There is no Chatman Counseling and Rehabilitation office in Norman. Clients from Norman and the rest of Cleveland County either come to the Oklahoma City office on South Western Avenue or meet Mr. Omar by telehealth while located in Oklahoma. The practice offers sexual offense treatment, anger management, youth services and the adult group. Which route fits you depends on privacy, your schedule and any requirements you have, and the free consultation is the place to sort it out.

Weigh It

Five Questions to Ask Yourself

Run through these before your consultation.

  • Is there a room at home where you can talk for 45 to 60 minutes without anyone overhearing?
  • Would leaving the house for an appointment help you focus, or would the trip make it harder to attend consistently?
  • Can you keep a schedule that often means two individual sessions a week?
  • If a court, probation officer, OJA caseworker or program is involved, have you asked whether they accept telehealth?
  • If group work ends up in your plan, how would you attend it? That is worth asking during the consultation.

When the Oklahoma City Office Makes Sense

Some people do their most focused work away from home, where family members, roommates and phones are less of a pull. Meeting at the office also takes away the job of finding a private room and a steady connection for every session.

The office is at 5350 S Western Ave, Suite 522, and visits are by appointment Monday through Friday. If you choose this route, build the trip from Norman into your week the way you would any standing appointment, because consistent attendance carries a lot of weight in treatment.

When Telehealth Makes Sense

Telehealth lets Norman clients skip the trip and meet Mr. Omar from home, with one condition: they must be in Oklahoma while the session happens. It can make a frequent schedule easier to keep around work, school or family duties.

Individual sessions by telehealth are still structured, confidential and nonjudgmental, and you are still held accountable for your actions. The difference is that you supply the privacy. If you expect to be outside Oklahoma when a session is scheduled, call the office first to ask what is possible.

How the Choice Gets Settled

  1. Say Your Preference

    Mention during the free consultation whether you lean toward the office or telehealth, and why.

  2. Check Any Requirement

    If a court, probation officer, OJA caseworker or program is involved, confirm with them which arrangement they accept. That decision is theirs, not the practice's.

  3. Set the Schedule

    At the 1 to 2 hour assessment, session frequency and the mix of individual and group work are set according to your needs and any program requirements.

  4. Review Over Time

    Your plan is adjusted as progress is reviewed, so speak up if the format you picked stops working for you.

Norman Clients Ask

Is there a Norman office?

No. The practice has a single office, on South Western Avenue in Oklahoma City, and reaches the rest of the state by telehealth.

Does insurance work the same way for both formats?

Humana, Oklahoma Complete Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Ambetter and HealthChoice are accepted, and the practice is Medicaid approved. Because plans differ, ask the office to confirm your benefits for the format you choose.

What do I need on my end for telehealth?

A private room, a reliable device and a steady internet connection. When you schedule, ask the office how sessions are joined.

Can a teen in Norman use telehealth?

Yes. Teens located in Oklahoma can use telehealth just as adults can, so plan a private spot at home for sessions, and how consent works for a minor is explained at intake.
