Real love requires confidence not just in giving care, but in letting yourself be cared for. Too many of us only feel safe when we’re the strong one, the fixer, the one who carries it all. But here’s the truth: if you can’t receive love, you’ll never feel fully secure in it. Take my Relationship Reality Check Quiz (link in bio) to see if your relationship is rooted in healthy love or in survival. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not therapy. Please seek support from a licensed mental health professional. This content is not one-size-fits-all or all-or-nothing advice—everything is nuanced and context matters. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and honor your lived experience.

My Story

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 want to help others to heal themselves through my books, my business and my social media. I want to have the hard conversations and provide my expertise to my followers and friends. I look forward to meeting you in your journey.

P.S. , here's a short explanation of the words behind my name:
