Hey there, my name is Sharda (Shar-day), and I am a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy helping adults work through stress and challenges, while also celebrating the victories. My approach to therapy is letting you lead the way! You know your life better than I do, I'm just here to help you learn different ways to live your best life!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session together, I will ask background information, fun things about you, hobbies and interests. We will then work together to identify what brings you to treatment, a goal you would like to achieve and how we can work together to get you there.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am good with incorporating my client's personality into the session while allowing them to be seen and heard. I take pride in getting to know my clients to create a personalized treatment plan that will further them on their journey to live their best life. I enjoy using humor when appropriate in session. I'll show up to our sessions authentically myself, and I welcome my clients to do the same.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you're ready to do the work, I am ready to help. Sometimes starting your therapy journey can be challenging, and I get that. You're taking the first step in looking for a therapist, that's a small victory.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to focus on solutions to the challenges you currently face. It is a very straight forward approach, and I will follow your lead.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help take a look at your thought patterns and identify ways to improve them. Addressing thoughts can help you change unwanted behaviors and feelings.

She is a warm welcoming individual, who made me feel comfortable about opening up day 1. She is very intentional on getting to know you as a person, and develops a plan with milestones on how to reach your end goal. She celebrates your successes and encourages you when you don't quite hit the mark

Sharda has been so understanding and insightful during our short time together so far. It feels like I’m talking with a friend who’s actually being honest with me and helping me cope with life easier. Her approach is catered to the person and not just a generic plan which makes things much better and more realistic in my life.
