About Christina
I am licensed to provide therapy in: Missouri, Nevada, Illinois and Massachusetts.
Welcome to my practice! I'm Christina Sharp, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find their path to mental and physical wellness. With a focus on trauma, relationship issues, and anxiety, I tailor my client-centered approach to meet your unique needs and pace. Together, we can work towards healing and personal growth in a supportive environment.
As a dedicated working mother and wife, I cherish every moment spent with my wonderful daughter and husband. Our family is completed by our variety of furballs, which include a dog, cats, rats, and fish. When I’m not busy with work or family, I find spending time in nature, whether it’s gardening, hiking, or simply relaxing on my back porch fills my cup the most. I’m also passionate about learning and often attend trainings to enhance my skills to better serve my clients.
Background
My journey began with a psychology major, but it was during my master's program in marriage and family therapy that I realized my true calling was in social work. After graduating from the University of Missouri - Columbia in 2019, I became a Licensed Social Worker and began my career providing therapy.
My social work career began in 2015, focusing on child welfare. This is where my passion for social work was discovered. While working toward my masters degree I work in Intensive In-Home Services, where I supported at-risk families in their own environments. This approach allowed me to understand the families unique experiences better, as every person, family, and home is different. My goal was to leverage my social work degree to become an effective in-home therapist.
Since opening my private practice in 2020, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate therapy services, initially in-person and now through telehealth, allowing me to reach clients across Missouri and beyond to additional states where services are needed. My passion for tailored care has led me to refine my niche, ensuring that I offer the support you need for your wellness journey.
Thank you for visiting my page to learn about me and what I can offer you. I look forward to connecting with you and helping to enhance your wellness within.

EMDR Therapy Intensive
The intensity and focus of an intensive mean you can skip the usual “stop-and-start” of weekly sessions. Without the weeklong gaps in between, you’re able to go deeper and make faster progress. This time is all about you, so whether it’s a 3-hour block or 3 full days, you’re dedicating space to truly focus on yourself. This isn’t just time-efficient—it’s deeply transformational The time you spend on this intensive can translate to real change in your everyday life, bringing you closer to the goals that matter most to you.
Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 50 minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
