Ms. Jenkins has given me a new second wind in my life by helping me heal any and all unresolved traumas and feelings across the board. She has been most helpful and honest with me even when it’s answers I wasn’t expecting or wanting to hear. I’m grateful to have her as my therapist.

Hello! Whatever brought you here to consider a counseling relationship, you have taken a courageous step. If you choose me as your therapist, I will help you work toward overcoming your stumbling blocks. I can help with whatever your issues are, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or substance use. I will always be real with you, and we will work together in a way that makes you feel safe. My approach is strengths based, client centered and solution focused.
A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina with three brothers. I graduated from the University of NC at Chapel Hill with degrees in Psychology and Clinical Social Work. I moved to Georgia, became licensed as an LCSW, and I've been helping people for over 20 years.
Outside of work, my greatest blessing is my young adult son, who is a recent Air Force veteran. I value my friends, family and faith. I have two dogs and a cat. I love to walk or hike, eat out, and listen to music. I especially love the beach!
I believe you are the expert of your own life. If you choose me as your therapist, we will work toward accomplishing your goals together. My clients tell me that I am calming, genuine, encouraging and trustworthy. It would be an honor to join you in your healing journey. Whatever your decision, I wish you all the best.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sharon is awesome I loved working with her
Sharon is very empathetic and professional, but she's also not afraid to tell you what you need to hear. She has been nothing but supportive.
Sharon has been very helpful to me in recent months. My life has become very complicated and I signed up with BetterHelp in hope that I might find someone to talk to that could help me navigate these difficult times. I feel very fortunate that Sharon was the first therapist I was connected to and I value our conversations greatly. She has made suggestions that I have followed up on and has been a great sounding board for me as I have no one else to talk at present. I would highly recommend Sharon Jenkins and BetterHelp to anyone struggling with family problems and depression or any mental health issues.
Sharon is absolutely fantastic. She was always there and ready to listen and always gave a lot of really great guidance. She helped me through some really tough stuff and was always very patient, kind and considerate. I highly recommend her and value my time with her very very much.
This is the first time I’ve ever reached out for help with my mental health and I’m 73. So it was not an easy decision for me to seek help and I didn’t know what to expect. It’s early yet but Sharon has eased me into being able to talk honestly with someone and has made helpful suggestions about self care which I have to admit I didn’t know I needed. I’ve spent my life being a care giver as a nurse, paramedic, teacher, mother and a wife so this process is very new to me. Sharon has made it easy and so have the telehealth appointments. I highly recommend Sharon Jenkins and BetterHelp.
So far she's been Great. Thanks
