Sharna L Striar, PHD

I have been a patient of Sharna Striar’s for over 5 years and can not say enough about her as a therapist and a person. She is the Helen Keller of therapists working miracles. Dr. Striar is highly professional, deeply cares about your well being, and offers many paths to help you fully learn to deal with your emotions and feelings. She is calm, understanding, and easy to communicate with, which is a huge plus. Her office is bright, welcoming, and warm. She has turned into one of my biggest support systems in my life and I would recommend her to anyone who seeks therapy.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Striar for the last few months and I couldn’t be more pleased. I chose her specifically for her background in healthcare which is evident in her practice– it’s holistic and patient-​centered. She’s great at dealing with acute issues and provides valuable resources to supplement her sessions. Dr. Striar is professional, warm, patient and caring. She’s a wonderful therapist.

The last time I tried therapy, I did not have a good experience, so I was reluctant at first to meet with Dr. Striar, but I am SO glad I did. In just a handful of sessions, she was able to guide me to reflect on some latent issues that were rearing its ugly head in my relationships. Her manner is very compassionate and non-​intrusive, yet what I like is that she does provide feedback where necessary and brings attention to important observations. Her office is also so cozy and she makes you feel right at home, while at the same time exhibiting the highest professionalism. If you want a warm and skillful counselor, Dr. Striar is it :).

Dr. Striar is a compassionate, innovative, open minded therapist who has guided my husband and I out of some sticky situations and has also helped me to find a greater understanding of my own issues. I have been working with her for over four years and have never been disappointed. I know I can count on her to provide guidance and support without judgement in a cosy environment whenever needed.
She employs a highly effective combination of talk therapy, exercises and real life examples, and I feel the results are clearly palpable. I feel I can ask her specific questions on how to improve, and she has helpful answers; I don’t have to just talk and talk until even I am sick of hearing about myself.
I would definitely recommend her for both couples and individual therapy on a variety of topics.

Simply the best. She’s real, passionate, dedicated and truly helps you to move past your «stuff» to live a more effective life. So thankful I found her.

Sharna Striar, PH.D., R.N. has been an incredibly positive influence in my life. I began working with her almost 3 years ago during a very difficult time in my life, and she has provided tremendous support and encouragement during our time together. I have always felt that she has listened carefully to my concerns and issues, and has helped me come up with very helpful resolutions. She has been an invaluable person that has always been there for me during the hard times. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a thoughtful and kind therapist.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Sharna Striar. Her years of experience and training as a psychiatric nurse and psychotherapist have given me the tools I needed to navigate my 20’s. I addressed my family, work and relationship issues, and am now on more solid ground. Thank you, Dr. Striar for all of your help and guidance. I highly recommend her.

I’ve had many aha moments with the guidance and counsel of Sharna Striar, Ph.D., R.N. She is one of the most patient, kind therapists I’ve been to, and she always gives incredibly sound advice. I was referred to Dr. Striar in my mid-​twenties and have been seeing her on and off for the last few years. During this time, she has helped me become the confident poised woman I am today. I would highly recommend Dr. Striar to anyone in need.
