What We Specialize In
Mental Health Counseling
Mental Health Counseling provides a safe space for individuals to explore and understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Our counseling approach is client-centered and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. We collaborate with clients to identify their goals and work together to achieve them, offering guidance, support, and tools to foster emotional growth and resilience.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, evidence-based intervention designed to address and transform negative thought patterns, behaviors, and emotions. It empowers individuals to recognize and challenge dysfunctional beliefs and offers practical strategies to enact positive change. CBT is especially effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, and other common mental health challenges.
EMDR
EMDR is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach aimed at alleviating the distress associated with traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements and other bilateral stimulation, EMDR enables individuals to process traumatic experiences in a new light, freeing them from the emotional burdens they carry. EMDR is particularly effective for individuals with PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.
Couples Counseling
Reignite your relationship with our Couples Counseling service. Guided by Sharon's expertise, we navigate the complexities that can derail a relationship. Through thoughtful conversations and proven strategies, we aim to guide you toward a more harmonious future. Ideal for couples at any stage, this service enhances communication and deepens emotional bonds.
Motivation interviewing/ substance
Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic technique primarily used for addressing substance abuse and mental health conditions. By adopting a client-centered approach, the method encourages individuals to explore and articulate their own reasons for change. Through guided conversations and open-ended questions, we help clients build self-awareness, motivation, and confidence.
