Sharon R. Green

I offer individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults of all ages, as well as clinical consultation and supervision. I have practiced psychotherapy since 1995.

I am an IAAP-certified Diplomate Jungian Analyst and hold a PhD in Psychology from Ghent University. My doctoral research, undertaken in the Department of Psychoanalysis, examined shame from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. My formation encompasses both Jungian and Lacanian traditions, while my current clinical practice is primarily Lacanian in orientation.

People often come to me with anxiety, depression, shame, self-criticism, recurring relationship difficulties, grief and loss, or difficult life transitions. Psychoanalytic work listens closely to each person’s particular history, desires, relationships, and largely unconscious assumptions. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and attentive to the singularity of each person’s experience.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a licensed medical social worker in hospitals, hospice, home health, and outpatient clinics. That experience continues to inform my sensitivity to grief, loss, bodily vulnerability, and the limits of what can be controlled, without defining chronic illness as a specialty of my practice.

Before becoming a social worker and psychotherapist, I worked as a professional photographer and filmmaker, coordinated arts programs, and earned my BA in Modern Dance. This background contributes to my appreciation of creativity and the many ways people seek to express and understand their experience.
