Hello, I'm Dr. Sharen M. Pierre Waters, LCSW. I'm a Mental Health & EMDR Therapist, having achieved a PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’ve served clients in South Central Indiana for 20+ years, providing mental health and hospice care. The joy of my work as a therapist is to walk gently beside my clients toward wellness and growth: (1) to inspire hope that change is possible, (2) to guide clients to the truth that we are worth the effort to rise, and (3) to share education - or light - to enable change to happen. My effectiveness is widely respected, as is my warmth and compassion.

Do you struggle with dealing with past trauma? Do you feel lost after the loss of a loved one? Do you feel like depression has taken over your life? I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and have completed Phase One and Phase Two of Brainspotting training. I have over 4 years of experience working with clients going through a number of life’s challenges. My emphasis in therapy is always ensuring that clients feel safe and comfortable in the therapeutic setting and, most importantly, feel comfortable in sharing their experiences with me.

Have you experienced something traumatic in your life? Are you struggling with addiction or on the road to recovery? Do you feel depressed or anxious?

It is my honor to be the support person you need during your therapy journey! I believe it is critical for you to know that you are safe with me and that as we navigate through whatever challenges you are facing, I will be at your side to support you. My style of therapy is warm, curious, empathetic, and direct.

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.

I have been working with people who are struggling with a variety of mental health concerns for over 20 years. I enjoy working with my clients to identify the best course for them to achieve and maintain day to day success.

Have you felt stuck for years, like your foot sinking deeper into a muddy river, making it increasingly difficult to find your way? Life can leave us feeling the same way. The more reactive we become, fighting stress and painful emotions, the harder it is to see clearly through the mud, and we lose sight of who we are.A lack of clarity about yourself can lead to suffering. For years, you may have measured your self-worth through the eyes of others, longing to live in your truth and not someone else's version of who they think you should be.Trauma, dysfunctional families, unmet needs, and chronic anxiety can all muddy the water.
