I know that starting counseling is a major decision and you may have many questions. The purpose of this introduction is to inform you about what you can expect from counseling and to give you the opportunity to give consent to proceed with the counseling process.
My name is Sharon Adams.
- I have a master's degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
- I am licensed by the State of Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
- I am trained and have extensive experience in CBT, ACT, and DBT. These modalities have been shown to be particularly helpful at treating a wide variety of diagnoses.
- My area of special interest is in the utilization of EMDR for treating trauma related issues. I am a Level 2 EMDR therapist and a full member of EMDRIA.
- I help people meet their goals by examining the connection between how they think, feel (emotionally and physically), behave, and interact with their surroundings.
- I facilitate growth and change in my clients by teaching mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; and utilizing ACT & EMDR when indicated. I believe these are the skills that help people move forward.
- I provide counseling to individuals & couples.
