Sharon Portillo

Hi! I’m Sharon Portillo. I am a bilingual clinical social worker as well as a supervisor for other social workers.

For the past decade, I have worked in the healthcare industry with patients who have received inpatient and outpatient treatment as well as crisis intervention. In addition, I have been a part of a private practice where I saw clients who were having marital issues, trauma, panic disorders, in need of a mental health evaluation for immigration status, etc.

Throughout my years of experience, I have enjoyed treating people with different walks of life and seeing their lives being transformed.

Mental health is a passion of mine because I believe it is a pillar in our lives that we must nourish and take care of.

I have a holistic and Christ-centered approach to therapy. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, mindfulness, and brief therapy.

I want my clients to walk away with HOPE. Many times in life we feel like we are at a dead end or that life just shut the biggest door on us, but I believe that there is always something good that can come out of pain, struggle and hurt. I want to walk alongside you to find it.
