More about Sharon Hoffman, LICSW
Sometimes things in your life may feel too hard to handle on your own. Too often people don't feel seen or understood by others. If you are tired of working with a therapist who just sits and says "uh uh", if you feel stuck, unable to heal , repair, and navigate the path to make better choices and confront what you have avoided, then my approach which has been highly successful for my clients can help you move forward to feel healthier and happier.. Whether long standing issues or reactions to recent stressors, my role is that you feel welcomed, safe, supported and start building new strategies from our first visit.
I listen closely to fully hear what you are struggling with and actively raise questions and share thoughts. My role is not to judge or criticize , but to create a safe space where you feel free to examine your own thoughts, feelings, and patterns and to help you figure out what you want and need, and how to find your voice and feel empowered.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help. I have experienced great success with couples and individuals to provide relief from fighting, improving partnering and parenting skills, addressing intimacy/communication problems, and provide solution oriented therapy with adults.

Sharon has made such an amazing impact in my life. She is compassionate and empathic. She is warm and it's clear she cares about me and my wellbeing. She has helped me during one of the most difficult periods in my life. She is someone I trust and a true thought partner for me. She has given me so many new tools to use and plays a pivotal role in my growth. Sharon isn't afraid to have difficult conversations with me and holds space while I process and reflect. I feel so lucky to have found Sharon. She is a wealth of information and I feel like I am making so much progress with her guidance. If you are looking for someone accepting, flexible, self aware, patient and trustworthy - Sharon is your person!

Sharon is a excellent therapist, listening intently and proactively sharing insights and observations. She is very supportive and compassionate, while also being focused on helping me make progress on my goals. I have appreciated that this is just talk but working together to identify steps I can take to make the change I desire in my life and the way I view what's happening. Sharon has been a valued guide and partner in that work.

I have known and worked with Sharon off and on for a number of years. She has also helped other members of my family. All of us have found Sharon to be a very thoughtful counsellor. She asks good questions - not just your typical therapeutic "Tell me how you feel about that - and helps me reflect on the heart of the issues at hand. Sharon is also responsive to critiques, e.g., I've had to ask her a few times not to interrupt when I'm talking and she takes my needs to heart.
Without hesitation, I heartily recommend Sharon to anyone who needs a thought partner. We have reflected on personal issues, family issues, crises of confidence, and spiritual journeys. Sharon goes with the flow of what's on my mind and responds warmly, attentively, and compassionately. She both supports me and challenges me as needed.

Our time with Sharon was life changing. Her incredibly wise and caring manner helped reshape and redefine our marriage in ways we could never have anticipated. Personally, I was new to therapy and I spent my first few sessions being resistant, defensive, and shut down. But it was OK because piece by piece, Sharon unraveled the places we were stuck as a couple so that slowly but steadily, we began understanding and communicating with each other in an entirely new way. No matter how tough or emotional the moment (and there were many of those), Sharon was a calming presence who guided us to a better place. We will never forget our time with her. She genuinely cared about both of us, individually and as a couple, and because of Sharon, we are experiencing a healthier, more loving marriage. We are forever grateful.

I have been seeing Sharon for more than three years and have had the best experience working with her. She is professional, warm, and a great listener, and she supports my personal development in ways that are aligned with my authentic self. I really value her presence in my life -- she's made a huge difference in my mental health, and would recommend her to anyone who was looking for a therapist.

Sharon has been our couple’s therapist and then my individual therapist for the past 4 years. She has made huge positive impact to our lives.
She is highly effective, persistent, result-driven and also living and trust-worthy.
She genuinely cares about her patients, helps in every aspect she can, and employs different personalized methods to help solve the problem. She also has a large network of practitioners to help unblock tough issues together when needed.
Our marriage most likely wouldn’t have survived if not for Sharon’s help. My husband has become a different person, with better belief systems and approaches to everything in life. I personally have also developed into a calm secure individual under Sharon’s guidance.
Great effective therapists are very hard to find. We are very grateful that we got to know sharon through recommendations and now our life is changed for the better.

I found Sharon based on a recommendation after several unsuccessful (unhelpful) visits with other therapists while going through a very challenging time in my life. In the past 4 years Sharon has helped me immensely. I appreciate her approach - she doesn't endlessly ask "how does that make you feel." She is incredibly helpful in assisting me to actually resolve the issues and offer guidance. Without a doubt, I have been significantly calmer and more comfortable in addressing any conflict (without massive anxiety!) since she's been helping me. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone.

Sharon is an excellent couples therapist. We see her on a regular basis. I don’t think our 35year marriage would have continued if it wasn’t for all of her invaluable insights into who we are as individuals as well as a married couple.
She’s gives us support as well as the tools to avoid (less) conflicts. I’m the critical one and my husband plays defense. I personally appreciate how respectful she is of us as humans which helps when we get stuck. I always leave our sessions feeling seen and heard.

I have been seeing Sharon for 6.5 years, and I can’t imagine my life without her. She’s helped me understand and grow in countless ways, and she has done so with kindness, compassion, and understanding. I cannot imagine a better therapist!

Sharon has seen me through every type of crisis and every sort of mental health and relationship issue. What makes her unique is her ability to give you actionable advice and focus on problem resolution. She’s also “real”. She doesn’t just shut down her humanity and put her therapist hat on. She empathizes with you, person to person, and uses her own extensive life AND therapy experience to make you feel like everything is manageable if you work at it. She’s truly one of a kind.

Finding Sharon among the many therapy professionals was a huge win for me. Her expertise always brings clarity to the issues I present. I leave each session with better understanding, acceptance, and purpose. I can count on Sharon to empathize, yet she provides the guidance needed to answer the important questions. My time with her has been extremely helpful.
