About Dawn Shanklin

I am a dedicated and licensed therapist in Maryland and Massachusetts with 10 years of professional work experience helping people learn how to work through life difficulties. I have experience working with those struggling with anxiety and depression, specifically, learning how to manage stress and anxiety and improve confidence to cope with life changes. Each person I meet is treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My therapeutic approach is eclectic in integrating other therapeutic techniques such as client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic to promote healing and growth. I look forward to meeting you and helping you meet your life goals.
