Shagun Sharma

I work with children (12+), adolescents, and adults from various backgrounds and cultures. I have worked in various positions in the mental health field, such as: Crisis Counselling, Suicide Prevention, and Crisis Responder.  I have also been trained in various frameworks and continue to engage in trainings, workshops and courses. I believe I have an active responsibility to engage in learning opportunities to best support my clients.

My main frameworks are Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My overall approach is to guide and support the client as they reflect on events, people, and experiences that have contributed to their story. Through understanding the history and different intersectional influences on the presented issue, the client and I will work together to process and productively find the appropriate course of action.

​

My professional experience includes working with a wide range of therapeutic issues, including:

• Depression*

• Trauma, CPTSD, and PTSD*

• Anxiety*

• Borderline Personality Disorder

• Attachment Styles

• Narcissistic Relationships/Dynamics

• Generational Trauma

• Grief/Bereavement

My overall approach is eclectic, and I use techniques and ideas from different frameworks. Some

• Narrative Therapy

• Internal Family Systems

• Mindfulness-based therapies

• Bereavement/Grief Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Trauma Focused CBT
