Direct Phone: (716) 338 - 4662
Are you feeling stuck and don't know what to do or where to go? Have all your old ways of coping stopped working? Life can be overwhelming at times and we all need support and guidance along our life journey. Sometimes we need more than what our family and friends can provide. When life circumstances hurt it is beneficial to be able to confide in another that is safe, empathetic and understanding. I can help you uncover your inner strengths and develop new skills so you can experience a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I enjoy helping others with their life's struggles through the therapy process. I have worked with those struggling with various mental, behavioral and emotional difficulties including; anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, trauma, and sexual abuse. I use evidenced based practices that address your symptoms and the treatment plan is individualized to your unique needs. I believe every person is worthy of achieving their maximum potential in relationships, work, and life overall. Life's challenges can often be opportunities for growth. Whether it's a stressful life transition or unresolved emotional trauma, I can guide you through this process of change. Sharon is a participating provider of BlueCross/BlueShield, Fidelis, IHA, and Univera.

Megan Kerr, LCSW
Direct Phone: (716) 697-5767
Deciding that you need therapy can be a difficult step, but a life changing step. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Buffalo Area. I provide a non-judgmental and safe environment to help you accomplish your goals. My mission is to help clients navigate the struggles and challenges of life while reminding them to celebrate their strengths and successes.
I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depressions, trauma, grief, addiction, mood disorders, psychosis, OCD, and difficulty adjusting to life stressors. My therapy approach is compassionate and collaborative, providing a supportive environment to identify and challenge the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.
By working together, we can create an individualized plan that works for you and helps promote the change you want to see in your life. I believe that while all individuals possess the ability to be healthy and happy, sometimes life events, obstacles or unhealthy patterns cause us to lose confidence in our ability to achieve our goals. The right support can elevate hope and get us back on track. I do have a therapy dog as well that can be used in sessions and be of great benefit for some clients. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in an we can discuss this further.
