Getting to know Dhara Shar

Hi there, I'm Dhara! My name is Dhara Shah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in Maine. I work with clients statewide in Maine via telehealth. As a licensed clinician, I conduct assessments to determine the course of treatment for the individual, such as individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy. My approach I utilize a client-centered approach, focusing on providing support, insight, and guidance while maintaining empathy, respect, and confidentiality. I draw on multiple therapeutic models to offer a range of helpful strategies based on the needs and preferences of my clients. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and a Strength-Based Approach to assist my clients in achieving their therapeutic goals. I also utilize family systems strategies when conducting family sessions and helping clients dealing with familial issues. My focus I am licensed and trained, with 7 years of professional experience, to conduct individual, couples, family, and group sessions. My areas of expertise include helping individuals deal with day-to-day challenges, stress management, self-esteem, and issues related to mental health such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, and family concerns. I earned my Bachelor?s degree from Felician University. My communication style I tailor my communication style to fit the unique needs of each client. I recognize that people have different preferences for how they process information, whether through conversation, activities, or introspective exercises. Some clients prefer to dive deep into emotional discussions, while others might need more structured activities or practical tools. I?m flexible and adjust my approach based on your preferences and what feels most effective for you. My first session with you The first session usually focuses on conducting an assessment to determine the appropriateness for treatment and the level of care needed.
