I am a compassionate, person-centered Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the fields of mental health and addiction treatment. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, military families, inpatient and outpatient programs, schools, and clients' homes, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing that they are the experts in their own lives, and helping them build on their strengths to regain a sense of balance, confidence, and well-being.
My goal is to support you on your journey toward meaningful and lasting change while fostering hope, resilience, and personal empowerment.
We all need and deserve a place we can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what we’re carrying.
Whether you or your child is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be an opportunity to better understand yourself, heal, and reconnect with—or discover—your strengths.
I truly love what I do. One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist is getting to know each person’s unique story, understanding what matters most to you, and helping you work toward the future you envision for yourself or your child. I believe you already have strengths, abilities, and resilience within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build on them, and develop the tools and confidence to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, where your experiences are heard and valued, and where we can work together toward meaningful change.
I believe healing happens through connection. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to understand the roots of their struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and build a life of balance and purpose. I bring authenticity, insight, and gentle honesty into my sessions.
I’m Sharon Elizabeth Locklear, LCSW, ACSW, and I bring more than 30 years of experience as a mental health practitioner. My career has included work in private practice, hospitals, the U.S. Army, and the VA, supporting individuals through grief, trauma, caregiving, chronic health concerns, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and complex mental health challenges.
I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while caring for others, managing responsibilities, or simply trying to survive difficult circumstances. I believe people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create lives that reflect who they truly are. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you recognize your strengths, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and move toward the life you want to create.
