Sharon Gough, LPC

Psychotherapist
TX
Hello and welcome to my practice! I'm Dr. Sharon, and I'm glad you're here. If you choose to engage in therapy with me, you can expect a professional experience as well as a well-trained provider. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Board-Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor with over 20 years of addiction training and counseling experience. Additionally, I have specialized training in grief and trauma issues as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My background also includes over 15 years of teaching experience as a college professor in psychology, criminal justice, grief and loss, and addiction courses, which enriches my counseling practice with evidence-based approaches to increasing coping skills and reducing common symptoms such as anxiety and depression. My preferred approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with a strong emphasis on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. This means we focus on the present rather than delving endlessly into the past. As a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Clinician, I have found that my clients report less anxiety after learning these skills. I believe in establishing a confidential therapeutic relationship to build the trust necessary for sharing intimate thoughts and emotions that promote growth, healing, and self-awareness. Whether you are coping with anxiety and depression related to normal life stressors, or if you struggle with addiction issues and/or impulsive behaviors, we can work together to identify what may be at the root of these behaviors and develop strategies to manage stress in a healthier manner. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please contact me to schedule an initial evaluation and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. I look forward to assisting you in your decision to make a positive change in your life!
