History
Established in 1990.
Sharona Stone, MEd, LCSW, DCH started a career helping people when she earned her first Masters in Child Development, recognizing the importance of understanding healthy development as a foundation for working with people of all ages. Firmly believing that people continue to grow and develop throughout their lives as long as they are open to this possibility. Recognizing 97% of the population grew up in dysfunctional families and struggle with «What is a healthy relationship?» She believes many people plateau in their lives, they stop growing, simply because they lack frames of reference about «What is normal?» and the tools for achieving more satisfying lives. Dr. Sharona encourages her clients to think about therapy being a course «Life 101» when there is an awareness of missing some basic life skills. Sometimes people seek therapy because they have reached a «tipping point,» an awareness that doing more of the same at best produces the same results or at worst, digs a deeper hole.
