Getting to know Sharon Hatten

Hello! My name is Sharon Hatten, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern Mississippi and over 18 years of experience working with diverse populations ranging from children to at-risk teens, aging adults, and military veterans. I have worked in schools, homes, inpatient, and outpatient settings. My goal is to provide effective, compassionate therapy and help clients improve and maintain their quality of life. My approach I utilize a client-centered approach to therapy, incorporating CBT and DBT to help clients address unhealthy thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotions. I also use elements of positive psychology to help clients focus on their internal strengths and resourcefulness rather than their weaknesses and shortcomings, promoting resilience. My focus I am adept at working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress-related issues. I am also experienced in working with clients with mental health issues related to chronic illness. Early in my career, I worked with at-risk youth. My communication style I work to create a safe space where my clients feel free to be open and honest. I "meet clients where they are" and offer supportive guidance. I believe trust is the foundation of a good therapeutic relationship and successful outcomes. My journey to mental healthcare I have seen the impact of mental health struggles firsthand. I have had close family members go untreated for (what I know now to be) unresolved trauma due to the cultural stigma and shame, financial, and educational barriers associated with mental health treatment in the past. Thankfully, with the publicity of Mental Health Awareness campaigns and initiatives, mental health therapy and treatment are widely accepted and, in many places, encouraged. The ability to help individuals work through their emotions is a gift that I believe I have had from as early as my middle school years.
