I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed by the state of Michigan. I have over 35 years of experience counseling clients, with depression, anxiety, addiction, lifestyle adjustments, trauma, and grief/loss. I have worked in Community Mental Health, Outpatient Therapy, Residential Addiction Treatment and in a Maximum Security Prison. Also, I have worked as an Adjunct College Professor. As a therapist, I value being emphatic, attentive, and respectful to all races, religions, and sexual orientations.
I realize that beginning therapy may be unsettling. Yet, it is a testament to your courage and self-determination to begin therapy to address experiences, that are often painful or difficult to share with family and friends. As therapy is a collaborative journey, I will commit to joining with you through the change process.
In our first session, I would like you to get to know me. We all live in a fast paced world and at times we need someone to listen to our story and be empathetic. I am compassionate about helping people, as being human, I have had my own struggles and disappointments. However, I will not just listen to you, but I will provide you with best practice interventions in my therapeutic approach. And, I will provide an atmosphere where you are comfortable with sharing your concerns.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy to identify problem areas you would like to change, and then use Solution-Focused Therapy to set goals to achieve those changes. Continuing throughout therapy, I will utilize Motivational Interviewing to keep your focus upon ways your life can be better, with working through your challenges in therapy.
Also, I am comfortable with providing therapy, using Christian Principles in concert with my Therapeutic Modalities.
It is an honor and privilege to use my talents and education, in a profession, that I am passionate about. I look forward to working with you!

Sharon has been extremely helpful in helping me identify my anxieties and stressors and find the tools to manage them. She is personal, interactive, insightful, and open during our sessions. Her experience and expertise are clear in our conversations and I find myself looking forward to our sessions every week. She is encouraging and supportive but also firm when needed - I have gained more from our sessions than with any other therapist I have seen.

I was in a really dark place before I contacted Sharon. I hated my life to put it simply. She helped encourage me to see a psychiatrist and get the help I need. I got on medication and she taught me ways to help cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Its not all sunshine and rainbows now, it won't be for you either more than likely, because no matter what life will always throw stress your way, but she taught me how to cope with it and not let it consume me. And im not depressed anymore, and I dont hate my life anymore, and I finally am starting to believe everything is going to be okay for me.

I was a little hesitant about Ms. Calhoun initially and me attending counseling altogether. Despite my reservations I’m glad I have her and counseling the opportunity to help me. We’ve only had 2 sessions and a big breakthrough has occurred. I’m thankful for her expertise but more importantly her empathy and compassion. I felt very comfortable and was able to be transparent. I believe she is a blessing to my life and I’m so thankful. She’s God fearing and very easy to talk to. I’m so glad I’m so fortunate.
