Sharon Marciano, LMHC-D & LPC, Owner & Founder
Welcome to my practice! I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health therapist, here to support you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. Since earning my Master’s degree in Counseling from Monmouth University in 2016, I have been privileged to work with individuals, couples, and families across diverse populations and presenting issues. With licenses to practice in both New York and New Jersey, I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for clients from all walks of life.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and integrative, blending evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with creative techniques such as art therapy and somatic practices. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. My work is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow and heal with the right support.
In addition to my professional credentials, I bring a wealth of experience working with children, couples, and individuals who have faced complex challenges. I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable step, and I am here to provide a nonjudgmental environment where you feel truly seen and heard.
Together, we will explore the patterns, emotions, and behaviors that shape your experience, empowering you to create meaningful and lasting change. Thank you for considering me as a part of your journey. I look forward to walking alongside you toward a brighter future.
Olesya Lyukevich, MHC-LP
Olesya Lyukevich is a Mental Health Counselor–Limited Permit holder who provides therapy for adults across the lifespan—from young adulthood through older age. She specializes in working
with middle-aged and older adults navigating life transitions, particularly immigrants and individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds. Olesya is especially passionate about supporting those who have recently moved to a new country or are adjusting to major life changes—experiences that often come with feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm.
She brings a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to psychotherapy.

Olesya creates a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, build emotional resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
Her clients often present with depression, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, relational concerns, and chronic stress. Many come to therapy feeling stuck—overwhelmed by painful memories, ongoing stress, or a deep sense that things just aren’t improving. Olesya understands how hard it can be to carry these struggles alone. She believes therapy can be a place not only to process challenges but also to rediscover inner strength and hope.
Olesya holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the City University of New York. She offers therapy in both English and Russian.
