Reviews of Shawn Maguire - Christian Counseling (Psychologist)

Erin Hille

I owe much of my current happiness and the relationship I now have with my husband to Shawn. He is a fantastic counselor who got me to open my eyes to my surroundings and understand things about myself that I wasn't even aware were having such an impact. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

Nathan Traylor

Shawn was sympathetic but truthful in his counseling, and I am appreciative of the wisdom and direction he gave me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help through a challenging time in their life, or to help get a new perspective on how you could do what you are doing now, better.

Deanna Agee

By the grace of God and the help of Shawn’s counseling services, my husband and I have a renewed marriage. He saved our marriage through individual and couple’s counseling along with references to Bible studies and books. He is passionate about helping people! I would strongly recommend his services!

Susan Binkowski

What started from a "Leadership" referral, turned into an amazing transparent, yet eerily observant of the spiritual battles that we were facing. For those of you that "checked out" at "Spiritual"? Well-do you know highly successful people that everything goes "right"? In fact-they are who you wish your life was like???? For us, that was a lie, uncovered by not just a psycho-social platform...but add in the very REAL and intimate opposing Force, aka-the ENEMY... We found new strength in categorizing what was our heavenly Father's "shaping" of our character, to being able to collectively lash back to the LIES we had likely bought into... I pray that regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the same model that I do..."Jesus is Lord, We each have a purpose that would exceed even our own imaginations...if we would believe... and 3rd) . WE ARE NOT supposed to do LIFE alone! We can be like pack dogs. Ferocious as a group, or demoralized...Or secure in knowing, "No Weapon formed against us will prosper!!! He literally picked up the word of GOD AND SAID..."WHO WANTS YOU TO HIDE? WHO WANTS YOU TO FEAR? WHO WNATS YOU TO SUCCEED AND RELEASE OTHER CAPTIVES???? While he IS NOT Jesus-He empowers HIM in your lfe!!!

It is said "Ruin is the Road to Redemption". Shawn has an amazing way of guiding persons through difficult situations to ultimately grow and achieve Peace.

Shelli Elliott

Shawn is very insightful and wise. Grateful to have learned life-giving lessons and healthy boundaries while under his care. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking hope and Godly direction.

Chris Reed

I could say so many things that describe how Sean change not only the way I think but also my life. The most impactful thing is that he gave me hope and value when I believed I didn't deserve it. Thank you Sean!

The Copeland's

Shawn and his wife Tanda have invested so much in me and my wife. The are a true anointed couple and you can feel the love they have for people. They are very wise and have the most generous family I have met since being here in Oklahoma City. We've shared meals together and shared heartfelt stories together. You will be extremely blessed by the Macguires!!!

Shawn is a gifted counselor! We learned so much about our marriage and the impact the world and our environment can play. We also learned the importance of surrounding ourselves with other like-minded couples and friends.

If you are struggling in a particular area of your life and need some guidance, whether it be a relationship problem, a problem with a child, problems at work, needing self-help, or if you just need a life coach, I would highly recommend Shawn. He has helped through all of these things. I will describe how I see Shawn after I share a little bit of what brought me to see Shawn. I was married for 22 years and my marriage was crumbling. When I sought Shawn, I was having suicidal thoughts and I felt like I was living in a huge black hole with no way out. I was extremely shut down and depressed. I couldn’t make sense of what was going on around me and within me. I started out in marriage counseling with Shawn and it wasn’t too long after that that I started individual counseling. It took an enormous amount of patience on Shawn’s part to build the trust he knew he was going to need to get through to me and help me to the Freedom, Peace, and Joy I now have. He knew that it wasn’t just my marriage that was destroying me, but something much deeper than that. I thought I was tough, but I realized that I was actually a huge scaredy cat! I was very timid and a people pleaser, and did not know how to set boundaries. I had constant negative thoughts that played out in my head. I feared people, feared changes, and feared myself, feared who I really was. From as far back as I can remember, I felt “alone” and have had a hard time developing friendships. I was a Christian, but really didn’t know God, or His Love for me. Love was something I didn’t understand, and I certainly didn’t love myself. Shawn started helping me understand why I had so many cracks in my foundation, the core of who I was. He helped me understand my core belief system and why it was faulty. He helped me start seeing “reality” for what it really was and help guide me through the lies that I thought were actually “truth”. One by one, the core beliefs that kept me in a destructive pattern of life were broken off and I started gaining freedom and peace in my life. I went from being paralyzed and feeling like I had no control over my life, to being empowered to make decisions and changes in my life. There is now room for God to move in my life. I went from feeling worthless, having no self-esteem, and fearing people, to a 40-something college student who will graduate in May of 2016. Shawn, with help from Holy Spirit, was able to set me free from the darkness I have carried for many, many years. Shawn has an incredible gifting in counseling. He has a heart to help people reach their God given destiny and have tools to climb mountains. As I stated earlier, he is very patient. He doesn’t “give” you answers; he works with you and continues working with you until you see the answers for yourself. This gives you the power to “own” the answers which will help make lasting changes, changes that now give you a new core belief system to work out of which will stop the destructive cycles that have plagued your life. He seeks Holy Spirit for guidance on what path to take for each patient. Every one of us are unique and it will take an individualized plan catered just for you to help you through your situation. Shawn genuinely cares and wants to learn more about you and the journey you have been on. He is a funny guy and will bring humor and laughter back into your life. When I started seeing him, I didn’t know what laughter or even a smile was anymore. He loves life, his family, and most of all he loves God. He has a deep understanding of God’s word and loves spending time with the Lord. He is very passionate on the calling for his life to set the captives free.

Shawn’s counseling has been very productive in helping me realize limitations I have put on myself in personal relationships and my business. His biblical counseling has lightened my soul in dark times.

James Spears

My wife and I were referred to Shawn by enta friend. We were feeling like our relationship was lacking and we were feeling distant. Shawn really helped us to talked together and worship together. It really made our relationship stronger. Everyone could use a good tune up once in a while to remind them how much their relationship matters. Thanks for your help.

Matt Ford

Great counselor and great guy! Will help transform your life by connecting you to God and sharing the truth found in His word.

Jennifer

I am so grateful for Shawn and the guidance he has provided me and my son. I have recommended him to several of my friends. We first saw Shawn when my son (who is now 19 and a Sophomore in College) was going into the 6th grade. He was struggling with school and being bullied. My first experience with Shawn was "fix my son"!! Most of the sessions at that time were with my son, but I did meet with Shawn a few times one-on-one. After about a year or so, we stopped seeing Shawn. I thought that we had done enough and all was good. I remember Shawn calling me after our last appointment and he told me that my son would rebel. I dismissed it!! Looking back, I sure wish I hadn't!! As Shawn predicted, my son did rebel. Things got so bad when my son was a Junior in high school that I called Shawn needing help with my son. Shawn remembered us and graciously started meeting with me. With Shawn's help, he has walked with me as I started setting boundaries (something I had never done before) and made the decision to remove my son from our home. If you haven't guessed yet, I am a single mom and my son's father is not very involved in his life. My son went to live with his father for the remainder of his Junior year and then with his aunt for his Senior year. During this time, Shawn has walked with us and has helped guide us during this journey of restoring my relationship with my son. I give Shawn a lot of credit, which is greatly deserved, but ultimately the credit goes to God. Shawn happens to be the vessel that God has used in my life, as well as in my son's life. I'm happy to report that my relationship with my son is being restored. We still disagree and have issues, but we have learned and are still learning how to deal with those issues in a healthy and loving way! I am much better with boundaries (even though I still need work in that area), God has weeded out the unsafe relationships in my life and given me better, more safe and godly relationship instead, and I now see myself as "worthy" in God's eyes. Shawn is definitely being used by God to help families!! But you have to be willing to do the work. :)

Houston Green

Shawn has helped me overcome some big obstacles in my life. My overall quality of life has improved with Shawn's help and simply by listening to what God has to say to me which is something Shawn strongly encourages. I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone struggling with life and searching for a helping hand!

Jeff Click

Whether the help you seek is professional, spiritual, emotional, or relational, Shawn possesses a unique gift to provide highly contextual, practical advice on how to succeed through the challenges you face. He is personable, professional, and highly engaging.

Mike Branch

Shawn helped me deal with truth about myself, equipping me to begin to process of rebuilding relationships with my wife and children

Chris Webb

9 months ago my wife and I began our journey with Shawn. He has provided tools for us to communicate, develop and enforce boundaries and even confront the past which has burdened us for too long. He taught us how and whom to fight for our marriage to survive. I believe he sincerely cares for us. That caring is by no means passive and often looks like being pushed outside one's comfort zone. But it is that caring that gives us the confidence we can overcome our struggles. It is also that caring which Shawn gives entirely to God. There is so much I would like to say, but then this wouldn't be a review...more like a testimony. I can assure anyone contemplating visiting Shawn that those of his current clients who know each other all agree how better our circumstances seem once we understand how and whom to fight against...in my case alongside my wife. Thank you Shawn.

Damon Moran

Shawn is a great counselor who really helped my wife and me develop a much better marriage. I've referred friends and family members to him in the past, and they have all been very happy that they went to see him.

Kayla Siegman

I will forever be grateful for the role that Shawn played during a challenging season of our marriage. His approach begins and ends with the power of prayer. He will challenge, inspire, equip and lead you forward. Counseling is not a job for Shawn, it's a true gift and passionate calling on his life to help others by pointing to Jesus.

Clayton Love

Shawn Maguire is a true man of God that has blessed my life tremendously. He is refined by God’s light and through his trials. He is enheartened to the call to illuminate the hearts of those he encounters. Through his words and the friends he allowed me to relate, my life has completely changed. The light he has reflected and refracted has shown me the many colors of faith, hope, and love. The light of his wisdom has illuminated a new path for me to follow with God’s help and the fellowship of close friends. If one has the privilege to know him, then one knows the light of God. It’s in his eyes, and the fire of the Holy Spirit is in his heart. I hope he has the chance to bless you as well.

Dustin Leonard

Man. Where do I start. Shawn has always been there for me. Great counselor, amazing man of God. I wouldn't recommend anyone else other than him for godly and spiritual counseling. I'm proud to call him my friend and mentor now. Thanks for all you do Shawn.

Will Lightfoot

Sean is a gifted counselor who helped me through some of my life's toughest challenges. He listens well and provides wise and thoughtful feedback.

Debbie Clark

Shawn is an excellent counselor who really cares about his clients and truly wants whats best for them. He has been amazing in helping me overcome my struggles of fear of rejection and low self worth, so healing can begin. He has also been great at helping me in my Christian walk. I have been a Christian for several years but never really felt like I connected with God. Shawn has helped to bring me closer to God and to also see who I am in Christ. I fully trust Shawn and am 100% confident in him. I will never be able to thank him enough for all he has and is doing for me.

Ashlee Day

Shawn uses a different approach than I do in my Counseling practice and I genuinely believe he offers something great! For anyone seeking faith to be intertwined into their personal growth process, I recommend him!

Christy Meadors

Our family has been using Shawn Maguire for several years now for different issues in our lives. He is an amazing faith based counselor that takes the time to really get to know you and how best to help your situation. We have referred several of our friends to Shawn as well. I would highly recommend him.

Steve Mielke

Shawn is an absolutely amazing counselor, he has such a passion for people. He takes the time to listen and then challenges you with truth. This man has forever changed my life and I am so grateful for all that he has done to better our family. Thank you Shawn for all that you do for so many people.

Cathy Greer

I was in my late 30's and Shawn was the first counselor I had ever been to. He was very professional and gave me weekly guidance on how to handle the situation I found myself in. He not only counseled me out of a dreadful situation but he helped me discover the path that led me to that place in my life. I tear up as write this because every Tuesday at 1:45pm I would dread making that trip to his office. But, every Tuesday at 3:15pm I found myself filled with hope and a sense of accomplishment in knowing I was making progress. Shawn helped me see the choices I had made and was continuing to make in my life that was detrimental to my personal growth. My experience with him was life-changing. In my circle of friends, I simply refer to "Shawn", and everyone knows who I am talking about. That is how often I repeated his words of guidance to those around me....and still do.

Joan Ackley

Shawn is excellent. Just the best.

Tyler Glaze

Shawn is a salt of the earth kind of guy. He and his team are the best in the business. I have never met people with such passion for what they do.

Randal Clark

Shawn has helped my wife and I through a very difficult time in our marriage caused by several long standing and personal issues. Shawn is a Christian and bases all of his counseling on biblical principles. He is very direct about what needs to be done and he holds you to it. This produces rapid results. He also seems to know just what to say to put you at ease or to light a fire under you. He creates a zone of trust so you feel comfortable in sharing the real raw truth with him and your spouse. Shawn is s great counselor.

Rick Agee

Shawn’s very first words to us upon hearing our story back in Session 1 depressingly reiterated what we both already felt- “Your Marriage is Over.” Then, Shawn rephrased to say, “Your marriage as it stands right now is officially over.” He immediately began giving us guidance, providing tools, outside resources, and even his own personal contacts that stretched and grew us first individually and then as a couple. His methods do not simply patch a bad marriage to see you onto the next dramatic bust in his office. You will learn to destroy the old marriage, and rebuild a new one the way it was always meant to be.... the way God intended it to be! We both look back now and can’t even recognize the people we were … and it is because we’re not!

Luke Yinger

Shawn is the man! His advice and guidance is rock solid. He helped me think through several major decisions and his unique perspective was fantastic. Thank you Shawn! Keep up the great work.

Brandy Anderson

My husband & I started counseling to help with our daughter. Before she had a rough time with anxiety and her temper. She had no idea how to deal with discipline or change, with Shawns help we have been able to direct our daughter in a more respectful God centered relationship.She shows kindness, respect, remorse for wrong doing & enjoys praying with us. Love how my daughter is showing her love for God and others now.

Erin Keller

Shawn is an amazing counselor who has continued to speak TRUTH into our lives over the years! He has a passion for truly listening and helping!

Johnathan Prince

Shawn is a great therapist! Working with him Is something he makes easy to do, because he comes across with non-judgment and acceptance. I found him to be not only a great mentor, but someone who gets the struggles of being a therapist. He reminds me of who I was called to be as a Christian and a therapist, Can you help me navigate in that path.. Thank you Shawn for being a part of the healing community and someone I consider a friend in Christ!

Kevon Owen

Shawn Maguire is the therapist that other therapist refer to. His years of effective therapy and reputation are next to none. His reputation in marital therapy amongst colleagues is the tops. What I can say about Shawn comes from a different perspective, in that I had the opportunity to work with Shawn and know the character of the man aside from therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly cares for his clients and prayerfully approaches therapy, that’s Shawn. If you’re looking for a therapist who is relatable and approachable, that’s Shawn. He’s both a skilled clinician and a genuine person, which is more rare than you’d think. You cannot go wrong with Shawn Maguire.

Darren Risley

Best ears and mind in the business. Gives great advise and tips and commits you to better yourself. Great Christian man and counselor!

Emily Wren

My husband and I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with Shawn for the past 3 months and have begun to experience true transformation both individually and in our relationship. I came into his office feeling completely hopeless, without any direction or game plan for my life or for my marriage. Now, not only am I hopeful for my future, but am also empowered, encouraged, and excited to begin a new life for myself and with my husband. We are so thankful for Shawn, and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to experience true freedom through the transforming power of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Angie Webb

Shawn was such a life saver in our marriage! He has a gift of identifying root issues when we tend to get caught up in the side effects of those issues. He has a sincere love for people that shows!

Hutch Hibbard

I meet Shawn in April of 2015. He has been such an encouragement to me in several areas in my life. He has helped me with learning how to set boundaries in my life & in relationships. He has also giving me a better picture of Gods grace & how God sees me. I am learning that my identity is routed in Christ. I recommend Shawn to anyone who just needs to get some things off there chest.

Ryan Frace

Shawn Maguire is a powerful resource to any seeking to uncover the root causes of why our minds continue to feed us lies. If you are willing to open your heart and mind, then Shawn through his God given gifts will be a blessing in your life.

Anne Lambeth

Working with Shawn was an extremely unique experience. He amazed me with his incredible insight and genuine, God-centered encouragement. Shawn is full of energy and enthusiasm, truth and non-judgemental guidance. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was that I think I felt intimidated by his big personality and confidence, which was in stark contrast to how I felt about myself at the time. That being said, I learned a lot about navigating those feelings about myself and interfacing with those around me with Shawn’s help. He is truly inspiring and a gifted counselor.

Helen GoesToSchool

Shawn did an amazing job helping our family, leading us with biblically sound counsel.

Kyle Carter

Shawn is great he has helped me and wife for years now. We love him. I highly recommend Shawn.

Kayt Johnson

My experience with Shawn was unexpected - to say the least. I am a free bird when it comes to ways I can experience healing ... Shawn tapped into that right away. He allowed his (and my own) creativity to flow in ways most therapists may not be open to. He allowed Spirit to do his thing, yet gently guide me to be fully open to the healing powers of the mind. Shawn, thank you. Thank you for all that you did. My heart and mind will never be the same. Xo, Kaytlyn

Jeremy Tanner

The first time I talked with Shawn it was like talking to someone I had known all my life. He is genuine and has a heart for hurting people. You can tell counseling is his calling and he uses it as a ministry to glorify Christ. He will listen and push you to do more than you thought you were capable of doing. Shawn has made a difference in my life and I am now grateful to call him my friend.

Rana Lane

If you are ready and willing to make changes, dig deep, and watch God move in your life as He transforms your heart and mind, this is the place! Shawn Maguire uses a Biblical approach to counseling and invites you to "get real" in the struggle of any issue you may face by looking into the truth of God's Word about your situation and facilitating healing through the work of the Holy Spirit as you commit and delve into the journey toward freedom!

Cooper Sadowsky

Counseling with Shawn Maguire changed my life in the best way. Every good thing in my life has come through Shawn in some way. God rescued me and saved my life through counseling. The entire trajectory of my life has changed because of God and Shawn Maguire, and I do not have words to express my gratitude for these changes. Shawn challenged me in the ways that I need challenged, and I learned that I was much braver than I thought. I definitely recommend going to counseling!!!!

Marnie Szabina

Shawn is a gifted counselor allowing the Holy Spirit to work through him speaking truth with love. He helped me understand that nothing will resolve itself unless you have a personal and authentic relationship with God.

Reagan Hemry

Shawn did our pre-marital counseling and did an exceptional job. He made it fun with little activities and homework assignments for us to do at home. But it was also deep, meaningful and centered around the Lord. We talked about so many things that don’t always come up in a normal conversation with your fiancé that are so important to talk about before marriage! I would recommend him to anyone!

Tamara Webb

Shawn is truly gifted at what he does! His wise counsel has been instrumental in my life and so many people that I am close to. If you are looking for someone who will shoot straight and lead you in wisdom and truth Shawn is the real deal!

Shaley Thomas

Shawn has been such a blessing to me through difficult chapters, and I look forward to leaning on his expertise again during this new chapter. He didn’t stop at the surface and truly invested time in to uncovering the underlying issues at hand, and provided advice I could use in every day struggles. I’m so thankful for his Christian values and sincere passion in counseling others.

Matthew Patrick

Shawn was really great in helping me out! He did a great job!

Ashlea Peacock

Shawn is a teller of the TRUTH. God's truth. He helps you remember who you were created to be and how to get there.

S Szabina

Shawn provided me with who I am through Christ which gave me a true foundation to build up on. Loves people to tell them the truth and not what you want to hear. The best part is you will walk away with life long friend and brother who never stops caring. He is the Best. Thank You Shawn

Virginia Forbes

Shawn is a very gifted counselor. Don't expect to be handed all the answers to your problems. He will guide you and make you think and give you homework. You have to take things seriously and own your progress. No one can decide to make you better except you. It will take time and effort on your part, but if you are serious about facing reality and making the changes necessary to turn your life around, Shawn is the person that can get you there. The process may even be emotionally difficult and painful, but the freedom you have on the other side is worth it. Shawn cares for those that entrust themselves to him and lets God lead him in working through your issues. I know others that have also been helped by Shawn and have seen incredible results, I would go so far as to even use the word miracle because of such drastic changes that I've seen take place. God can use Shawn to help you see truth about your circustances that you just can't see through your filters and help you change your life for the better.

Lezli Shire

My husband, Todd and I met Shawn Maguire in 2012, with our marriage crumbling in around us. He counseled us with love, truth, and brutal honesty. He spoke sound biblical truths into our lives and showed us what grace truly is. He taught us how to apply boundaries in many areas of our lives and to instill new rituals into our marriage. We will forever be grateful to Shawn for allowing God to work through him to restore our marriage. We have recommended him to several people and wish every married couple could spend a few counseling sessions with Shawn!

Heather Bayless

Originally, I had gone to a secular counselor that I found on a provider list through my insurance. I did not get the help I needed and was feeling hopeless. I was having lunch at the mall with a friend one weekend, talking about my experience and how I was in real need of a good counselor. A lady at the restaurant overheard our conversation and apologized for eavesdropping, but recommended Shawn to me. It was a total God-send. He helped me through a difficult time in my life and helped me to see my worth as a woman and as a precious child of God. I truly appreciated his honesty and his persistence in getting me to listen to the truth. He's not going to tell you what you want to hear all the time, but he will certainly tell you what you NEED to hear! It's up to you to listen and believe it. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of counseling. You will walk away a new person, with a renewed sense of hope. I know I did.

Judy Hooten

The time I spent with Shawn changed the course of my life. It’s been over a year since I’ve been in to see him but his advice and perspective still comes to mind when I need to make a decision. Of the six or so counselors I’ve been to over the years, none helped me to grow like Shawn has. I highly recommend Shawn anytime a friend mentions counseling.

Amber Jones

Shawn will walk you through your journey to a better you and life, with hard truths, a little grace, and a lot of Jesus! It’s not just sitting for an hour talking about your issues. Shawn gives you tools to use every day and really will be the best coach you’ve had, if you’re willing to do the hard work. The best investment is investing in yourself, and Shawn will get you to your best self.

M Pertree

I’m the type that really dislikes sharing my personally life with many people. I was dreading finding a marriage counselor mainly for that reason. I looked online for a Christian counselor and Shawn’s office just stuck out to me. He wasn’t our normal type ( we usually went to females) but our normals didn’t seem to connect with both of us. In the past, we would leave counseling and only one of us got anything from it. That is not the case with Shawn. He’s able to connect with both my husband and myself. Our marriage is better than it’s been , maybe ever. He’s taught us so much on boundaries with family, how to talk through arguments and how to be better parents. He prays over us in the office and I know we are in his prayers throughout the week. Think your marriage is hopeless? I did, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and made myself call for an appointment. If you use the tools Shawn gives you, your marriage will change.
