    Operating in a relationship with oneself, is the foundation for all relationships.  Therapy is a natural, healthy, and important opportunity for individuals to build a healthy relationship with themselves.

    Therapy

    Anxiety and Depression

    For many, faith can be a place of comfort, but for some, faith can be a place of trauma and pain.  For that reason, staying connected to individuals in your faith can cause trauma, anxiety, and depression leading to a loss in your relationship with your faith and self.  As your therapist, Sharlene will utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist individuals in gaining healthy tools to build a foundation of safety, trust and love.

    Trauma & Fear

    Trauma and fear can cause a disconnection in a relationship with oneself.  Therefore, forcing individuals to go outside themselves and sometimes dishonor themselves.  Sharlene believes that fear, anxiety, and trauma are a few emotions that can shift an individual's identity and belief in themselves.  Believing in the power of each individual, Sharlene assist individuals in building safe and non-judgmental relationships with themselves.

    Relationships

    Relationships are a huge part of who we are, and a huge source of injuries that can result in a disconnection from the most important relationship, you.  When injuries occur individuals can feel lost and alone.  Therapy can be a key to unlocking individuals as they seek to strengthen their relationship with self and others through building respect, love, and forgiveness.

    How does therapy work?

    Therapy is an opportunity for you to establish a safe and trusted place to share if you are experiencing postpartum, co-occurring, trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders.  Becoming your authentic self is the first step to identifying and speaking your truth as you receive support.

    How long does therapy takes?

    Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place. 

    My partner and I are having problems. Should we seek therapy together or separate?

     If you are concerned about your relationship, it is best that both of you would attend therapy together, I would initially work with both of you together. After this work, if one of you would like to continue in individual sessions, I would look to work with only one of you. It is not helpful to move from individual into couple’s work with the same therapist because of potential trust issues.
