Anita Sharma

I have a master's degree from UT Austin with a focus on personality development, attachment patterns, parent child interactions, family dynamics. I am in the mental health field in the DFW area for over 30 years, I am a licensed therapist since 2005.

If you are having waves of anxiety, sadness, feeling isolated, overwhelmed, exhausted, avoiding and postponing things. feeling disengaged, and wanting to talk to someone. I can help you see things from a different angle. Together, we can find ways for you to recognize your strengths, become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, social interaction patterns. With this insight, you can make positive changes to improve mood. approach things with optimism, and confidence.

I see clients across age groups, teens and adults. I try to stay attuned to current issues and trends to bring a context based perspective to better understand the impact of contemporary stressors on clients' lives and relationships.

When I am not working, I engage in my interests and hobbies for fun and relaxation. I like gardening, going for long walks on the trails. doing yoga exercises, trying out new recipes.

Client-centered, I help client identify, acknowledge their strengths, use coping and problem solving skills to improve their self-efficacy and self-esteem so they engage with life with a sense of wonder, excitement, hopefulness.

In my first session I introduce myself, create a trusting and safe environment, explain the therapy process, discuss confidentiality and limits of confidentiality, try to build a rapport with clients, address their questions and concerns.
