Sharna-Kay Bowen
Hi! I am Sharna-Kay, a mental health therapist and coach with a graduate degree from Barry University. I have over five years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. My work is rooted in compassion, presence, and understanding the whole person—mind, body, and life experience.
I create a supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward healing, balance, and meaningful growth.

First session
Clients can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where they feel comfortable sharing their concerns. Our first session will focus on getting to know them, understanding their needs and goals, and exploring what brought them to therapy. They will leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of how we can work together toward their personal growth and healing.
Strengths
I utilize a compassionate and evidence-based approach to help you overcome obstacles and improve your mental well-being. Whether you're struggling with stress or life transitions. I bring patience, compassion, and a calm, understanding presence to my sessions. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and validated. I believe in meeting each person where they are, listening without judgment and allowing them the space to express themselves openly. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is open to self-discovery, personal growth, and creating meaningful change . They may be navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They are willing to explore their thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, develop healthier patterns, coping strategies, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Origin story
I landed in this profession as I was naturally guided to do this work. Growing up, I often found myself wondering why people, especially within my own family, behaved, reacted, and related to one another in certain ways. I though it was a cultural difference as I am from Jamaica, however I wanted to understand what was happening beneath the surface and how our experiences shape the way we think, feel, and interact with others. That curiosity grew into a deeper interest in the human mind and the healing process. Over time, I realized that I wanted to do more than understand people; I wanted to help them understand themselves. Being able to create a safe space where others feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow is what makes this profession so meaningful to me.
Ongoing work together
Our work together will focus on self-discovery, building healthy coping skills, and creating meaningful changes at a pace that feels comfortable. We will explore challenges, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies. Progress will look different for everyone but may include improved self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence, healthier relationships, and feeling more empowered to navigate life's challenges.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I encourage them to identify negative thought patterns, develop healthier perspectives, and build practical coping skills to support positive change.
