About Shari — With Peace & Purpose

About Shari…

Hi, I’m Shari Shante, LCSW and I’m grateful you’re here.
Peace & Purpose Therapy & Wellness was born out of both my personal journey and professional training. My passion lies in helping others move from merely surviving to thriving, all while reclaiming a life of undisrupted peace. Through my professional training, I’ve gained expertise in supporting those dealing with trauma and anxiety, using a blend of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual’s needs. At Peace & Purpose, I focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where you can unpack, heal, and embrace a life filled with intention. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and live a life aligned with your true purpose—where peace is not something you chase, but something you live in daily.
My Approach…
First and foremost, therapy with me is a safe space for non-judgemental processing. There is care here and there is genuine support here. I would consider myself a “confrontational therapist.” By that I mean, if someone is choosing to attend therapy sessions, I know you are ready to do the work and that will cause us to confront the barriers that are in the way. Sessions with me are client-led and we are going to work together to accomplish your treatment goals. We will process trauma and emotions utilizing modalities such as CBT and Mindfulness, but please expect to be held accountable for the goals you set for yourself. The daily practice of tools is the only way to see the change we are looking for within ourselves. After each session, my goal is for my clients to enter the week with intention, hope, and renewed energy. You are your first priority; do this for you.
