Sharon G. Walker

My communication style

I'm basically an informal person, and clients have told me that I'm easy to talk to. I think of myself as a warm person and a good listener.

My journey to mental healthcare

My first career was teaching, where I recognized that students needed help with issues beyond learning a subject. I wanted to be part of that helping team. I became a psychologist and went into private practice, privileged to share in the lives of thousands of people.

My goals for you

Setting goals is a collaborative effort, with your needs and desires for change taking priority. These goals become the centerpiece around which various understandings and insights evolve. Goals may change through the course of treatment.

Our first session

The first session is usually one of getting to know each other a little, gathering information about your current situation and motivation to begin therapy, and a discussion of the therapeutic process. An exploration of goals is a priority.
