Getting to know Sharon Sonko

Have you experienced stressful or traumatic events that have shattered your sense of security and made you feel helpless in this world? Trauma, anxiety, relationship troubles, or depression can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that won’t go away. You don’t have to live feeling hypervigilant, numb, disconnected, or unable to trust others anymore—I am here to help. It all starts with a warm and engaging space that promotes healing and growth. From there, you will learn new coping skills that calm your nervous system while digging deep to reprogram limiting beliefs you hold about yourself. I encourage my clients to become their best selves despite past trauma, which helps promote lasting positive outcomes. Are you ready to fall in love with yourself and your life? My name is Sharon, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 12 years of experience and a passion for meeting you where you are! My experience as a solution-focused therapist means I believe everyone has the capacity to change and that small changes can lead to big results. I enjoy working with a variety of issues, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma. The therapeutic techniques I utilize include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. My commitment is to help my clients reach their goals and live happier, healthier lives. I believe everyone deserves to feel good about themselves and have fulfilling relationships. Therefore, I am passionate about my work and dedicated to providing the best possible care. Currently, I work with anyone 18 years or older and am accepting new clients. If you are looking for a therapist who is trauma-trained, solution-focused, compassionate, and experienced, I encourage you to reach out today!
