About Dr. Freda Shipman

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in clinical settings, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their personal strengths. My practice is rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of the unique journeys we all face.

My areas of clinical expertise include aging and geriatric concerns, anxiety, anger management, abuse recovery, caregiver stress, chronic and terminal illness, oncology, visual impairment, and special needs planning. I also support individuals and families through couples therapy, career transitions, retirement planning and adjustment, end-of-life care, financial management, and work-life balance.

My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I meet you where you are, offering a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful goals. I believe in treating every person with dignity and compassion, and I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs and circumstances.

Taking the step to seek help takes strength and courage. I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and empowerment.

I look forward to being part of your journey.
