Getting to know Leslie Erin Shepherd

I began my journey as a therapist at Community Mental Health in a rural Arkansas town after earning my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2004. For eight years, I worked with marginalized populations, many of whom had experienced trauma and abuse. My work included outpatient therapy and two years in a residential program for chronically and seriously mentally ill adults under court-ordered care. This allowed me to work with individuals of all ages in various settings, including individual, family, couples, and group therapy, often addressing crises. In 2013, I transitioned to private practice in the DFW area, focusing exclusively on individual therapy for clients aged 15 and older. I work with adolescents and adults on issues including anxiety, depression, grief, work stress, and neurodivergence. I have a passion for women’s issues, including self-esteem, relationship challenges, work-life balance, parenting, caregiving, trauma recovery, reproductive and sexual health, body image, and life transitions like divorce or menopause. I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore and work through these challenges. I have extensive experience with LGBTQ individuals and have supported transgender clients before, during, and after transition. Additionally, I have worked with clients in non-traditional lifestyles, including polyamory and open marriages. My approach is affirming, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. Beyond therapy, I assist clients with practical challenges. I help individuals obtain approval for emotional support animals, short- and long-term work benefits (excluding Worker’s Compensation), and ADA accommodations at work. My goal is to empower clients emotionally and practically, supporting their overall well-being.
