You’re stuck because you keep waiting on someone to fix you. A partner. A parent. A therapist. A sign. A moment. But nobody’s coming to rescue you. You are the solution you’ve been waiting on. Healing starts the moment you decide to stop outsourcing your power and take radical responsibility for your growth. This is not therapy. Please seek professional therapeutic services if needed.

You were never taught to feel, just to function. So now, you’ve learned to externalize your happiness. You look for it in women/men, work, s*x, friends, food, alcohol, spending money. Etc. expecting it to bring you peace, make you whole, heal what was never their wound. That’s why you’re in a loop of cheating, lying, manipulating, and searching… still ending up unhappy, unsatisfied, and disconnected. Because you’re looking for something that only you can give yourself: Safety. Worth. Peace. Joy. It’s not out there. It’s in you. But only if you slow down and go get it. This is not therapy. But it’s truth. And if you’re ready to stop sabotaging and start healing, I have the tools to help. Check the link in my bio!

A safe space isn’t about candles and soft voices. It’s about consistency, respect, and emotional maturity. If being soft with him feels dangerous, it’s not softness you need to change — it’s the space.

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:
