Infertility
Sharon Humphrey
Individuals come to therapy because they want something different in their lives. I believe that therapy is about transformation and enjoy working with individuals who are looking to evolve and grow, to understand themselves and their motivations so that they can make lasting changes. Whether you feel motivated to do so now right now or are hoping to find that motivation, therapy can help.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, pregnancy loss, fertility issues, and insomnia. My training has been rigorous and I am well-versed in several modalities. You are a unique individual. Therefore, my approach with you is personalized. What you can always expect is warmth, genuine empathy, and a non-judgmental stance.
It is an honor and a privilege to walk beside you as we work together to form lasting, positive change. The most important thing is that we have a strong therapeutic relationship as this will form the basis for healing.
Pregnancy Loss Skills and Support Group
This small, intimate support group is for women who have experienced
miscarriage, involuntary abortion, stillbirth, or early infant loss. The
hope is that participants will feel connected and supported through this
group as they begin to understand and adjust to the many challenging
feelings that develop once a pregnancy or infant is lost.
Strict confidentiality is maintained and participation in the discussion is
completely optional. Sometimes, just being with others who have had a
similar experience can be comforting.
Losing a baby is an isolating and devastating experience. We support
bereaved mothers by naming the incredible challenges they are
experiencing, knowing that this group is one of the few places they can
speak the truth about the depth of their emotions and the details of their
experience.
Couples Institute Counseling
Our group of expert therapists specializes in counseling services for couples and individuals throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and online. We help couples overcome difficulties and evolve as individuals and as a team; increasing understanding and love.
The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy explains normal and natural stages and struggles that growing couples encounter. The model provides a structure for couples therapy by identifying the developmental tasks, developmental stalemates, diagnosis and specific treatment interventions for each stage of development.
When Ellyn and Pete’s first book, “In Quest of the Mythical Mate” was first published in 1988, the theory of couples going through stages with predictable challenges and opportunities for growth was a new one. Since then it has been widely accepted, and the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model continues to grow and incorporate new depths of understanding.
