Therapy for Professionals, Purpose-Driven Men & Women, and Leaders in Transition. Are you high-functioning on the outside but emotionally exhausted on the inside? I help professionals, leaders, and purpose-driven individuals overcome emotional burnout, betrayal wounds, identity loss, and relational fatigue. If you’ve outgrown “surface-level therapy” and are ready to invest in deep, lasting healing—welcome. I’m Dr. Abraham Shanklin, Jr., a Clinical Christian Therapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals break through emotional blocks and rediscover wholeness.
My approach combines practical strategies, spiritual insight, and trauma-informed care to bring both clarity and change. Whether you’re a leader in crisis, a spouse navigating emotional disconnection, or someone recovering from betrayal or burnout, our work will get to the root, bring restoration, and build a new rhythm for your life.
We will not focus on symptom management - we do this journey together. Self-pay clients are welcome and prioritized. I provide a boutique, confidential therapy experience for those ready to do the real work of healing.

I work with clients who may be struggling with identity or communication related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
