Sharon Werner, LPC, CAADC

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or poor self-esteem? Do you struggle with an "inner critic" telling you that you are not good enough? Do you struggle to just get through the day? Does social media make you want to burrow back into bed or hide under a rock?

These are challenging times for many of us. The strategies we have used to manage life, to handle our feelings, don't seem to be working anymore. And being a college student means constantly discovering who we are, which isn't always easy. We may be smart, talented, motivated...but depression and anxiety make it hard to get out of bed sometimes. We may not feel confident enough to create the life we want, and that's OK! Because that's something we can work on.

As a certified Self-Compassion Informed Therapist, my goal is to help you learn to make friends with yourself, including learning to work with your challenges. Using mindfulness and compassion focused techniques, we can begin to build our internal resilience to meet the challenges of life while maintaining a warm, caring attitude towards ourselves and others. My goal is to help you become YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND!

If that sounds like something you would like to do, reach out to me. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to make sure our styles mesh and you feel comfortable with me.
