Hello! Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I bring a nature-inspired, grounded approach to healing, encouraging clients to find balance amidst life’s challenges. With a background of travel around the US and the Mediterranean, and having served in both the US Navy and the US Army, I bring a unique perspective on resilience and adapting to change. Deeply passionate about psychology, I felt a calling for therapy early in my education and have found my niche supporting individuals working through crisis and trauma. There is nothing more fulfilling than guiding clients through profound, positive transformations, and I am committed to walking alongside you in your journey toward a better tomorrow.

I have experience working in community mental health, correctional facilities, residential treatment centers, and the hospital setting. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Criminology from Northern Illinois University, a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I am a 200 hour certified Yoga teacher and working towards my 500 hour yoga teacher certification and certification in yoga therapy. I live with my partner, two kids, and our cat, Mango. I enjoy reading, crocheting, and gardening.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 18 years of experience helping adults navigate burnout, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I work with high-functioning individuals who often appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and managing everything on their own—until it stops working. They come to me looking for more than just coping strategies. They want to understand what’s driving their patterns and experience real, lasting change. My approach integrates EMDR, parts work, and nervous system-focused therapy to help you move beyond surface-level solutions. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, process unresolved experiences, and shift the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. The impact of this work is more than symptom relief. Clients often begin to feel calmer, more grounded, and clearer in their decisions. They develop a stronger sense of self, improved boundaries, and a greater ability to navigate stress without becoming overwhelmed. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to keep doing this alone—change is possible, and it can feel more sustainable than you might expect.

I am Sharlisa Byrd, LMFT (CA & OR), SEP, TITC-CT, CCHt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in California and Oregon. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Certified Clinical Traumatologist. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palo Alto University and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Flash Technique. My work focuses on helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress, with a deep understanding of how these experiences become held within the body and nervous system. I use a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach that integrates somatic and mind-body techniques to support emotional regulation, resilience, and lasting healing. I have experience supporting individuals navigating concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, parenting challenges, attachment issues, complex relationship dynamics, life transitions for adolescents and young adults, domestic violence recovery, sexual abuse recovery, psychosis, and African American identity concerns. In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as an Adjunct Professor at the University of San Francisco, where I teach multiple graduate-level counseling courses. I have also trained in several trauma-resolution approaches that inform my work with clients, students, and colleagues. My clinical philosophy centers on a bottom-up approach to healing, recognizing that trauma often lives in the body and that healing involves restoring safety, awareness, and balance within the nervous system. I often describe my role as a manufacturer of hope and healing, supporting individuals as they move beyond survival and toward becoming post-traumatic thrivers. On a personal note, I am the mother of six daughters and a grandmother to three and a half granddaughters, experiences that have deepened my understanding of relationships, attachment, and what many refer to as Mother Hunger.

I am a person who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community with multicultural and multiethnic roots. I enjoy working with adult men who are exploring their gender, sexuality, and relationships; members of the LGBTQ+ and BDSM/kink communities; and sexual trauma survivors and thrivers. I aim to help clients in accepting and loving the parts of themselves that they have disowned or hidden throughout their lifespan due to negative influences from their families of origin, peers, and society.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that trust is the foundation of any meaningful therapeutic relationship. My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I approach each person with warmth, authenticity, and compassion - meeting them where they are and honoring the vulnerability it takes to seek help. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's most challenging moments with compassion, clarity, and connection. With years of clinical experience, I bring a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, grounded in evidenced-based practices and a respect for each person's unique journey.

I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun! When you come to therapy its like showing up in some type of vehicle I will gladly get in and help navigate throughout the ride. Once the ride ends I get out and say goodbye until next time. Oh and I make sure during the ride you don't run us off the road ;).

My clinical experience has been providing individual therapy services to adolescents, adults and seniors. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and family issues. My goal is to create a space where clients can authentically express themselves without fear of judgment or misunderstanding and to empower individuals to present their true selves confidently to the world. I aim to help clients embrace all parts of themselves as they heal and grow. You are the narrator of your story and I am here to guide and help support you through your journey.
