About
Sharon Roth, LMHC – Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I am a private practice licensed mental health counselor serving clients through telehealth in Florida. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change for you. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and help you realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
Fun facts about me: I am an artist who loves the ocean. I spent a semester in college studying humpback whales in Hawai’i. I taught Hawaiian teens to continue their tradition of gourd dying. I was an evacuee of the 2018 volcanic eruption on the island of Hawai’i when I lost my home there and became homeless overnight. I am no stranger to hardship. I have met many obstacles in my life and found healthy ways to survive and overcome them. I did not do any of these things without help and guidance. I believe in therapy, and I believe in the ability to change, and I know you can too if you take the right steps. Therapy is just one step forward. It is the beginning of change.
Treatment Approach
I use a variety of approaches to address my clients’ needs. Many successful treatment plans will utilize a foundation of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Informed interventions. Then quickly move toward a tailored treatment plan and approach that includes tools to help sustain growth on your path to wellness. I am a trained EMDR therapist. EMDR can be applied via telehealth.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals who practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential, both individually and in their relationships.
“The past affects the present even without our being aware of it.”
