I consider it my life's work to help heal broken hearts. I am a counselor licensed in North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky with over 15 years of experience working as a Cognitive Behavioral Counselor and Life Coach helping those that are hurting to heal. I have worked with clients from all walks of life (including veterans) with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, anger management and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced emotional, relational and intimate relationship trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is relationship centered, warm and interactive. The process of counseling is truly about gaining or regaining hope, healing and growth. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will assist you to tailor our dialog and to develop goals and a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to heal and having a relationship with someone you trust has proven to be effective when seeking a more fulfilling and happier life. So as you take the first steps towards a change, if you are ready to take that step and willing to do your work, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I have been practicing in the field of mental health since past 15 years. My personal experience with counseling was that there was a safe and non judgmental space, where someone was ethically and empathically devoted towards helping me find peace from chaos, find answers from the turmoil, and finally feel connected to my own self as a person. My primary modality in therapy sessions involves integrated approach, where in I incorporate Person Centered therapy modality to establish an empathetic, non-judgmental, genuinely caring and therapeutic environment where a person can feel safe, comfortable and supported to open up about their qualms and concerns. The other intervention modalities involve Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapies which facilitate the discussion and solution focused phase in the therapy session. My ideal client is anyone who is struggling with daily life stressors, trying to manage symptoms of clinical/non-clinical depression, and anxiety symptoms, sleep issues, PTSD symptoms, Grief, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Generational Trauma challenges, adjustment issues, struggling in academics, career and relationships. Parenting issues. I also specialize in women mental health, and in supporting Perinatal/PostPartum phase women. Overall my goal is to provide a safe space of therapy which provides support not just for the severe mental health, lifestyle and daily life issues and concerns, but also acts as a space for self care !

Hello! My name is Sharon Clark and I have 20+ years as a therapist. Therapy is a second career for me, so I have the benefit of offering some helpful information about navigating the "real world," and hopefully, you'll learn my experience is not straight out of the textbooks! Over the past years, I have worked with a very diverse population that struggle with unique perspectives on therapy and how it works. I have also worked as a substance abuse counselor if that is area you want to get help with. I can interact with you in whatever manner you choose, but video conferencing is my personal preference as it gives you the opportunity to get to know me and vice versa. I can be flexible to help accommodate your work schedule, school, doctor's appointments etc.
