Dr. Shannon Crawford

CEO, Licensed Psychologist, Executive Coach, Podcast Host, SpeakerAs an accomplished business leader and highly respected licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Shannan Crawford knows the importance of applying empirically supported strategies to preserve a lasting legacy that so many leaders spend years building through hard work and sacrifice.

Over the past decade, Dr. Crawford and her team have collectively provided life transforming psychotherapy for thousands of business leaders, couples, families, and organizations through Crawford Clinics. As founder and CEO, she has established a holistic psychotherapy practice with a team of highly vetted and trained therapists to ensure an impactful experience to help every client achieve success in their life and business.

Dr. Crawford has leveraged her 20-years studying the breadth of psychotherapy approaches and inner healing models, to innovate the Restoring-Self-Cohesion (RSC) model. Through RSC, Dr. Crawford has fashioned an approach focused on maximizing your mental health by seeking to bring synergy to the various parts of who you are. As deeply conscious individuals, we each have a complex boardroom internally, and when a board member – or a part of the inner self – is out of alignment, it can jeopardize the integrity of one’s legacy through trigger reactions.

By applying RSC, Dr. Crawford and her team help identify and resolve the unconscious blocks that have been sabotaging mental health that keeps executives from achieving their personal, professional, spiritual, and relational goals.

By equipping leaders to learn how to cultivate their internal world to bring one’s inner boardroom in right alignment, not only do her therapy and executive coaching clients experience a reduction in internal turmoil and imbalance, but they also notice extraordinary and unexpected benefits in their enjoyment of life, in their faith/spirituality, in their marriage and parenting, in their career, and in clarifying and advancing toward fulfilling their kingdom purpose.

Along with her clinical practice, advising other health providers, and leadership consulting, Dr. Crawford also shares her knowledge and expertise along with thought leaders on curated topics on her podcast Unlocking U with Dr. Shannan Crawford, designed to help leaders and influencers thrive emotionally, relationally, spiritually, and vocationally.

Dr. Crawford resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth and frequently travels for speaking engagements as well as providing virtual and in-person therapy and executive coaching. A passionate advocate for freedom, Dr. Crawford serves on the auxiliary board for Untraffick America.
