Ruth Sizemore, LPC
Tulsa In Person and Telehealth
At the heart of Ruth‘s work is the awareness that healing emerges when the mind is clear and the body is connected. As an attachment-based therapist, Ruth helps clients access the wisdom stored in their physiology through safety, curiosity, and connection.
Ruth‘s background as a nurse grounds her in neuroscience and physiology, shaping her love of brain-based, trauma-informed interventions. Ruth is trained in somatic interventions, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Neurofeedback (BCN), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT). Each of these approaches supports mind–body integration: KAP opens transformative states where old patterns dissolve; Neurofeedback provides direct regulation of brain and body rhythms; RRT rewires outdated responses; EMDR offers structured processing for memory and sensation; and IFS helps clients engage with the embodied experience of their “parts.”
Clients who work with Ruth often find that transformation happens not through effort, but through engaging both body and mind together. By pausing with compassion, connecting with sensation, and resourcing the nervous system, they experience relief from anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm — and a renewed connection with inner wisdom. Ruth invites you into this inner journey of metamorphosis, where clarity, freedom, and purpose can be restored.

Christy Palmer
Medicinal Cannabis Consultant
Christy joined the Palo Santo team to help educate the community and provide support to those using Medicinal Cannabis. Cannabis use for mental health has increased drastically in recent years, but education around this use has not. While Medicinal Cannabis can be helpful for mental health struggles, it is often overused or misused due to a lack of information, causing more harm than good.
Christy, in conjunction with the Palo Santo team, is working to address this need and is passionate about cannabis as medicine for the mind and body. Fueled by the desire to heal her own body after numerous health challenges, she has spent the last 8 years studying cannabis biology and holds multiple certifications in the holistic use of cannabis, proper dosing, and delivery methods. Christy was an educator for Cannabis Training University & a Certified Trainer for ECS Therapy and has lectured across the state on intentional and responsible cannabis use.
With cannabis there is no one size fits all approach and navigating this journey on your own can be expensive and overwhelming. Christy offers an intuitive and individualized approach to this process and has had success working with patients who are having symptoms of pain, stress, anxiety, cancer, auto-immunity and mental health. Whether you use cannabis socially or for symptom relief, she can help guide you toward a predictable outcome.
