Sharon R. Green

I offer individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults of all ages, as well as clinical consultation and supervision. My primary orientation is contemporary psychoanalysis, which is informed by current thinking in the arts, philosophy, science, medicine and cultural studies.

Although I am a Diplomate Jungian Analyst, certified by the IAAP, I also have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Department of Lacanian Psychoanalysis & Clinical Consultation, Ghent University, Belgium. My current practice is primarily oriented by the work of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. I've been practicing psychotherapy since 1995.

Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy address emotional discomfort and suffering, covering such things as painful feelings of anxiety or worry, depression, resentment, or emptiness; low self-esteem or self-hatred; unresolved grief or the after effects of trauma or abuse; concerns regarding sexuality; difficulties in relationships or concerns about parenting and family matters; difficulties at work or with career and profession, and concerns regarding artistic creativity or performance.  I have worked with individuals with chronic and life threatening medical conditions including HIV/AIDS, as well as individuals from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, differing sexual orientations and gender identities.

Before becoming a social worker and psychotherapist, I had a career as a professional photographer and filmmaker, worked as a coordinator of various arts programs, and received my B.A. degree in Modern Dance.
