Our compassionate and skilled therapists are here to help you process your past, make the most of the present, and create a brighter future.
We take an integrative and personalized approach to healing, utilizing EMDR, IFS, Polyvagal Theory, and Psychodynamic Therapy. We specialize in a range of areas including trauma, anxiety, eating disorder recovery, panic attacks, and relationship issues. Whatever challenges and changes you’re going through, we’re here for you every step of the way.
We actively engage in the therapeutic process and use a warm and empathetic style. Using experiential therapies, we will guide you through a transformative experience. We will also equip you with the tools needed to maintain your treatment gains. Our background allows us to help a wide range of people, our practice focuses primarily on: Individual and Couples Therapy, Interpersonal Relational Issues, Eating Disorders, Addiction Recovery, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Reduction.
We are trained in several modalities which have been supportive and useful in helping clients. I (Sharon McLendon LPC-S, Practice Owner) am certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Level 1 trained in Somatic Experiencing. Other modalities our counselors have extensive training and experience in are EMDR, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness-based therapies.
Internal Family Systems, which is also referred to as IFS, is an evidence-based therapeutic method that believes all of us are made up of many different “parts.” IFS helps us understand and connect to each of these different parts so we can heal trauma, find deeper self-compassion, and create new patterns that enhance our lives.
EMDR is a highly-researched treatment for trauma and stress. By bringing the nervous system to a relaxed state, traumatic and distressful memories can be processed and dissolved.
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that is based on the principle that talking through challenges can help people identify and implement the skills they need to overcome them. It explores how things from our past are affecting us at the present moment. The goal is to bring an unconscious aspect of yourself to light so you have more freedom and choice in your current life.
I (Sharon McLendon) provide Supervision to individuals earning their LPC Internship hours. Weekly supervision is geared towards feedback and guidance on counseling techniques, application of theories, differential diagnosis, and ethics. I find it important to discuss career path goals and can help supervisees in developing plans to reach their career goals.
