Hello! I am a person-centered therapist who is committed to helping people feel empowered about their relationships, their choices, and the deep inner relationships they have with themselves. My work focuses on targeting old and tired beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you in your present environment, and reframing your vision of who you want to be now. I believe in taking a collaborative, warm approach to working together in reaching client goals. I'm very passionate about learning about the uniqueness of others, what has lead them to where they are, and turning pains and downfalls into skills that will help clients to grow

Walking into therapy is the first step to “Doing the Work”, healing and starting a new chapter isn’t easy, but it leads to a journey that is full of new choices and opportunities. My goal is to create a safe environment and allow clients to be free to express their issues and concerns without judgment. I am passionate about helping others draw from their strengths and natural pain if necessary to allow them to thrive. I want to help clients gain the skills and knowledge to create positive changes and walk in their purpose. I am devoted to helping clients find their balance by drawing from a variety of modalities.

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies that once protected us are causing us even more pain. Together we can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck in order for you to move into the wholeness you desire. Many times when healing feels impossible, it is only an indication that what we have tried so far will not suffice. Often this requires slowing down and trusting parts of ourselves that we have long ignored.

You have found the person you can trust with your issues! At A Brighter Day Counseling we thrive on the following four core principles: 1: We Care: We provide a non judgmental and safe environment to discover and express what you are feeling. 2: We Affirm: We empathize with your perspective and help you to feel heard then healed. 3: We Hope: We inspire you to believe that there is a brighter day. 4: We Empower: We equip you with tools that support you on your journey to a brighter day!

Everyone else thinks you've got it all together. Inside, though, you feel like you have to fill a role to fit in your own life. You have to be perfect, maybe rehearse what you'll say ahead of time, and then tell yourself that no one cares about you since they can't get close enough to know the real you. You know how to appear confident but deep inside, there is this voice telling you that no one sees you. You crave the feelings of safety and acceptance. You want to feel connected to the people you love. Instead, you feel desperate to maintain control and feel stuck in painful relationships.

Compassion. Understanding. Growth! Whether you're coping with stress individually or struggling with challenges in a close relationship, I promise I will provide an open heart and a welcoming, safe place for you to hear yourself think out loud, a place where you can work through difficult decisions, and a space to share your emotional life with someone that cares.

Sharon R Peterson, LCSW: Making the decision to begin therapy is not an easy one. It can be one of the best decisions you can make to empower yourself & move beyond unresolved issues or to help find the right path to take to improve your life or to recover. Psychotherapy is a collaborative approach between a therapist and client. At Psychotherapy Services of Atlanta, we will help you learn more about your condition, your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Which, in turn, will help you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

My professional mission revolves around equipping individuals and families with valuable coping strategies, addressing attachment issues, and fostering emotional regulation. My clientele encompasses a diverse range, from the resilient young ones aged 7 and above, to teenagers and adults. I've dedicated my expertise to specializing in areas such as anxiety, depression, social skills, emotional regulation, and women's issues.

Have you been struggling with being overwhelmed with childhood trauma, or narcissistic abuse from a partner or family member? I am an EMDR therapist who has helped clients heal from their wounds of abuse. I have also helped clients ease the pain by lessening the stress on the body from Endometriosis and Fibromyalgia. EMDR does not heal the medical conditions but can help reduce the pain.

Is life scary sometimes? Is it hard for you to have the confidence to tackle the big things in life? Do you sometimes notice a younger part of yourself that needs comfort? I help those of you who suffer from unresolved traumas both big and small. I pull from my experiences of mother, grandmother, wife, widow, sister, daughter. Together we can explore the different parts of self and how our roles and relationships affect us.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s incredible that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational cycles” and work on their mental health so that they can pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others.
