From the outside, you appear to have it all together… Yet on the inside, you may feel like you're barely holding it together. You may feel stuck in a relationship, a job, or your own life. Hi, I'm Seema. I help clients of all ages learn to set boundaries, voice what they want and need, and work on self-esteem issues. My clients come to me for many issues, ranging from depression, anxiety, relationships, chronic dating, family issues, dissociative disorders, to painful childhoods. I strive to create an alliance where we work together so you can freely explore anything that's on your mind and transform into your ideal future self.

As a holistic trauma therapist, I help clients live the life they want through a deep exploration of their patterns, relationships, & coping skills, using diverse healing modalities; however, in the end, simply being heard by a compassionate, neutral, empathic witness can be a powerful start in your healing journey.

I believe all humans are connected, with their own unique paths - filled with their own feelings, histories, strengths, and struggles. Sometimes, we can feel alone in our journey. Reconnecting to our deep inner wisdom is vital to our overall well-being. If you're ready to feel less alone, grounded, and more connected, Let's take this journey together.

Out of Network

Due to the clients I serve, I operate a practice that does not panel with insurance companies. I am more than happy to provide a Superbill, upon request. However, it is important to understand the information that must then be shared with insurance companies and its impact.

What do all of these credentials even mean? So many times clients come to because of the initials after my name or the credential I received, but, in actuality, that is not as important as my ability to be empathetic, non-judgmental, honest, & direct.... which then creates transformation.

I believe that holistic well-being incorporates the mind, body, and soul. When we are struggling, it affects all parts of us. It affects the way we operate in the world, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves. Healing then requires we address not only the mind, but the body, and the impact on our soul or spirit.

Virtual Workplace Challenges Support Group

Hosted by

Seema Sharma

High-performing professionals lack the same systems of protection within an organization. Especially for marginalized populations, speaking up and advocating for oneself simply isn't a possibility. Moving forward requires the engagement of a trauma-focused psychotherapist intimately aware of the nuances of corporate trauma, especially for high-performing executives & professionals. After 25+ years in Senior Leadership at Fortune 500 companies, I understand this group of women. Group therapy provides space to process the many variables of victimization within a company that impact your overall wellbeing, professionally and personally.
