Gootter Counseling & Psychotherapy
Shari Gootter, MA, LPC, CRC
Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a therapeutic relationship must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty.

Counseling and psychotherapy creates an opportunity for self-actualization, exploration and empowerment. Working through this reflective process allows for understanding, awareness, insight & healing.
My practice is inspired by person centered therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psycho-dynamic and strengths-based therapy. I enjoy working with clients of all ages.
Additionally I have taught yoga for 17 years, and facilitate personal flexibility, awareness, and empowerment in both my yoga and therapeutic practices. My approach is collaborative and holistic, utilizing various modalities and mindfulness practices.
