You’ve taken time to look for help. Let’s make that effort matter.
Integrative therapy for healing, change, and growth.
It’s not a breaking point, it’s a change point
Hi, I’m Sharon Manning, LICSW. I work with women navigating midlife—the messy, meaningful, in-between spaces where so much is shifting.
With 17 years of clinical experience, I help people find their footing in the midst of change, loss, and the lingering effects of trauma. The work often involves making sense of what has happened, developing compassion for what endures, and discovering grounded ways to meet what life is asking now.
What if healing begins with trusting that some part of you already knows how to come back to center—even if it’s hard to find right now?
Therapy is a collaborative dialogue that weaves reflection and application—examining how past and present shape each other, and supporting emotional and nervous-system balance as you navigate change in daily life.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, CBT, mindfulness-based practices, and transpersonal perspectives to support both emotional healing and nervous-system balance.
Therapy can help uncover how mind, body, and emotion naturally move toward balance—and how to work with that process rather than against it.
You are not just what keeps you stuck-
let’s think about how you change.
About the work
This therapy process is trauma-informed, depth-oriented, and guided by respect for each person’s inner process.
Some of the frameworks and tools often included are:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – exploring your inner landscape with compassion
EMDR – supporting the resolution of traumatic memories and the rewiring of emotional patterns
Mindfulness-based practices – cultivating awareness, presence, and emotional regulation
CBT and somatic strategies – managing anxiety, stress, and nervous-system overload
Transpersonal and psychodynamic perspectives – engaging questions of meaning, identity, and growth
Whether the focus is on processing trauma, clarifying direction, or simply finding room to breathe, therapy becomes a space to reconnect with what feels genuine and alive.
Therapy for When Life Feels Overwhelming
What if this moment isn’t a problem to solve, but an invitation to explore what sustains you?
Periods of burnout, stress, shifting relationships, or physical and emotional change can all signal a need for deeper alignment.
Therapy offers space to ask what these experiences are showing you—to trace the connection between past and present, regulate an overworked nervous system, and gain perspective on what’s unfolding now.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. It’s okay to start small—therapy can begin with a single, honest conversation.
If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out to schedule a brief consultation call.
