Olufemi Sharp

Embracing the ancient wisdom of energy healing and the cutting-edge science of trauma-informed care, Olufemi Sharp, MA, LPC, stands at the intersection of traditional and modern therapeutic approaches. As a licensed psychotherapist, sage energy healer, mindfulness trainer, and developmental trauma expert, Olufemi offers a unique blend of services that address the complexities of the human experience.

Olufemi's practice, rooted in a holistic understanding of mental health, focuses on individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, anger, emotion regulation, poor communication skills, developmental trauma, and lack of emotional intimacy. Her approach is particularly attuned to those who find themselves cycling through old patterned behaviors and faulty thinking that no longer serve their highest good. By combining evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices with energy healing and shadow-parts work, Olufemi creates a therapeutic experience that nurtures mind, body, and spirit.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, Olufemi's expertise has been shaped by a rich tapestry of global influences. Her journey of learning has taken her from the drumbeats of West Africa to the meditative practices of Thailand and China, infusing her work with a multicultural perspective on healing. This diverse background allows her to offer a truly integrative approach, drawing from both Western psychological theories and Eastern healing traditions.

Olufemi is deeply committed to providing positive affirming counseling to marginalized identities, making her an LGBTQIA and BIPOC affirming therapist. Her practice extends beyond individual therapy to include couples counseling, addressing issues such as marital conflicts, open relationships, and ethical non-monogamous partnering. She brings warmth, directness, and wisdom to her sessions, offering actionable steps and clear feedback to guide clients toward their goals.

In addition to her private practice, Olufemi has recently expanded her reach by offering small group workshops. These sessions are designed to introduce concepts of healing to a broader audience, encouraging participants to be "tuned up, tapped in, and turned on" – a motto that encapsulates her approach to mindfulness and emotional regulation. Through these workshops and her individual sessions, Olufemi aims to empower clients to shed the emotional baggage of the past, regulate their emotions, and create what she describes as a "phenomenal, amazing life."

Olufemi Sharp's therapeutic approach is not just about managing symptoms; it's about transformation. She believes in the capacity for self-healing and living a dynamic life beyond one's dreams. With a combination of humor, unconditional acceptance, authenticity, and empathy, Olufemi guides her clients through the process of uncovering their authentic selves and achieving emotional freedom. Her practice stands as a testament to the power of integrating diverse healing modalities, offering a path to wholeness that is as unique as each individual she serves.
