Sharron Lewis
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Louisiana. I received my Master of Social Work at the University of Washington in Seattle in 2001. I worked for the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Seattle in inpatient psychiatry for two years before returning to my home state of Louisiana to be near family. Since 2003, I have worked in Child Welfare, Community Mental Health, and private hospital. For the last 13 years, I've been the Clinical Director for an Intensive Outpatient Program, providing group and individual psychotherapy. My therapy style draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion Therapy. I tend to center around body-mind based therapies which utilize healing the brain to heal the mind and increasing body awareness. My clients tend to describe me as safe and warm. We will work together to clarify your goals for therapy and to develop an individualized plan of care. My passion is to see individuals grow and heal. I'm excited about being a part of your healing journey. There are many life issues that cause us pain and it is a brave step to begin counseling. Ready to begin!

Robert Ward
Oh, hey there! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Robb and I have 20 years of helping people transform into their best selves. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. However, I do have a 10/3 rule: I give you 10 minutes after the session starts (unless you message me in advance that you will be late) and then I will have to consider this a missed session and after 3 missed appointments in a row, I will no longer be able to work with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. My approach is informed by my faith in Jesus and that Christ is the healer. For more on my understanding of this, please refer to this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2u_1H9ZN3AE My main area of focus and interest is in identity (knowing and loving who you truly are). Although I was trained in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (a form of CBT), I have found that our pain is a spiritual one and therefore requires a spiritual answer. I also help people in finding their true identity (who you are, not what you do). It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
