Maybe you struggle with boundaries, feel guilty saying no, or feel disconnected from your own needs after years of putting everyone else first. At Peace & Purpose, this is a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin reconnecting with yourself. Many of the people I work with are dependable, caring, and deeply invested in others…yet feel burned out, anxious, and unsure how to prioritize themselves without guilt. These patterns often develop as ways of coping or surviving, and they deserve understanding, not judgment. Peace is not self-sacrifice. Peace is learning how to honor yourself without guilt. Purpose is reconnecting with who you are beneath expectations and moving forward with clarity, confidence, and intention. I offer a safe, supportive space where you’ll feel understood and gently challenged, as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change. You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/3bd4a096-6b07-48a1-88e2-e20d78183b42/for+site.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/1769527864085-GCT8II9GIFFYRZ2V1JDN/unsplash-image-tdcXuKZrQAQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/c318e506-d9c8-4dc6-92e3-378a30c3c6f7/premarital-counseling-1920px-800px.jpg https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/about daily 0.75 2024-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/03a608a1-4228-47aa-bbde-fc838712601f/IMG_7875+e.JPG About Shari - 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.

No pressure or judgment. Many of the individuals I work with feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing and over-functioning for others. Often, these patterns developed as ways of coping or surviving, and over time can make it difficult to set boundaries or prioritize your own needs. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with compassion and curiosity. Therapy is collaborative and paced to meet you where you are, with a focus on building self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and increasing emotional clarity. At Peace & Purpose, therapy is not about fixing you; it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself, reclaim your peace, and move forward with intention. https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/couples-counseling daily 0.75 2025-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/d8035e39-3b32-4d02-912e-f7bcb22ab0ce/premarital-counseling-1920px-800px.jpg Couples Counseling - Couples Counseling When love feels distant, it’s not always about what’s wrong.

At Peace & Purpose, LLC, couples counseling offers a chance to pause, reset, and reconnect with intention. It’s not about blame or fixing one person — it’s about helping you both feel seen, heard, and valued again. If you’ve been saying, “Something has to change,” this is your sign to start. Let’s rebuild communication, deepen connection, and restore the peace that first brought you together. https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/aa15869c-bee0-4ff7-9f98-2a80717778fd/Cover.JPG https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2024-10-15 https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2024-10-15 https://www.withpeaceandpurpose.com/teen-therapy daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f3d543216a7a1babf441c9/1769527639843-9DAZMR5ZDMHCS6RCN2CK/unsplash-image-tdcXuKZrQAQ.jpg Teen Therapy - Teen Therapy A Space That’s Actually About You Being a teen comes with a lot—school expectations, relationships, family dynamics, future decisions, and pressure to “have it together.” Even when things look fine on the outside, it can feel overwhelming on the inside. Therapy gives you a space to slow down, talk things through, and figure out what you need without being judged, lectured, or told how you “should” feel.
