Dawn Shipman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for helping individuals discover their strengths and live more empowered lives. She earned her Master of Education degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, Oklahoma, in 2003. Ms. Shipman began her career as a school counselor, where she developed a strong foundation in supporting children and families. Her dedication to mental health led her to pursue licensure as a professional counselor, which she achieved in Oklahoma in 2011. She is now also licensed to practice in Texas.

Ms. Shipman primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding them back. She has worked with clients across the lifespan, including children, adults, and older adults, but her primary focus has been on supporting children and youth. 

Ms. Shipman is particularly passionate about helping individuals discover their voice and cultivate self-confidence. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time with her grandson and training her Labrador Retriever for future animal-assisted therapy work.
