Shaun Wilkinson LCSW Hello. I earned my Master's Degree from the University of Missouri and have worked at a non-profit organization for 8 years where I have provided mental health services, to clients with a wide variety of life experiences and from various cultural backgrounds. I provide services to individuals 18-65 who are struggling with (but not limited to): grief, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and parenting challenges. I use aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Let's talk and see how we can work together to achieve your goals.
