Sharron Lewis, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Sharron!

I have worked in the mental health field, and my practice has evolved to include approaches that utilize mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

My focus

I have worked with a variety of clients in outpatient and inpatient settings. My clients typically seek therapy due to overwhelming life circumstances. They are experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma. Most have difficulties in multiple life areas.

My approach

I like to begin therapy with some common language around attachment styles and personality. How we attach impacts every interpersonal relationship. I infuse our sessions with knowledge from Polyvagal theory and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

My communication style

I am on the gentle side of the therapist spectrum. I seldom use direct or confrontational tactics. I want to help you find the missing or distorted pieces in your story. My clients feel understood and heard. That is very important to me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been drawn to the mental health field since my undergraduate years. Circumstances required that I immediately enter the workforce after college before I enrolled in graduate school for my Master's in Social Work. I needed that time to ensure I was emotionally ready to be available for others. Being a therapist is very gratifying.

My goals for you

Goal setting is driven by my clients. My input will center around clarifying goals and possibly a little tweak if I sense that there are steps to complete first.

Our first session

I like to start with what brought you to therapy. What was it that you said to yourself that informed you that therapy is needed now? We will talk about relevant family history, with particular attention to those early messages that turn into important vows we make to ourselves. Vows that initially protect us but ultimately imprison us.
