New to Grow
Hello my name is Sharise and I'm the founder & owner of Structural Solutions. I’ve been a licensed clinician since 2017, but I’ve been supporting adults, children, and families in reaching their potential since 2000. I have helped and supported many individuals as a social service provider in fields ranging from child welfare to substance abuse, along with many others in between. Most recently, I’ve dedicated my time to helping individuals uncover and understand factors that have impacted their daily functioning and relationships. I strive to maintain a warm and empathetic approach while also being professional and direct in my responses. I don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach, as needs and solutions vary, support should be customized to each person. I aim to help you think differently and try new approaches so that you can experience new feelings and outcomes.
The first few sessions are structured around getting to know you and helping you adjust to a new relationship. From the beginning I'm helping to explore and uncover areas that contribute to uncomfortable feelings.
I help clients quickly identify patterns that are keeping them stuck and work toward shifting those patterns using structured, evidence-based approaches like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and Structural Family Therapy. Clients often find that therapy feels active, focused, and directly applicable to their everyday lives.
My counseling career began with a focus on Structural Family Therapy (SFT), where I assess family dynamics and interaction patterns that influence both healthy functioning and areas of conflict. I view SFT as a powerful approach for reshaping relationships and addressing underlying tensions, allowing us to bring unspoken issues into the open and work toward meaningful change. While family therapy supports individuals in developing healthier ways of relating to others, individual therapy provides space to focus on your unique experiences. In this setting, I help you build personalized coping strategies and navigate challenges that may be disrupting your overall well-being.
