Getting to know Sharon Kennon
Hi there, I'm Sharon!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with both professional expertise and lived experience. My background includes strong work in addiction treatment and a commitment to trauma‐informed care, ensuring that therapy feels safe, respectful, and empowering.
My focus
I work best with clients who are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma recovery, addiction, and emotional healing. My ideal clients are individuals seeking a safe, grounded space to explore their experiences, understand their emotions, and build healthier patterns moving forward. Many of the people I work with are in periods.
My approach
I take a relational, trauma‑informed, and strengths‑based approach to therapy. I believe people heal best when they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. My role is to help clients understand their experiences, make sense of their emotions, and build tools that support long‑term growth.
My communication style
My communication style is compassionate, empathic, and direct, grounded in emotional maturity and a genuine commitment to helping clients feel understood and supported. I show up with warmth and curiosity, creating a space where clients can speak openly without fear of judgment.
My goals for you
I help clients reach their goals through a process that is collaborative, emotionally grounded, and focused on meaningful change. My intention is to help clients move toward their goals with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves—so the changes they make are meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with who they are becoming.
Our first session
My journey to becoming a therapist started during the seasons of my life when I was the one searching for support in a space without judgement. Those experiences stayed with me. They taught me how powerful it is to feel understood, how meaningful it is to have someone listen, and how healing it can be when a provider believes in you.
