About the Counselor

From Sharon O'Connell M.A.
My first psychotherapy office was opened in 1994 and, since then, I have been in private practice treating men, women, adolescents, couples, families and groups.

I am both a licensed mental health counselor and a certified chemical dependency specialist level II. I specialize in several areas of treatment. Among them:

I use a broad and eclectic range of therapeutic modalities from brief therapy as well as longer-term psychodynamic, insight-oriented methods.

My education includes two Masters degrees, one in Psychology and another in Theater, and a B.A. in Philosophy and Art. I became certified in Chemical Dependency through the Northwest Indian Drug and Alcohol Certification Board.

Education:
B.A., Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Art, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington, 1983
M.A., Theatre, Dramatic Literature, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA 1988
M.A., Psychology, Antioch University, Seattle, WA 1993
