Alison Sharp

Alison Sharp believes that many individuals reach a point in their lives where the old methods of coping with challenges—such as substance abuse, avoidance, and blaming—are no longer sustainable. Recognizing that the size of one's problems is irrelevant, she emphasizes the importance of discovering new ways to cope. With a strong conviction that recovery from mental health issues is possible, Alison encourages her clients to envision the life they aspire to rather than fleeing from what they wish to escape. For those who feel engulfed by darkness and yearn to experience light once more, Alison advocates for the transformative power of therapy. Her practice is inclusive, welcoming adults from all walks of life facing any mental health concerns, with a particular emphasis on addiction, aging, grief, end-of-life challenges, and LGBT+ issues. Moreover, Alison adeptly addresses underlying issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family dysfunction, and relationship problems. She understands that the journey to change can be daunting, and she stands by her clients, providing support as they embark on the courageous path toward creating a fulfilling life. The first step may feel overwhelming, but with Alison's guidance, recognizing the potential for change becomes a powerful source of motivation and hope.
