Welcome

I’m Dr. Lois Sharp, a clinical psychologist based in San Jose, California, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with individuals seeking support for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and performance-related challenges. In my professional work, my deepest rewards come from seeing my clients become energized and passionate about their lives. 

My approach is structured, practical, and focused on helping you make meaningful progress in a relatively short period of time. Using evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies, I help clients develop the tools needed to better manage thoughts, improve emotional regulation, and build lasting resilience.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. You bring insight into your own experiences, and together we define clear goals and actionable steps to move forward in a time-sensitive manner. Many clients begin to see meaningful improvement within a few months, with a typical course of care lasting approximately 3–6 months depending on individual needs.
