been able to say it out loud.

Maybe you left the church years ago, but the voice in your head still sounds like a sermon. Maybe you're still in the pew every Sunday, but something has cracked and you don't know what to do with it. Maybe you've built a career that looks impressive from the outside, but you spend most of your time waiting to be found out. You grew up being told that doubt was dangerous, that your worth was conditional, that certain feelings were sinful and certain questions were off-limits. You learned to perform, to achieve, to keep the peace. And you got very good at it. But the inner critic followed you out of the church and into your office, your relationships, your whole life. You're intelligent enough to see the patterns. What you need is a room where you can finally say the things you've never said out loud.

Areas of focus

What we work on together

Religious Trauma and Deconstruction

When the faith you were handed starts to crack, or has already fallen apart.

You grew up in a high-control or high-demand religious environment, a community where the rules were clear, the stakes were eternal, and questioning was not an option. Now you're carrying the weight of that upbringing in ways you're only beginning to name: chronic guilt, fear of your own judgment, a body that still flinches at things that shouldn't matter, a grief you can't explain to people who weren't there.

Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, and Shame

The harsh inner critic that followed you into your career, your relationships, your whole life.

You're a professional, a business owner, a creative, a performer. By most measures, you're doing well. But you hold yourself to a standard that nothing ever satisfies, and you're exhausted. The fear of being found out, the inability to rest, the sense that your accomplishments don't quite count, these aren't character flaws. They're patterns with roots. And they can change.

Therapy for Artists, Performers, and Creatives

For people who were told that standing out, making art, or wanting more was dangerous.

Creative block, performance anxiety, comparison, shame about your work, the feeling that making art is self-indulgent. These aren't personality quirks. They're often the direct result of growing up in environments where self-expression was suspect.

The therapist

About Marlon

I'm Marlon Breaux, a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Midtown Oklahoma City. I'm a secular therapist, and I work with adults across the full spectrum of identity, background, and belief, doing the hard, specific work of untangling what they were taught from what they actually believe, and what they were told they were from who they actually are. My practice is small by design. When you work with me, you work with me.

The approach

What it's like to work together

Therapy with me is a conversation between two adults. I don't have an agenda for what you should believe, who you should be, or where you should land. Secular means I keep my own beliefs out of the room. It doesn't mean I dismiss yours. If you're rebuilding a faith that works for you, that's the work. If you're done with religion entirely, that's the work too. Affirming means everyone who walks through this door is safe. Whatever your identity, your background, your history, you don't have to translate yourself. You can say what you actually mean. Whatever you've been carrying, whatever you've never said out loud, this is the room for it.
