Shari Sinwelski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with 26 years of experience in mental health care. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem. Her work also extends to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and a range of life concerns including midlife transition, workplace problems, and issues related to sexuality and women’s health.

Shari has worked with many individuals affected by suicidal thoughts or attempts and with those who are supporting someone in crisis or coping with loss due to suicide. She helps clients process trauma and abuse, including sexual assault and domestic violence, and offers guidance for navigating major life transitions such as exploring a new career or setting new life goals. Her approach emphasizes practical support for forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and cultivating self-love.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where feelings and experiences can be explored. Shari aims to empower people to take courageous first steps toward greater well-being and more fulfilling lives, working collaboratively to identify goals and build skills that fit each person’s needs.
