You've done meaningful therapeutic work and you're ready to go deeper. You're successful in the external markers of your life, but you know there's more—greater depth, connection, and purpose waiting for you. You've addressed foundational trauma, and now you want to explore subtler patterns: how you hold back in intimacy, the meanings you're searching for, the fuller expression of yourself you sense is possible. You may be curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy as a tool for profound insight. You're not dealing with crisis, but are looking for a guide who can support you in moving from survival to fully living in your wholeness.

Shari Gilbert

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, initially as a Registered Nurse, working in many different specialities (NICU, pediatrics, and Clinical Trials for Hepatitis C). I’m grateful for both careers and maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing. I practice Christian Counseling and my goal as a therapist is to meet you where you’re at and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. For those of different faiths, I offer counseling oriented toward growth and healing, grounded in traditional values.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty in relationships or other concerns, and are desiring a therapeutic approach aligned with a Christian worldview or traditional values, I would be honored to speak with you.

I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.

Therapist

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults and caregivers navigating stress, burnout, grief, loss, complex emotional and life transitions, and challenging family dynamics. My background in crisis intervention, care coordination, and supporting individuals and families through overwhelming health‐related experiences allows me to bring a steady, compassionate presence to clients moving through difficult periods.

Clients often come to me when they’re feeling stuck, carrying heavy emotional loads, or trying to make sense of what’s happening in their lives. I offer a warm, calm, and organized space where you can feel understood and supported.

I work primarily with adults, including caregivers, healthcare professionals, and individuals managing chronic stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes.
