Leonard S. Shepherd

With a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and an undergraduate degree in liberal arts with an emphasis in health care and religious studies, I work with children and families resolving conflicts, making adjustment and the achievement of personal and collective goals. Individuals and families troubled with Parenting skills, trauma, grief, disability, theological belief systems, substance abuse, and gender role adjustment issues become clients. Also, children and families struggling with ADHD and adolescents with delinquency in correctional care come to work on achieving effective coping, and cognitive and behavioral change. There’s useful value in the vice and virtues of many theoretical orientations. However, Choice Theory and Reality Therapy I use most having gained so much success with this approach. Nonetheless, I employ what works best for the client with high regard and commitment to ethical and evidence based practices.
