You've Been Carrying It Alone!
Many men reach a point in life where they feel stuck—but don't talk about it. From the outside, everything may look fine. You're working, providing, and showing up. But internally, you may feel lost, disconnected, frustrated, or unsure of who you are anymore. You may be carrying the weight of a struggling marriage, the pain of divorce, career uncertainty, or questions about your purpose and direction. Most men were never taught how to process these moments. You were taught to be strong, to push through, and to figure it out on your own. But strength doesn't mean carrying everything alone.
My work focuses on providing counseling services that create a safe, confidential space where men can be honest—without judgment, without performance, and without pressure. Working with Dr. Shawn Derritt, a Life Coach for Men, gives you a space to think clearly, make better decisions, and regain control of your direction. Together, we slow things down, clarify what's really happening beneath the surface, and build practical strategies to help you move forward with strength and intention.
Whether you want to rebuild your marriage, navigate separation with integrity, redefine your career path, or reconnect with your sense of purpose, growth begins with a conversation. If something in you knows it's time for change, I invite you to reach out. You don't have to stay stuck. The next chapter can begin today.

“Life Coaching for Men in Kansas City”
This isn't just talking - it's action. My approach to counseling services combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, solution-focused coaching, and real-world application.
I emphasize real-life applications so clients can implement what they learn immediately. Each session is thoughtfully designed to offer clear direction, actionable steps, and effective tools, with a focus on our men's issues. My goal is to facilitate lasting change and personal development that truly makes a difference.
You’ll walk away from each session with: clear direction, actionable steps, and tools you can actually use.
I also offer a married men's support group for those seeking community and guidance.

Life Coaching for Men in Kansas City
I was raised in foster care from age nine to eighteen due to my mother’s mental health issues. Growing up without a father, I was fortunate to receive support from strong men who significantly shaped my life. I understand firsthand the lasting effects of fatherlessness and the quiet struggles many men face, which is why I am passionate about providing counseling services and facilitating men's support groups.
I've faced tough times, including a failed marriage, but I also experienced growth and happiness through a second marriage and the joy of building a blended family. As a first-generation college graduate and the first in my family to earn a doctoral degree, I know what it takes to carve a new path without a guide. My personal journey fuels my commitment to helping men find stability so they can heal, grow, and lead with strength and integrity.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas. I later completed my Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) in Higher Education Administration at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. My academic journey—being a first-generation college graduate and the first in my family to achieve a doctoral degree—demonstrates perseverance, discipline, and a strong dedication to excellence.
In addition to my formal education, I am a Certified Life Coach through Symbiosis Coaching, an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited program. This combination of clinical training and life coaching certification allows me to blend evidence-based counseling methods with practical, future-focused coaching strategies when working with men and couples.

I believe that music can be fundamental in sustaining mental health. It expresses thoughts and emotions, sometimes in ways the listener may not be aware of. Music can become a soundtrack to one's life or life circumstances, much like the support offered by counseling services or a men's support group. If you're looking for guidance, consider exploring life coaching as well. Check out my music store to see if any songs resonate with your life.
