Sharon is amazing. I originally signed up to get help with OCD but after a session with Sharon I was pointed into a different direction. After getting assessed I was able to get treated for ADD. I feel 100% like myself again, happy and positive. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone just starting therapy or looking for help with being diagnosed.
