About Sharla “Charlie” Harrison

As a licensed therapist in Missouri with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassionate, personalized care.

I have extensive expertise in addressing women’s issues, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and personal growth. My approach is deeply attuned to the unique experiences of individuals across different life stages—from young adults to midlife challenges.

My therapeutic work focuses on healing from past experiences, building self-esteem, improving communication, and developing meaningful connections. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, overcome barriers, and rediscover their inner strength.

I’m committed to walking alongside my clients, offering guidance that respects their individual journey and empowers them to create positive, sustainable change in their lives.
