Dr. Franklin Edward Shoemaker
Dr. Shoemaker brings decades of clinical expertise, frontline advocacy, and deeply personal conviction to every conversation. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Qualified Supervisor designation and a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.
He has walked alongside survivors of complex trauma, children in the child welfare system, adoptive and foster families, and communities too long left without a voice.
He does not speak about trauma from a distance. His knowing comes from years of sitting in the most vulnerable rooms in the world and choosing, every single time, to stay. His voice is steady. His purpose is clear. His commitment to truth is absolute.
