Healing Thrives with Quality Time and Good Company
Traditional talk therapy is helpful, but maybe a more creative & expressive approach sounds more appealing to you.
Therapy with Thyme & Co. Counseling may be for you (or your child) if...
You're a creative person struggling with using your creativity to make life enjoyable again
You're feeling disconnected to who you are - or who you used to be since...
experiencing a life changing event;
becoming a parent;
starting a new job or school;
moving to a new city;
dealing with grief and loss;
OR entering a new relationship or stage in your relationship (engagement, marriage)
You're noticing that you've been more tense and touchy recently and it's impacting your relationships and focus on your goals
You're struggling with physical health issues that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere (turns out, it's from repressed emotions and trauma)
You want to learn how to feel connected in your body through movement and your senses
You're feeling overwhelmed and burnout from masking all day
You're up all night with racing thoughts about the past and future
You believe that you'll be happy when everyone around you is happy with you
You feel there's been so much going on and like you haven't been able to catch your breath
You're interested in finding ways to be creative, confident and connected with culture & ancestors in the company of your friends and loved ones
You're a foodie and want to cook & create with your therapist :)
You deserve to feel connected to yourself & your Environment
Hi, My name is Shara - I am a licensed psychotherapist in South Florida!
Life sure knows how to test and challenge our abilities, and sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost or disconnected. As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will build a safe and comfortable space where you can be yourself, without judgement. We'll dig into what's going on, not just in your head, but also how it shows up in your body and your relationships.
We'll explore those intense emotions, family dynamics, and complex feelings you're struggling to understand and communicate. Processing in therapy isn't only verbal, so I enjoy using activities, like cooking and mindful movement, to help you feel grounded and find some real relief. I can use all the fancy clinical terms, but what's most important is helping you find your way back to yourself and the connections that matter most - with quality time and good company.

Let's talk about what to expect in therapy with Thyme & Co. Counseling:
First, we will schedule an initial 15 minute call to discuss and questions you have, your concerns for therapy and to determine if we are the right provider for you.
Second, we will meet weekly or bi-weekly, or for intensive sessions to begin working on your concerns, together and at your pace. We will establish a plan that addresses your symptoms and provides space to process and establish skills to help you achieve your goals, at the comfort of your couch or kitchen (or wherever you choose to log into your telehealth session, as long as it has secure internet connection and you feel comfortable and have privacy).
Finally, we will establish a therapeutic relationship which fosters quality time and good company, providing you with the insight, guidance and confidence to engage in fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
