Professional statement

Sharon Brooke Uy, LMFT (#113109) and board-certified art therapist (#21-359), is a compassionate therapist providing specialized care through ketamine therapy, psychedelic integration, and creative modalities like art therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and parts work. She works with individuals throughout California, offering virtual therapy to support clients in overcoming self-limiting patterns and unlocking personal freedom through creative expression and spiritual insight.

Sharon’s therapy approach is rooted in the belief that each individual holds the key to their own healing. Through tailored therapeutic processes, she empowers her clients to explore their emotions, memories, and identities to foster deeper self-understanding and growth. Her work blends traditional psychotherapeutic techniques with creative and somatic tools, facilitating healing on multiple levels.

With a background in both art therapy and mental health counseling, Sharon has honed her skills in working with clients who seek personal transformation, often in the context of trauma, addiction, or self-actualization. She has worked in diverse clinical settings and brings a wealth of experience to her private practice.

Sharon’s office is virtual, allowing her to offer flexibility to clients across California. She is available for both in-depth therapy sessions and brief consultations, providing a safe, supportive environment for clients to explore and heal. Sessions can be conducted remotely, ensuring access to high-quality therapeutic care regardless of location.


Message to clients

Hi! If you're reading this, chances are you're feeling stuck trying to figure out who you are or who you aren't, what you want and what you no longer need, and you want to free up precious energy that's been, for too long, spent suffering. You've had enough, and now you're willing to show up, bare yourself, and in turn be seen and heard, validated and challenged. I am committed to providing a safe place where you can let it all out, and where I can help you uncover new tools, dust off old ones, and build a solid foundation for positive and lasting change.

I believe in our inherent ability to recognize and access our true nature as one of peace. The work of going inward is by no means a cakewalk, but that doesn't mean there can't be laughter and even fun (seriously!) along the way. There can be comfort in knowing that underneath all of the mind muck that we've inherited and created, our true nature continues to be, and is always there for us, ready to be uncovered. I also believe that through mindfully moving the body and the process of creating intuitive art, as well as, alternatively, through observing what happens (or wants to happen) in stillness and silence, we have a greater chance of living more from that place of peace.
