Sharon Hill-Anderson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sharon!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to work with adults to navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can begin your journey.

My focus

Many of us struggle with anxiety or self-doubt. I will work with you to help you manage your anxious thoughts and feelings, life transitions, or struggles with self-esteem. Together, we will build coping skills and create an achievable plan for you to grow and feel empowered.

My approach

I use Cognitive-behavioral Therapy to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. I believe in providing you with the tools to allow you to feel more in control of your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I like to work together with you to identify your challenges and find ways to move forward.

My communication style

I like to have clear, comfortable conversations that are supportive and non-judgmental. I practice active listening, providing you with a safe place and opportunity for you to reflect on your experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose this field of work later in life after my own healing journey. I spent several years working in mental health crisis, where I was meeting others at some of their darkest times. This showed me that therapy can play a powerful role in one's journey and the belief that all of us have the potential for positive growth.

My goals for you

I believe we all have the potential for positive growth, so it is important to work together to set smart goals that are important to you. Whether you are working on improving self-esteem or reducing anxiety, your goals will evolve as you gain insight. I will provide you with tools and support to move you closer to where you want to be.

Our first session

Therapy is a process, so in our first session, I would like to take the opportunity for us to get to know each other. I like to discuss your background and why you have chosen to come to therapy at this time. We can then continue on your journey and work together over time to achieve your goals.
