Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Belton, TX covered by Cigna

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

I work with adults and couples who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or substance use, my goal is to offer a supportive space where you can feel understood and begin making meaningful changes.

I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often unintentionally rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience. I received my NP training at Duke University and my PhD at The University of Texas at Austin. Throughout my career, I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences, and I strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment where every patient feels heard. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with each individual and provide thoughtful, individualized care that supports long-term mental wellness. I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management primarily for adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns. I have a particular interest in evidence-based ADHD evaluation and medication management and welcome patients whose needs are a good fit for my practice.

Hi! I'm Sharin, and welcome to Your Evolving Truth Therapies! Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and I’m glad you are taking this step on the path to where you want to be. I provide individual therapy to people 16+. I named my practice Your Evolving Truth Therapies (YET Therapies) because where you are at right now does not have to be where you stay; there is a lot of power in the word YET! I am an identity-affirming and trauma-informed therapist. My areas of focus include life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss.

Some of my passions include working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I have additional training on Emotion Focused Therapy allowing me to connect with attachment needs and help heal through establishing a secure attachment in relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and 5th year postgraduate Psychoanalytic Scholar with the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. I have a passion for helping others find deep, lasting change as opposed to mere symptom relief.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identities and those impacted by trauma. I had the privilege of launching the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma, and this experience, combined with my analytic background, largely informs my approach to care.

I assist children, teens, young adults, and adults work through tough times and difficult emotions, life’s transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether it’s a child with big feelings and educational barriers, a teen feeling isolated and unsure of themselves, or an adult attempting to navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, or identity shifts - I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s going on and facilitate lasting change.
