Sharon Sheppard, LMFT-S

LIFE CAN BE BETTER.

I’m a licensed therapist and trauma specialist based in Wake Forest, NC. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and trauma-focused work for those who are navigating the lasting impacts of past experiences. 
 
Becoming a therapist was a second career for me, and I understand firsthand how healing from difficult experiences can transform your life. In my early 30s, I sought therapy for my own struggles. My therapist recognized the weight of my past and offered a lifeline. Together, we worked through the pain, and though it took time, I found the freedom to live a more fulfilling life, no longer held back by past trauma.
 
It’s this personal experience that drives my passion for therapy. I know, not just from training, but from real-life healing, that trauma therapy works. I WAS YOU, and now, as a therapist, I have the tools and training to guide you through your own journey toward healing, whether as an individual or as a couple. 
 
Whether you’re dealing with past trauma or trying to reconnect with your partner, it’s not an easy process, but it is possible. Together, we’ll explore the root of what’s getting in the way of your happiness and peace, so you can build stronger relationships and a more fulfilling life. My approach is interactive and collaborative, and I am deeply engaged in your healing process every step of the way.

EMDR is my primary tool to help you process your trauma, but I also use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Narrative Therapy.

I’d love to work with you or support you in any way I can so please contact me with additional questions or to schedule an appointment.

In addition to my client services, I supervise and train MFT graduate students and provisionally licensed MFTs (LMFTA) as a AAMFT Approved Supervisor and provide digital content for mental health professionals.

I look forward to supporting you and perhaps, meeting you one day soon.
