Ravil Sharma, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Before co-founding Milestones Psychology with my wife, Dr. Kirsten Sharma, I practiced psychology independently in a private setting. Forming the incredible and talented team at Milestones Psychology has been an extraordinary privilege. Our group operates with a familial atmosphere, and our goal is to ensure that our clients feel safe and comfortable when working with us.
My clinical expertise lies in the evaluation and treatment of middle, high school, and college students. I have unique experience in providing neuropsychological evaluations and treating students for a range of issues, including ADHD, executive functioning weaknesses, learning disorders, mood-related conditions, and anxiety. Specializing in neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I am profoundly grateful to be able to focus on helping adolescents and young adults thrive in their academic and professional lives.
In therapy, my primary objective is to facilitate positive changes in clients' lives through practical and proven strategies. I equip clients with mental and behavioral tools to enhance their lives. My approach is collaborative, prioritizing the development of comfort and mutual trust with my clients. I believe that being sensitive to cultural and individual differences is critical for establishing a strong client-therapist relationship. My patients typically find me to be relaxed, genuine, warm, honest, and flexible. Additionally, clients can expect to set personal goals and regularly monitor their progress through feedback and evaluation.
