I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Science in counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I've supported people through trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, relationship conflict, and some of life's most disorienting transitions. I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and a direct style to every session. Good therapy should feel real, not clinical.

Hi! My name is Shawn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas with a passion for providing a high quality of services to individuals struggling with mental health disorders. I earned my Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2009 and have worked diligently in the mental health field since that time.
I believe therapy should be tailored to each client individually as it is not a “one size fits all" solution. Whether or not you have a “diagnosis”, therapy is incredibly important and is a space where you get to talk about your everyday stressors or your major traumas. It’s up to you. I am dual licensed in Texas and New York.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Garland
Finding OCD therapists in Garland starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not every therapist has specific training in it. As you compare options, look for experience with intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or related anxiety concerns. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy as part of their approach.
Garland has local therapy options, and virtual care can also expand your search across Texas when you want more choice or need a schedule that fits your day. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty and check for direct ERP experience, session structure, and current appointment availability. You can also review whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask about their approach before booking a first session.
Therapy in Garland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
