About me

Monika Sharma, PsyD is a clinical psychologist, hypnotherapist, and life coach with over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate burnout, career crossroads, executive functioning, and the deeper life questions that often arise in midlife. Drawing from her background as an entrepreneur, former group practice owner, and now solo practitioner, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.

As a single mom by choice, Dr. Sharma understands the courage and clarity required to make life-altering decisions—whether that’s redefining a career path, rebuilding after burnout, or choosing a nontraditional route to family. She combines evidence-based psychotherapy, solution-focused coaching, and hypnosis to help clients realign with their values, reclaim vitality, and step into a more fulfilling next chapter.

Her practice is especially suited for midlife professionals, entrepreneurs, and parents who are ready to move beyond “just getting through the day” toward living with energy, clarity, and purpose.

Dr. Sharma’s specialties include:

  • Burnout
  • ADHD and Executive Functioning
  • Hypnosis
