Sharon Ybarra

My communication style

My communication style is gentle, warm, and loving. I am a good listener and am very interested in you and the life you have lived. We build on your strengths and create even more along the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have loved teaching and helping others since I was very young. They go together. I was also interested in the behavior of others and why they did the things they did. I studied my own family first and later taught and counseled others as a professional. My greatest joy is to be with others when they have accomplished something meaningful to them.

My goals for you

I want to hear your goals, and together we shall make a plan to achieve them. We will have a team approach with many options for change or healing to choose from. Each time we meet, we will review your goals, your progress, and your next steps.

Our first session

In our first session, I want to help you feel safe, cared about, and instill hope that you can make changes in your life. You will feel my support and interest in working with you.
