I, Sharde' O'Rourke, LPC, LMFT, LSATP, CCTP am from Los Angeles, California and currently owns, operates and practices at The Mahoany projek, LLC ( a private therapy practice in Hampton, VA). I am the mother of two, partner/wife to a cool dude and have a eclectic perspective on life and love. I am an eccentric, passionate, considerate, hardworking, amazing human being that has focused my life's journey on assisting with healing and educating others in their journey. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health/counseling/helping field. I am honored by others allowing me to experience a piece of their lives, explore and process their stories while writing new ones.
I am the Barefoot Therapist because I find that cozy socks bring in a certain level of comfort in my sessions, plus, who doesn’t love cool (and comfy) socks?!

I look forward to meeting you in your journey.
