Sharon Kuhlmann

Sharon emphasizes listening first and tailoring the work to each person’s needs. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sharon also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics and strengthen communication. When trauma or strong emotional memories are present, she may use elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process those memories.

Sharon’s background includes prior work as a registered nurse, which she says gives her a clear view of how the body and mind interact during stress, pain, and anxiety. She brings that perspective into practical coping strategies you can use day to day.

Her approach is conversational and coach-like when helpful, with clear suggestions and skills to practice between sessions. Clients can expect a therapist who listens, offers concrete tools, and helps set small, achievable goals.

Sharon often uses mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas to create short-term relief while planning longer-term change. She is based in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English.

Her practice includes support for parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, career shifts, and attention-related issues. Sharon frames therapy as a partnership and invites people to talk about what matters most to them.
