About Sharon Thomas, MS, LCMHC
Ms. Thomas believes that every individual is a unique and complex being. She prioritizes open, honest communication and encourages her patients to fully share their narratives as the foundation for creating a collaborative relationship. As a clinician, her goal is to provide competent care to everyone she has the privilege to serve. Sharon draws on a variety of mindcare modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with a Person-Centered/Trauma Informed approach. She is inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou’s statement that, “People will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” As a provider, Ms. Thomas works to embody this truth by creating a collaborative counselor/patient relationship in defining expected outcomes and engaging in treatment planning to realistically meet those goals. Sharon’s desire is to be a good steward of the opportunities, knowledge, resources and perspectives gifted to her in this life, and she is excited to share them with others. She also speaks AAVE.

Honestly this woman is why I am still alive. Her ability to get you to use CBT without the ordinary textbook language is superb. I m learning more about myself, able to externalize my problems without beating up on myself so much. I feel like, although I still have my issues and problems, I can have a quality of life. That I can have a meaningful life. The depressive thoughts are fleeting where as I used to think of negatively daily now I m able to ask myself why do I feel this way and recognize if I need a break and/or if I m doing too much. Like I've said, I still have a ways to go but I am able to recognize how far I ve come.
