Sharon Whitmer, KYLPC, EdD
Pastoral Counselor

About me
I offer a unique blend of Christian, faith-based spiritual direction with competent mental health counseling along with collaborative treatment planning. I work with individuals, couples and families that are facing difficulties with anger, unforgiveness, grief, abuse, marital discord, depression, self-esteem, and a variety of spiritual issues. I not only have counseled clients with some of life's most difficult heartaches, I have experienced childhood abuse, domestic violence, and grief. If you have experienced any of these as well as other struggles, I can help you.
While I am trained in counseling theories and techniques, I believe using the Bible as a guide to explore the emotions that often paralyze our daily lives and relationships is fundamental to reaching healing and growth. I have earned a Kentucky License in Pastoral Counseling, Doctor of Education, Master of Education, and a Post-Master in Marriage & Family Therapy.
