Sharon Arfa

, LMFT

Clinical Supervisor

Sharon has a wealth of experience working with clients from a multitude of backgrounds. However, she has found a passion for helping individuals and couples with relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions. Sharon is a certified in EMDR, and also AACAST certified couples and sex therapist. She currently serves as one of our clinical supervisors in Los Angeles, supervising many of our associate therapists.

Sharon is a seasoned clinician, who is empathetic, resourceful, and caring. Sharon uses integrative and collaborative approaches to help clients navigate difficult life circumstances and develop healthy relationships. She enjoys working collectively with our associate therapists, incorporating the latest research and evidence based practices and skills.

Many may not know that: Sharon is an artist at heart. A career assessment she took in high school suggested she pursue a career in the creative or performing arts. Sharon was a makeup artist at 18 years old, but couldn’t accept early morning jobs on movie sets because of her busy college schedule. Luckily, she sees effective therapy as integration of art and science.
