My name is

Alison Sharp,

and I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in Ontario and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York.

Trauma resiliency and EMDR therapy offered virtually for women and queer folks in Ontario and New York.

Become Your Most Empowered Self

This is your path towards improved mental health. You don’t deserve to feel overwhelmed and lost in your journey toward wellness, rather you deserve to live a fulfilling and peaceful life. I understand how daunting it is to face mental health challenges alone. With over 10 years of experience and a specialization in trauma therapy, I’m here to guide you towards healing. You have the capacity to take control of your life, build resiliency and live empowered and confident. I understand that asking for help can be difficult, but you don’t have to struggle without a roadmap any longer. Do not miss out on the support you deserve. Begin your journey to healing now.

Anti-oppressive and trauma-informed mental health services personalized for you.

  • What is the cost for services?
    Sessions range from $150-$175 in your local currency. Please contact me for sliding scale inquiries.
  • Do you take insurance?
    For clients in Ontario, I provide receipts for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. While most insurance providers cover services from a Registered Social Worker (RSW), it is important that you verify this information. For clients in New York, I accept Aetna, United Healthcare, Oscar, Oxford and Quest Behavioral Health. If I do not accept your insurance, you may have out-of-network benefits in your insurance plan. This means you can get back a large portion of our session fees as reimbursement and I will provide you with the necessary documentation for submission.
  • What can I expect in the first session?
    The first therapy session is where we begin to get to know one another and create a shared understanding of what brought you to therapy and how you would like for things to be different. I will follow your lead as to what is important for you to share about yourself, and ask some additional questions to build my understanding of your circumstance. We will also begin to identify goals for therapy and possible pathways towards them. While it is my goal to help you make changes in the shortest amount of time, therapy is not a one-session experience. I aim for you to leave each session with something useful to integrate into your day to day, but it is also common for psychological shifts to be more obvious only after some time.

Take the first step towards your healing journey.
