Sharon, you really helped us when we were all trying our best but not understanding how to help ourselves or what was really happening with our son’s anxiety. I have never been so relieved and thankful for the support and help you gave to our son, and to our family. We learned so much through that and will maintain our awareness and personal growth. We will think of you often and look forward to keeping in touch through your weekly emails and blog, too.

Our 15 year old son was struggling with anxiety but he’s now doing so well and said he’s the happiest he’s ever been in his life.

My daughter was struggling with anxiety and it was getting to the point where it was beginning to affect her and our life on a daily basis. If she knew she was going to be outside of her comfort zone she would start to panic and focus on something in an obsessive and negative way in anticipation of the upcoming situation. She was the most anxious she had ever been when she started the six week anxiety management course with Sharon. She loved Sharon immediately and felt very comfortable with her. She has learned through Sharon why she may feel this way and how to use skills to help her cope better. I wondered how much she might absorb as a six-year-old but she seems to be able to remember and use what Sharon has taught her. As she was taking the course her anxiety decreased dramatically. When she begins to get anxious again we use the skills she has learned and talk about how she can manage and cope with the things that are bothering her. I have also learned how to help her. Our experience with Sharon has been invaluable. My daughter says she is the best teacher she has ever had! Thanks Sharon.
