Sharon Sumler , LMSW

Sharon Sumler is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

She draws on a long history of working with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control difficulties.

Sharon describes her approach as empathetic and nonjudgmental, helping people move forward after difficult life events by re-evaluating self-worth and building practical coping strategies. As an LMSW - a licensed social worker with master-level training - she combines client-centered listening with evidence-based tools to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her training includes methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support change and resilience.

Sharon aims to create a supportive space where clients can process challenges, develop new skills, and work toward meaningful goals at a pace that fits their life.
