Daran Shipman, LMFT Therapeutic Approach
My approach is collaborative, affirming, and trauma-informed, designed to ensure you feel supported and empowered on your journey. I believe that everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space to process difficult experiences and explore new possibilities. Using evidence-based practices, I tailor my work to meet your unique needs while honoring your full identity through cultural sensitivity and an intersectional lens.
Grounded in family systems theory, I recognize that our relational patterns often span generations, shaped by meaningful experiences and contexts. From this systemic perspective, I consider your strengths, resources, and relational networks as integral to the healing process. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel affirmed and empowered every step of the way.
Let’s begin creating the life you deserve—reach out today.
