Sharon,
Very respectful, very honest, not judgmental, and very helpful. I truly appreciate her and all of her amazing hard work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mrs Gusmus is very kind and understanding when talking to me and gives great advice when my thoughts are scrambled. She checks in on me to make sure I am doing okay. She has helped so much with my anxiety and executive dysfunction!

Working with Sharon has been great! She offers a variety of ways to connect - I prefer phone sessions so I can move and take walks. She is supportive and helps to reassure me when I feel lost. Highly recommend!

Sharon is incredible. She has helped me start my path to healing in the most helpful and straightforward way. She is more insightful than any other therapist I've seen over my years and has given me the tools I need to move forward with my life. I highly recommend her.

Sharon is great and doesn't push on areas I may not be fully ready to dive deep into and all of our conversations have been wonderful.

I love having Sharon as my counselor. She listens and comes up with useful strategies to address the issue I’m currently addressing. . Good solid advise while being sensitive.
