Sharon is the sweetest! My absolute best experiences with therapy were with her. I haven’t been able to continue with counseling due to finances, but if you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t hesitate. She’ll pray with you, encourage you, make you laugh, and laugh at your jokes. I enjoyed how she always came across as a Sister in Christ and shared her own backstory as well. It was such a blessing and we made so much progress in the time I worked with Sharon.

Working with Sharon has been the 2020 blessing that I've needed, in order to begin healing and establishing the foundation to being the best me [for me]!! Sharon's listening ear and guidance have been an asset for me!! Our counseling sessions and the homework assignments have pushed me out of my comfort zone and they are making me properly address areas in my life that need work!! I definitely recommend Sharon as a counselor and fellow sister in Christ!!

Sharon has been extremely helpful in helping me identify my anxieties and stressors and find the tools to manage them. She is personal, interactive, insightful, and open during our sessions. Her experience and expertise are clear in our conversations and I find myself looking forward to our sessions every week. She is encouraging and supportive but also firm when needed - I have gained more from our sessions than with any other therapist I have seen.

I was in a really dark place before I contacted Sharon. I hated my life to put it simply. She helped encourage me to see a psychiatrist and get the help I need. I got on medication and she taught me ways to help cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Its not all sunshine and rainbows now, it won't be for you either more than likely, because no matter what life will always throw stress your way, but she taught me how to cope with it and not let it consume me. And im not depressed anymore, and I dont hate my life anymore, and I finally am starting to believe everything is going to be okay for me.

I was a little hesitant about Ms. Calhoun initially and me attending counseling altogether. Despite my reservations I’m glad I have her and counseling the opportunity to help me. We’ve only had 2 sessions and a big breakthrough has occurred. I’m thankful for her expertise but more importantly her empathy and compassion. I felt very comfortable and was able to be transparent. I believe she is a blessing to my life and I’m so thankful. She’s God fearing and very easy to talk to. I’m so glad I’m so fortunate.
