Great to meet you!

Sharon Gusmus is a virtual and in person counselor helping clients, bringing natural empathy using an eclectic direct approach. She is credentialed in both Florida and Colorado and sees clients who reside in both states. She holds both a Masters in Counseling and a Bachelors from Colorado Christian University as well as an Associates of Applied Science from Red Rocks Community College.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Sharons therapy modality is CBT, believing our thoughts about ourselves will manifest themselves in how we act and have the power to help us achieve our goals but can also hinder our growth. She is trained in the unique modality of EMDR. This therapy helps people reprocess both large and small traumas and life stressors that cause residual effects such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. Sharon also has level 1 Gottman training in order to help couples through hard times in their relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

Sharon works with many issues including but not limited to, trauma, depression, addictions, anxiety, life stressors, overcoming childhood issues, and having a negative self image. Sharon also works with couples to work on problem solving and achieve conflict resolution. She believes in treating the whole person, not just the problem. The benefits of therapy with Sharon are in her personal and direct approach.
