Sharon is a clinical mental health counselor. She is a licensed professional counselor. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta, GA. Sharon has experience working with adults in a variety of areas, including anxiety and depression. She has also counseled pre-marital couples preparing for marriage as well as married couples facing relational issues. Sharon has worked closely with adolescents and adults in recovery from eating disorders and co-facilitated various eating disorder groups. Sharon’s education has equipped her with experience that aids in integrating faith in counseling while respecting the beliefs of her clients. Sharon embraces authenticity. She enjoys seeing others experience the freedom that comes from inner healing while establishing a safe environment where her clients can feel comfortable to share. Sharon desires to help others connect with their true, authentic voice. Sharon also specializes in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This is unique in that the Therapist guides the client to replace the negative images in the mind that cause the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress with positive images of the client’s choosing. This is done quickly, in one session! ART combines the power of eye movements to allow voluntary changes in the client’s mind with well-established therapies like Gestalt, Psychodynamic Therapy and Guided Imagery. With these therapies, combined with ART’s eye movements and other ART enhancements, many mental health problems other than Post Traumatic Stress can also be resolved quickly. Among the things ART can deal with are OCD, Eating Disorders, Substance Use, Generalized Anxiety and Generalized Depressive Disorders. One of the special aspects of ART is that when clients replace their negative images with positive ones they don’t need to talk to the therapist about any details of the trauma.
