Cathy Sharp
With 16 years experience, I know how to help my clients grow beyond the mental traps of living in the past or future, and into a confident, fully-present moment. When we work together, you can expect me to be your guide as we analyze the ways your thoughts and feelings influence the actions you decide to take.
With 16 years experience, I know how to help my clients grow beyond the mental traps of living in the past or future, and into a confident, fully-present moment.
We’ll address the fears that keep you stuck in a state of inaction and find ways to move forward in a way that feels right for you. Don’t let your past experiences keep you from all that life has to offer, take a step today!
First session
I want my clients to feel comfortable in the therapy space, so transparency is important for me. After we discuss your goals and what brought you to our session, I’ll take some time to explain the therapy process as I like to practice it, and answer any questions you might have. You’re welcome to ask me about myself, what we might do during our time together, or anything else that comes to mind. Please review the following cancellation and rescheduling policy which aligns with Grow's cancellation policy: • If you cancel or miss your appointment with 24 hours or less notice, a $75 late cancellation/no-show fee will be charged. • If you reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance through the scheduling system, or contact to reschedule, no cancellation fee will be charged. • I understand that unexpected circumstances and emergencies can occur. Emergencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis and handled with appropriate consideration. Please contact me through the Grow platform to discuss your situation. Thank you for respecting this policy and for providing adequate notice whenever possible.
Strengths
I practice therapy how I’d like to receive it. I show up as my authentic self in session with clients and I take a big-picture view of their lives. Everyone’s needs are different and I tailor my work for each client. Whether it’s a shorter duration of sessions or providing more education, I can adapt to give you a holistic plan of action to meet your goals.
Ideal clients
My specialization is in working with highly-sensitive persons (HSPs), adults who struggle with perfectionism, and overthinkers. I’m excited to work with clients who are equally excited to engage with the process and willing to step into their autonomy and to achieve their personal goals. My goals are to allow you to have space where you feel seen, supported and understood.
