Hi, I’m Dr. Martecia “Tecii” Oates, the creator of Oneee Step Ahead (OSA). I created OSA to provide affordable, accessible support for college students and current or former athletes navigating major life transitions. Alongside this program, I also own and operate Talks with Tecii, a virtual private practice serving clients in Colorado, Florida, and Oklahoma.

In my counseling practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with people during some of the most pivotal moments in their lives—whether it’s adjusting to college, stepping into a new career, navigating relationships, or simply figuring out the next best step forward. What I noticed is that many people desired structured guidance, accountability, and practical strategies outside of the traditional therapy space.

That’s why I created OSA, a coaching program designed to help you not just cope with life transitions, but move through them with clarity, confidence, and direction. OSA offers straightforward tools, flexible support, and a clear roadmap tailored to the unique pressures faced by college students and former and current athletes, so you feel empowered to build momentum and create lasting, meaningful change.
Dr. Tecii💗
