Sharon Nielsen, LPCC
About me
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, helping them build resilience and find their way forward.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I specialize in supporting clients with trauma recovery, communication difficulties, isolation, grief from loss and separation, attachment challenges, and mood-related concerns. I also work with individuals exploring questions of purpose, forgiveness, and self-love, as well as those facing workplace stress, family dynamics, and life transitions.
I'm particularly committed to supporting older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, military veterans, and those with faith-centered perspectives. I recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and I honor the values and beliefs that matter most to you.
Whether you're working through past pain, navigating relationship challenges, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking greater clarity about your life direction, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support your healing journey.

I’ve been putting this off for years. Just had my first session, and looking forward to my next. So for anyone that is nervous or afraid to talk to someone, don’t be. Sharon is wonderful and this was a huge step in the right direction for me.

Sharon listens and is intentional about finding new ways for me to communicate effectively.
