Be Still & Notice that Every Person Deserves Well-Being

Online Mental Health Counseling for Adults, Adolescents, or Children (in English)

Whether mental health counseling, leadership coaching, or social and emotional leadership programs for student growth, I am genuinely committed to the well-being experience of my clients.

I offer online therapy in English for all ages. The majority of the clients I serve are either expats or expat families in Europe.

Counseling & Consultation

There are 3 major areas that mental health concerns most often relate to: 1) Understanding One’s Family of Origin 2) Emotional Intelligence and 3) Autonomy & Identity Development

My professional counseling experience includes work with people in each of those “Big 3” areas, including the following subcategories to those: Conflict and Reconciliation, Social, Emotional, & Team Leadership Skills for Youth, Cross-Cultural Life & Expat Challenges, Being a Person of Faith in Post-Faith Contexts, Acute or Chronic Stress, Anxiety and Depression, Accumulated Grief from Pain and Loss in Life, People Wrestling with Guilt and Shame in Life, or Leadership Innovation.

More About Your Counselor & Professional Referrals

Originally from the United States, I am currently based in Athens, Greece and Sofia, Bulgaria. I am a mental health professional providing online counseling sessions in English for adults, adolescents, and children through my private practice, Sharrett Counseling. My clients are of all ages, and they are mostly living as expats in Europe.

I am a lifelong learner with graduate degrees in counseling psychology and psychotherapy, educational leadership, and theological studies from universities in Chicago, Athens, and Tennessee. I have lived in four European cities, including Sofia, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Tirana. My 10+ years of counseling experience and my other professional career experience includes work as an international school educator, a professional athlete, a pastoral counselor in hospital settings, and a coordinator of cross-cultural learning programs for leadership innovation and mental health.

I also collaborate with teams of professionals to provide research-driven mental health initiatives for expats or locals in Europe and around the world through two innovative counseling centers.

1) The Colloquy Communities Counseling Center provides online mental health counseling and leadership training for international people, adults and youth alike. Colloquy includes a counseling center that serves expats and locals in Europe, a youth leadership initiative named the Colloquy Leadership School for Youth for ages 8-18, and mental health workshops and retreats.

2) The Cyclical Europe Counseling Center is a specialized Christian counseling center that provides mental health counseling and leadership coaching for people who have been wounded “by” or “for” the Church or religion, including Christian leaders or people of faith living in cross-cultural contexts.
