Sharlyn McGary

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences. I have a special passion for working with women and teens who are struggling with attachment wounds, self worth, people pleasing, and unhealthy relationship patterns. My goal is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to heal.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and supported enough to keep going. My role is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical tools to face life's challenges with more confidence. I tailor treatment to your needs, drawing from CBT, DBT, and trauma informed, attachment focused approaches so our work fits you.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and identify the goals you would like to work toward. I will ask about your personal history to better understand what is contributing to your struggles. By the end, you will have a clearer sense of how we can work together and a plan that moves at a pace that feels right for you.
