I have several years of in-depth experience working with men and women that have experienced substance misuse, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I believe that absolutely everyone has a unique story, one that makes you the individual that you are. Each of us have life challenges at one time or another, the strength to deal with those challenges is within you, I am here to walk beside you and help you discover or even rediscover the power you already have that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I absolutely love what I do, it is a privilege to be able to help you facilitate the change you want or need. Whether you chose to work with me or another therapist, please be sure you feel safe, comfortable and speak your truth because it is the greatest thing you can do for yourself and your life.

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.

Sharen is an incredible therapist who cares for her clients and offers great insight
Sharen is an amazing therapist who brings warmth, understanding, and a great sense of humor to every session. She has a unique way of making me feel at ease, even when discussing difficult topics, and her humor adds a lightness that makes the process so much more comfortable. One of the most valuable things she’s taught me is how to use the 'gorilla fist,' a technique that has been a game-changer for managing stress and anxiety. Sharen’s combination of empathy, wisdom, and practical tools has truly helped me grow, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support.
Sharen has been really supportive and caring
Sharen is absolutely amazing, she has truly helped me through hard times and she continues encourages me to become a better version of myself. She is truly an angel and anyone who works with her is lucky to have her as a therapist.
Great therapist
Sharen Robertson is an extraordinary therapist who has helped and continues to help me weekly. Her supportive skills are multifaceted and run deep. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Sharen has transformed my life. I approached her at a particularly low point, believing that no one could help me due to my lack of confidence, feelings of inadequacy, and the added issues of all things perimenopausal! Through our sessions, she has totally changed my life around and empowered me. Now, I can honestly say that I am the most confident and happiest I've ever been in my life. I eagerly anticipate each day and cherish our sessions. I tell her everything and she doesn’t judge as she makes you feel so comfortable. I’m constantly learning about how my brain works and find out sessions fascinating as well as therapeutic. Sharen always listens attentively, and her advice and knowledge is invaluable. While I've seen several psychologists since the age of 18, none have compared to Sharen. Highly HIGHLY recommend.
Sharen is just wonderful, she’s kind, supportive and caring. She really checks in on you when you need it and makes the time and effort for you especially when you are struggling. She really listens to you and supports you and has such an extensive understanding of certain things you go through. She’s really smart, well educated and really brings things going on in your life to perspective. Would highly recommend!
Sharen is the best therapist I've ever had. For the first time in my life, I’m making real progress in growing into the person I want to be. She has supported me through perhaps the darkest period in my life, and I’ve come out stronger. I’m so grateful for Sharen and her years of expertise.
Awesome, made me very comfortable and was particularly helpful with my ADHD problems!
Sharen is wonderful, she’s honestly a great therapist. If I’m ever feeling like I can’t carry on she calls me and tells me she is here and I’m not alone. She is extremely caring and kind and I’m really grateful for her.
She is very supportive and guide me a lot in my goals
Sharen is BRILLIANT!!! Its like talking through with your best mate. She explains why things make you think a certain way in really simple terms so you can turn your problems and worries into a challenge to conquer so you feel empowered. Every session I leave feeling so much better. There is no judgement, just encouragement. Shes actually made me really interested in how the brain works. Cant rate her enough!
I am extremely thankful to have Sharen as my therapist. She supported me throughout very difficult times and was always there for me. We established a strong bond and I don’t know where I would have been without her. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you so much!
Sharen is amazing, she is so good at listening, asking the best questions, guiding to a solution, and giving carefully thought advice. She is always there with the kind attention. I am so grateful I've been matched with her. She is the best therapist ever!
