A Bit About Me
Hello! I’m Shepard, the founder of Guiding Storms Counseling LLC. Welcome to my practice! I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate through life's storms with resilience and strength.
โ
I come from a complex background with a deep understanding of how traumatic experiences can shape us. As a military spouse for 20 years, I’ve gained invaluable insights into the challenges faced by families and individuals in unique situations. This experience fuels my dedication to providing empathetic and effective support.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy gaming, reading, learning new languages, photography, and a variety of other hobbies, which helps me maintain a healthy work-life balance. I believe in the power of self-care and am always exploring new ways to grow both personally and professionally.
I’m here to support you every step of the way. Reach out today to start your journey towards healing and growth. I look forward to working with you!
Ways I Can Support You
My Counseling Style:
My approach to therapy is collaborative and personalized, tailored to your unique needs. I believe in the importance of a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences openly.
Life experiences have a way of shifting our perspectives and influencing how we navigate the world around us. My role is to assist you in adjusting your perspective, to find clarity amidst the chaos, and to rediscover your path forward. If you're feeling weighed down by life's storms and struggling to carry the weight on your own, know that you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to walk alongside you, providing a safe space for you to explore your feelings, process traumatic events, and navigate the challenges of daily life.
I tailor sessions to meet the needs of the individual client. Every session is different based on your needs. Let's work together to help you find your peace.
My goal is to help you find clarity amidst the chaos and rediscover your path forward.
My Qualifications:
Professionally, I hold a B.S. in Psychology, a certificate in Applied Sociology, and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC). I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, EFT Tapping, and more. Since 2018, I’ve been committed to helping my clients overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues, including those within polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. I'm continuously expanding my expertise to better serve you.
I offer therapy to diverse populations, with a particular focus on supporting women through life's challenges. I work collaboratively with you to honor your unique needs and empower positive change.
Together, let's embark on a journey towards healing and growth
