“I've been seeing Sharone for about five years, and she's been nothing but supportive, empathetic, and motivating as I've gone through highs and lows in my professional and private life. She meets me where I am with the type of therapy I need on that given day, and is often dropping wisdom bombs that I find myself quoting throughout the week. Highly recommend!”

“I was feeling lost in a long-term relationship, and it was difficult for me to feel comfortable opening up and talking to anyone in my life. Right from our first session, Sharone made me feel at ease and less isolated. She has been an invaluable support in improving my personal and professional relationships -- and ultimately, in helping me work through my anxieties to feel more secure and confident in myself. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a tailored therapeutic approach grounded in deep kindness and acceptance. ”

Getting to know Sharone Bunim
From the outside, it may look like you have things together, while internally you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. I work with high-functioning individuals who are managing well on the surface but struggling with stress, loss, or emotional exhaustion.
You may be navigating a recent loss or major life transition that has left you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or heartbroken. Or you may be living with ongoing stress, sadness, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck or “off,” as if you’ve lost your spark or vitality. In either case, your experience can feel urgent, isolating, and difficult to manage on your own.
Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more emotionally grounded. We focus on what feels most pressing while also deepening awareness of underlying patterns that may be shaping how you think, feel, and relate. As these patterns become clearer, it often becomes easier to move through current challenges with more clarity and choice.
I bring years of experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy, advanced psychoanalytic training, and a background in social work.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic and relational, while also incorporating somatic and cognitive-behavioral techniques when helpful for building practical tools and improving coping.
My style is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in compassion, as we work together toward meaningful change that I believe is possible. Over time, many people find themselves feeling less stuck, more emotionally steady, and better able to make choices that align with who they are and the life they want to live.
If this resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting a new treatment can be both scary and exciting. I welcome all your hopes, fears, and anticipations. Therapy can open the door to a life lived with meaning, creativity, professional fulfillment, love, and spontaneity. I am committed to your well being and I look forward to meeting you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer in-person and virtual sessions. I work with people on a once a week (at least) basis. I believe my approach is both warm and direct. I will listen deeply. If there is a place for humour, lets find it!
