Unlock Potential with Therapy for Adolescents

Hi! My name is Sharon Godfrey-Garcia. I am a Colorado Springs native who loves my community and the people who live here! For the past decade, I have been working with kids, ages 3-18 as a school counselor and as a licensed professional counseling candidate. I am excited to continue my career as a counselor as an LPC here at Overcomers. I love working with children, adolescents, and adults. I strive to create a therapy environment that is comfortable, open, fun, and most of all, allows for growth and the ability to learn skills that will help you or your child to thrive in all areas! If you would like more information about how I can help with depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, relationship issues, and more, please reach out.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness.

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

I strongly admire all that social work represents, from relationship building and self-determination to skill strengthening and empowerment, as well as cultivating agency and self-advocacy among individuals and communities, and highlighting the importance of putting systems theory into practice. I apply this concept and consider the biological, psychological, and social-environmental influences on clients and the community. I also recognize and apply the framework of intersectionality as it relates to my clients. Emphasizing a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist lens while engaging in therapy. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado Mesa University in 2019. I then graduated from Colorado State University with a master's degree in social work in 2021.
