LPC, 1 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! My name is Sharon Spencer Rose. I have over 15 years of counseling. I earned a Divinity degree and a master's degree in Christian counseling from The Oral Roberts University in 2002 and 2003. I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed addiction counselor. I believe in providing compassionate care. I believe that everyone has the answer within they may just need guidance in knowing how to overcome certain traumas and/or barriers, develop coping skills, see that answer, and realize that transformation can take place allowing them to achieve their goals and eventually their higher purpose.
I make it a point to listen to all your concerns and the goals you the client would like to work on. Together we will explore ways towards progressing towards a favorable outcome.
I work towards creating an environment that is warm, compassionate, and gentle and an outcome that hopefully will bring understanding, peace and a new life of hope and purpose.
I see counseling as a process in which we work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples and as families. I also conduct group therapy as needed.
I have worked with children and adults within the community through exploring thoughts, perceptions, attitudes, and coinciding behaviors concerning the problematic issues and creating goals that can lead towards an improved life.
I see counseling as a process in which I work as a team with my client. Each individual is unique and may require other approaches to finding a resolution, for this reason an integrative approach that of emerging various approaches may be deemed necessary in order to produce an effective result.
Many of my clients have been religious in nature. I have worked as a Chaplain and presently do and have over 15 years exploring with clients how their faith can offer hope in times of crisis but can also be a daily prescription that can bring about healing in all dimensions of their lives and better equip them for life challenges.
