About Sharon
Sharon M Swigart is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She helps adults and teenagers who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, parenting challenges, and depression. Sharon keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier sooner.
She draws on two well-known approaches in her work: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and Internal Family Systems, which helps people understand different parts of themselves. Those methods are used to address mood problems, panic symptoms, relationship patterns, and the effects of past abuse.
In sessions she aims for an open, nonjudgmental space. Clients set the pace and Sharon offers grounding tools when emotions feel overwhelming. Conversations focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the room.
Sharon has long experience helping people work through difficult family dynamics, including blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, codependency, body image, guilt, and shame.
Her practice includes work with aging and geriatric issues, veterans and armed forces concerns, men's issues, and mood disorders. People in California can expect practical guidance and the chance to shape therapy around their goals.
