Dakota Sheehan, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Brain Injury Specialist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through emotional challenges, trauma, and complex life experiences.

I have extensive experience working with individuals living with traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and autism. In addition, I provide equine-assisted therapy for veterans and first responders, a population I am deeply passionate about supporting.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and empowering. I view therapy as a partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I offer clinical insight and guidance to help you better understand challenges, explore new perspectives, and build practical strategies for growth. Together, we will develop a personalized set of tools to support your healing and long-term well-being.

I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based therapy, and multicultural counseling frameworks. As a result, each session is tailored to your individual needs and experiences.

My style is direct, honest, and compassionate. I focus on building strong rapport and creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and free from judgment. Whether you are working through long-standing concerns or navigating a new transition, my goal is to help you feel more clear, capable, and grounded moving forward.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Chestnut Hill College, where I double majored in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I also hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Multicultural Counseling from Delaware Valley University.
