About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Oklahoma with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy, psychoeducation, counseling and life coaching. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD, bipolar, and sexual and gender issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a family systems approach, choice theory, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you in that next step.

I look forward to working with you!

Very calm and understanding man. Pointed me in the right direction while letting me realize what I needed to do. Highly recommend

I didn't know I needed "a Dr. Shepherd" until I got Dr. Shepherd!

He has been absolutely amazing in steering me along the path I need to take while allowing me to feel like I am the one leading.

I would certainly recommend him to everyone (except my ex-husband).

I like that Reverend Shepherd shares the same faith as me, and provides me with advices that fit the biblical picture.

Leonard has been so great for me, it was not what I was expecting in a counsellor, but his compassion, wisdom and skill has played a huge part in my recovery from a very painful season. His biblical knowledge and understanding of God's heart has been a highlight for me. Thankyou so much Leonard for your work and your care.
