Dr. Sharon Pugh

Hello, I'm Dr. Sharon Pugh, and I'm here to support you. With over ten years of experience in social science, nonprofits, and private practice, I specialize in women's mental health and high-conflict family dynamics. Whether you're dealing with trauma, navigating a difficult divorce, or coping with loss, I use a person-centered approach to tailor our work to your unique needs. Together, we'll work towards healing and growth, no matter your age or background. Let's take this journey together.

My approach to therapy centers on building a solid rapport and creating a safe environment while setting goals together. I value your time with a client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused perspective. We'll identify the best strategies for you, empowering you to make positive changes. I draw from family systems, attachment theory, narrative, cognitive-behavioral, and emotionally focused practices to support individuals and families in their journey to healing.

In our first session, my primary goal is to provide a safe, warm, and judgment-free environment where we can build rapport through authentic conversation. You don't have to dive into your deepest secrets immediately; feel free to discuss whatever you're comfortable with. We'll explore your needs, issues, and past strategies for managing your mental health, discussing what worked and what didn't. I aim to create a space where you can be genuine.
