Professional Counseling

Life can feel heavy, messy, and overwhelming — but you don’t have to carry it alone. Counseling here is designed to be practical, faith‑friendly, and even a little fun. We’ll laugh, we’ll learn, and we’ll build tools that help you breathe easier and live with more confidence.

My Counseling Style

I’m eclectic — which means I pull from different approaches depending on what works best for you. Two of my favorites:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you notice and change unhelpful thought patterns.

  • Acceptance Commitment Training (ACT): Teaches you how to accept what you can’t control and commit to what matters most.

Together, we’ll mix practical skills with encouragement, so you leave each session with something you can actually use in real life.

Who is Sharon?

I’m Sharon — a mom, wife, experienced teacher, former school counselor, and mental health advocate.

  • Mom & Wife: I know firsthand the chaos, joy, and challenges of family life.

  • Teacher & Counselor: With years in the classroom and counseling office, I’ve walked alongside kids, teens, and families through stress, anxiety, and growth.

  • Mental Health Advocate: I believe in practical tools, honest conversations, and faith‑rooted encouragement that help people thrive.

My heart is to create safe spaces where kids, teens, and adults can learn to calm anxiety, build confidence, and discover their worth. Counseling isn’t just about problems — it’s about equipping you with skills to live with more peace and purpose.

 FAQs

  • Not at all. Some people cry, some people laugh, some people just talk. Counseling is about showing up as you are. If tears come, they’re welcome. If they don’t, that’s perfectly fine too.

  • That’s okay! We’ll start with a free 20‑minute phone consult so you can ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit. I’ll walk you through what to expect so there are no surprises.

  • Right in the heart of Colorado Springs. For client safety, I don’t list our exact address publicly, but I’ll provide it during your consult meeting.

  • Counseling is self‑pay. Individual sessions are $45, group sessions are $25 per week. You’ll keep a card on file for easy billing. If you’d like, I can provide a superbill so you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

  • Yes! If you pay in full before the first group session, you’ll receive a 10% discount. Additionally, if you refer a client and they complete a session with me, you will get a $10 discount on your next completed session.

  • Absolutely. You can choose telehealth sessions from the comfort of your home, or meet in person if you prefer.

  • Groups are small, supportive, and run for 8–9 weeks. Each week we focus on practical tools, encouragement, and shared experiences. You’ll leave with skills and a sense of community.

    Fun Fact: Groups are one of my favorite parts of counseling!

  • Life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations less than 24 hours before your appointment, or no‑shows, will be charged the full session rate.

  • Most clients meet weekly. That rhythm helps build momentum and keeps progress steady.

  • Yes, please! Counseling is better with your favorite (non-alcoholic) drink in hand. But, no food please.

  • Sometimes — but it’s not boring worksheets. Think short, practical practices you can try in real life, like a new script or a calming tool.

  • That’s fine too. Some sessions are skill‑heavy, others are simply space to process. Both are valuable.

Why Choose Salt & Arrows Counseling?

Because counseling doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. Here, you’ll find:

  • A safe space to be honest.

  • Practical tools you can use right away.

  • Encouragement that feels real, not scripted.
