Getting to know Sharon Furman

Hi there, I'm Sharon! I'm a clinical psychologist with a PsyD from the California School of Professional Psychology and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have worked with adults, couples, and older teens for over 20 years. I provide psychotherapy using a psychodynamic approach to help individuals gain insight into themselves while also offering skills and tools to manage ongoing symptoms through a supportive, compassionate approach. Each person is unique, so the way I work varies depending on the needs and goals of each patient. My approach I use a combination of insight-oriented therapy, CBT strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help manage symptoms while developing a plan and goals to move forward in life. My work integrates psychodynamic, client-centered, mindfulness, and some CBT methods tailored to each individual. My focus I have worked with patients of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and marital issues, divorce, life changes, work-related problems, career transitions, and child and parenting concerns. My communication style I engage my patients by staying curious, asking questions, and striving to understand their perspective. I communicate directly but always listen first to appreciate each person’s unique history, culture, and background. My journey to mental healthcare I love helping people and find each person’s story uniquely meaningful. Compassion and understanding are essential to grasping the human condition. I have always been drawn to providing a supportive and compassionate environment. This work is deeply rewarding, and I feel honored to help people improve themselves and their lives. I have been studying and learning about people and psychology my whole life, as I believe it is the backbone of our society.
