Getting to know Sharon Salas
Hi there, I'm Sharon, and I'm passionate about helping individuals rediscover their inner child and embark on a journey of healing the wounds from their past. As a compassionate and creative soul, I offer a unique approach to processing and addressing emotions.
Through my work, I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your feelings, particularly those affected by addiction and co-dependency. I firmly believe that art, not in the traditional sense but as a personal expression of one's emotions, holds the key to authenticity and self-discovery. My focus is on the process rather than performance, making it a soulful and liberating experience I call "soul art."
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, which grounds my practice in evidence-based approaches and deep understanding of human behavior. As part of my commitment to excellence, I am currently pursuing my certification in Creative Journaling Expressive Arts with the CJEAItm. This additional training allows me to integrate journaling and expressive art techniques into our sessions, offering you a dynamic and creative approach to healing and personal growth.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, exploring your emotions through the creative lens, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to nurture your inner child and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you choose to work with me, you can expect a personalized and supportive therapeutic experience that centers around your needs and goals. Here's what you can expect from our journey together:
A Thoughtful First Session: Our initial meeting will be dedicated to understanding your presenting issues and concerns. I will actively listen to your story without judgment, creating a safe and empathetic environment for you to share your thoughts and emotions.
Open and Honest Dialogue: I value transparency and open communication. During our sessions, we will engage in candid conversations, where you can express yourself freely. Your feelings and opinions will be respected, and I encourage you to share anything that you believe is relevant to your healing process.
Mutual Compatibility: I recognize that the therapeutic relationship is essential for positive outcomes. In our first session, we will both assess whether we are a good fit for each other. Your comfort and trust are paramount, and I am committed to ensuring that you feel supported throughout our work together.
Client-Centered Approach: Your unique experiences and needs will shape the direction of our therapeutic journey. I will collaborate with you to tailor interventions and strategies that align with your preferences and goals.
Creative Exploration: As a practitioner of Creative Journaling Expressive Arts, I will introduce innovative and imaginative techniques to help you delve into your emotions and insights. This creative approach allows for deeper self-discovery and healing.
Emphasis on Process and Growth: While we will address your presenting issues, the focus will extend beyond mere problem-solving. I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and growth. Together, we will explore your inner world and work towards fostering long-lasting positive change.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
