Sharon F. Hester, MS, LPCshe/her/hers
|
I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have over 10 years of therapy experience. In my work at Rooted Acorn Counseling, I focus on LGBTQ+ communities, identity, adolescence, values, addiction as well as grief and loss. My biggest passion is working with the LGBTQ+ youth and young adult community. I specialize in those life challenges happening at this time of life. These may include depression, anxiety, identity development, academic stress, coming out, and family conflict. I also provide therapy for parents of adolescents as well as adults. Values I bring to the therapy room are authenticity, humor, compassion, and courage. A priority of mine is to hold a space that is accepting and warm, so folks feel comfortable to show up just as they are.
When I am not working or reading about psychology, I enjoy reading about food justice and social issues. My favorite things are gardening, record collecting and listening to music as well as traveling with my partner and pup, Ozark Blue. Although I do not get there as often as I would like, one of my favorite places is my hometown beach. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy living in Colorado and love the mountains here, and there’s some space I keep open in my heart for the ocean. Land Acknowledgement, Located on the Land of: We at Rooted Acorn Counseling acknowledge that we practice, move and exist uninvited on the traditional land of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and Očhéthi akówiŋ, now known as Colorado. This acknowledgement only becomes meaningful when combined with accountable relationships and informed actions. This acts only as a first step in honoring the land we operate on. We continue to honor the people, elders, and indigenous ancestors of this land. |
