Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Compassionate and caring
Sharon is knowledgeable with many decades of experience and truly cares about patients. She takes the time to get to know each one personally and individualizes the care they receive. Always available and easy to get ahold of. If you need help, call Sharon.

Horrible
Very Judgmental narcissist always comparing herself to your problems everything you do wrong she will tell you how what she does herself to better in comparison. She will disclose your information and compare her other clients stories as well. If you want help don’t go here. If you want a comparison this is your place.

Very dishonest and won't follow up for an appointment. She doesn't return calls. Completely dishonest. If you need help or are in crisis, I would not recommend her.

Sharon Karn is a top notch expert in her field. She saved my life (literally) when I encountered despair. I can't say enough about her. She actively listens to your problems, she's a great advisor and I trust her 100%.

I am so thankful that I was connected with Sharon. She has helped make a huge difference in my life. She cares about her patients, never rushes, listens, explains everything thoroughly, and makes sure you understand without judgment. It is so easy to talk to her. I adore her and would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.

Sharon is great. I have learned so much from her about myself and others. I never thought I would need to go to a counselor, but I'm glad it is Sharon. I wish I would have done this earlier in life. The only complaint I have is rescheduling, a couple of times I left messages with the answering service and didn't get a call back for a week at a time.

Sharon is fantastic! Truly listens and genuinely cares for you as a whole person (not just mentally and emotionally). I've kept appointments with her on days that I've felt pretty good, just because it's like visiting a friend who helps to make me feel even better. Even on my worst days I leave inspired and feeling strong enough to keep going. She KNOWS her medications. Very smart woman. Had issues in past with her answering service, but after mentioning them to Sharon the issues were resolved.

I recommend Sharon to friends, family, and mental health colleagues. Sharon goes above and beyond for her patients. She never makes me feel rushed or like a number. Sharon genuinely cares about the needs of her patients. She offers suggestions, feedback, and makes herself part of the solution if wanted. I really appreciate Sharon!

Sharon is one of the best providers I have ever come across. In my lowest point in life she was the light at the end of the tunnel. Sharon went above and beyond to make sure I was back on my feet. Not only intelligent within her field, but a solid resource to make clear of the help I needed. I would highly recommend her to any one and trust her entirely. Sharon not only was helpful but actually listen to my concerns, needs, and fears.

Sharon is kind, patient, understanding and honest. She will listen to your needs and help you. Not just anyone can handle dealing with so many different personalities and problems all day several days a week. I would recommend Sharon with out hesitation. Its hard to find someone that will be honest and helpful. The main goal is to get the patient better and on the right track.

Very dishonest. 2 months and she won't follow up for an appointment. She doesn't return calls. Then she flat out lied to my doctor and said she attempted to "call me abd leave several voicemails." Completely dishonest. If you need help or are in crisis, I would not recommend her.

I went for help with psych medications management. She is very knowledgable, she listened to my concerns and wishes and helped me get off a medication that was causing adverse side effects. I was very happy with the results. She's awesome.
