"I provide a safe, caring, supportive, and non-judgmental atmosphere for my clients. I believe every individual is unique and has their own inner wisdom and strength that can be built upon in our sessions. I am passionate about helping people find more balance, joy and fulfillment in their lives by focusing on their personal goals and utilizing a highly individualized and direct approach. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults with a variety of needs and issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, stress, anger, self-esteem issues, communication skills, divorce/separation, and parenting."

"Therapy looks different for different people. I believe that the most effective form of therapy is one where the therapist and the client can have a collaborative, authentic relationship. I work from a holistic, integral model of therapy. I incorporate a psychoeducational approach into my practice, offering an individualized collection of resources and interventions. I am passionate about facilitating client insight and well-being. I believe it is my privilege to be welcomed into your world and to become a partner in your healing."

"Did you know only 10% to 20% of marriages get better with traditional marriage counseling? Did you know that other studies show a 98% success rate? Do you know what you can do to be in the 98% group? Do you know why men often have to be dragged in by their ear, and what you can do about it? Did you know that relationships can improve even if only one person is doing the work, and that quite often it is better to work separately? Did you know that poor communication is a symptom, not the cause of marital stress?"

"Are you or your child experiencing chronic stress and anxiety due to work, school, or family issues? Common symptoms include moodiness, irritability, agitation, depression, racing or worried thoughts, attentional difficulties, panic attacks, sleep disturbances, social withdrawal, weight gain or loss, physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, or back pain, abuse of alcohol or marijuana, or other addictive or acting out behaviors. With over 20 years experience, I help children, adults, and couples more effectively manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors."

"Sometimes our lives can just be overwhelming. Are you struggling with a more recent change or stressful situation? Relationship, work, parenting, divorce, job/school or overall imbalance in your life? For some, there are long term factors that can be obstacles to relationship, employment and success in our lives. Depression, anxiety, addiction, weight and body issues, often only worsen. Getting support, new perspective and tools to deal with challenges can be life changing and a key for long term emotional wellness."

"Life has a way of throwing us off balance. We can be moving right along without any issues, then suddenly what used to be working is no longer effective. This can be a short term or long term situation. Adjusting to change is challenging. Trying something different is easier when there is someone coming along with you. I strive to be that non-judgemental and compassionate companion that will provide you the encouragement and feedback to make your efforts for change count!"

"As a developmental psychologist and depth counselor, I am best suited to working with people experiencing the trials and tribulations that accompany the major passages experienced throughout life. I am a warm and experienced counselor who works with people representing all ages and social identities. I work with individuals, couples and families, and have much experience working with addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, grief and forgiveness."

"I believe that obstacles in the journey of life are opportunities for learning and growth. In my work with clients, my goal is to help facilitate that process of self discovery and understanding in order to promote healing and change. Often times, many of the challenges we face can be relational, and it is through understanding and communication that we can begin to  foster growth within the relationship. I hope to help guide that process so that the relationship may not only succeed, but thrive. Whether working with a couple, family or individual, I take a client centered approach through active listening, curiosity and solution-focused insight that is tailored to help each client safely and authentically explore their world, build resilience, and adapt to life’s challenges."

"Are you emotionally exhausted, stressed & unable to recognize yourself? Is it a struggle communicating with loved ones? Ordinary tasks feel burdensome and you're too tired to do anything. If any of these even partially describe your situation it's important to recognize that you aren't alone.... it doesn't have to stay this way. Often the most trying and somber moments in our lives drive us to a journey of self-discovery. As your therapist it will be my goal to provide support and empower you, as you move beyond that pain. Genuine health and happiness are within grasp."

"I work with highly sensitive persons (HSPs) and introverts in the trans* and LGBQ+ communities to make your relationships better, manage illness and stress, tame emotions, and stop anxiety and trauma symptoms from disrupting your life."

"My goal is to facilitate the process of innate healing and self-discovery for individuals and families seeking to improve their overall quality of life. I am a firm believer that obstacles may be turned into opportunities. Through both curious questioning and active listening, together we may illuminate your strengths and opportunity areas of growth. My objective is that after our first session, you will feel that we have a pathway for a desired solution. I have worked with ages ranging from 5 to 85 years young. I treat each individual, couple, or family with respect and warmth. "

"As an expert in mindfulness and meditation, I work with adults and teens to effectively manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I am also skilled in working with at-risk youth who struggle with substance use, conduct disorder, and academic challenges. With over 10 years experience and a doctoral degree in Clinical Forensic Psychology, I am well equipped to help you work through past or present trauma, manage a crisis, or cope with strong emotions. I provide a safe, compassionate, and caring environment to help you heal, and to develop new tools and skills."

"Authentic change happens from the inside out. It can't be veneered onto one's surface. Painful life experiences create a complex web inside that shapes a person's world. This web can limit one's ability to find joy and meaning in life. Psychotherapy offers a way to access deep emotional experience. As therapy proceeds connections will start to appear between past & current life experience. Problematic internal patterns will become visible and open to reevaluation and change. As internal stress decreases, clarity, joy and meaning will have the chance to emerge."

"I believe that relationships in our lives play a key role in our overall well-being. At times, those relationships can become more challenging than we intended. If you are a parent seeking support in your relationship with a child or seeking to support your child in their relationships at school; an individual seeking to change your behavior in a romantic relationship or other familial relationship; or an individual seeking to improve work relationships, learning key skills to navigate these relationships can lead to a happier self."

"I am a Cognitive Psychologist with over 15 years of licensed experience with adults, adolescents, and couples. My areas of emphasis are depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, existential issues, career issues, elderly issues, addiction, codependency, and family reunification. I work gently with my clients and the first session is an intake session where I gather information about you. The next sessions you guide where you want to go in treatment. I work both long term and short term from a Cognitive perspective. More more information see my website www.jennifersharples.com"

"You are the expert of your life! Utilizing an "eclectic" approach, I will draw from an array of psychological orientations to help you recognize and move past obstacles standing between you and your contentment; which will enable you to experience more fulfilling relationships. I'm a "compassionate soul" with great listening skills, although my style is "active" and I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral tools and techniques to help you challenge your thinking, reduce your anxiety, and to encourage you to take advantage of the full spectrum of thinking and being."

"I believe in the innate worth of all people. I am honored to regularly witness my clients strength and resilience in response to life's difficult seasons. By trusting in the therapeutic relationship, creating space for open communication and helping each voice to be heard, I partner with my clients to promote healing, hope and a return to the joy of living a fulfilling and connected life. I serve clients with a wide range of needs, including: Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Confidence Challenges, Parenting concerns, Work stress, Work/life balance, Sexuality, Faith congruence, Well-Aging and Life transitions."

"We all go through difficult times and can feel overwhelmed. I believe therapy is a powerful tool to help you through those difficult times and create lasting changes. The connection you feel with your therapist in one of the most important indicators to successful outcomes. With this in mind I strive to provide a safe, honest, and supportive environment allowing you to explore some of the most difficult times in your life. I build a collaborative, authentic relationship so that we can address your struggles and reach your therapy goals together. "

"Making the decision to come to therapy can be difficult, and I understand that sometimes it takes a moment for your mind and your heart to catch up with each other. With this in mind, I work alongside clients to help them find their strengths, mine for resources they may not realize they have, and carve out measurable and attainable goals within their timeline and with their cooperation. I enjoy working compassionately alongside individuals with anxiety and depression. I believe we treat entire individuals, emotionally and spiritually, and therefore am adept and comfortable at counseling spiritual issues."
