Get to Know Our Newest Counselor, Sharaya Borjas!
"We aren't meant to do life alone. What I get to do
is come alongside you and be there as you need."
- Sharaya Borjas
Let me answer everyone's first question:
How do I pronounce your name?!
Just say: Shah-RAY-yah Boar-haas. I know it's confusing, but I promise, the rest of your experience working with me will be dedicated to taking the confusion and chaos out of your life!
Sharaya Borjas, MA, LPC, NCC
ABOUT ME...
I believe everyone wants to feel known. We want to feel that there is someone out there who knows us and can sit with whatever we bring to them, whether that's sorrow, joy, pride, shame, ownership or chaos. While confiding in family and friends is helpful, what you share is typically filtered through all the emotions attached to that relationship.
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I'm able to bring a level of unbiased listening to our sessions. I can empathize, but with a high degree of objectivity that allows me to help you see the path forward more clearly.
MY PRACTICE FOCUS: As you'll see from my list of services below, I offer therapy for a variety of emotional issues, but as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for more than a decade, I specialize in helping individuals with Personality Disorders, which not only affect them, but can also impact relationships with their partners, families, colleagues, and others. Please don't hesitate to call me to discuss what you may be dealing with and how I might be able to help you.
MY TRAINING: I received my my undergrad in Sociology from The University of Kansas and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Mid America Nazarene University, with an emphasis on marriage and family counseling. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor with 6 years of experience supervising graduate level counseling interns.
MY PHILOSOPHY: I am intentional about building and fostering a relationship with each individual person so that while doing work in therapy, we are also learning from one another and growing together.
MY APPROACH: My approach to therapy is attachment-based from a psychoanalytic and experiential lens. It's based on the concept that distress in intimate relationships is often related to deeply-rooted fears of abandonment; these fears lead to emotional responses that may harm relationship partners, family members, colleagues, etc., and strain these relationships. In my sessions, I incorporate an overall systems approach to treatment. I may use various techniques in therapy to find what works best with each individual, couple, or family.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES...
"I've been working with Sharaya for almost 10 years. She's been a huge help in navigating some really tough times, including relationship issues, parenting struggles, and dealing with loss. Her insight and empathy are invaluable to me. I always look forward to our sessions and am grateful for her guidance and support." - J.R.
"My time working with Sharaya has provided substantial personal growth! Some growth has been on topics that seemed obvious for my life's circumstances. but bonus growth in areas I never knew I needed to heal from and truly put behind me. I feel weight has been lifted, so I feel free to live a full life" - S.S.
"I love Sharaya… she is the best. Don't be the idiot who thinks they wouldn't benefit from her therapy." - A.R.
"Sharaya has offered valuable insight and brought a fresh perspective in approaching challenges I've faced that come with parenting young adult children. I appreciate her honest feedback and the sensible ideas she's given me, which are making a positive difference in my life." - K.F.
"I've had other therapists in the past but I never quite felt it was a good fit. I am so grateful to have found Sharaya Borjas. From the very beginning she was welcoming and made me feel more than comfortable. She has always made my therapy sessions feel like a warm, safe and understanding environment. I leave every session feeling like a fog has lifted, my mind is clearer and just better inside. I have learned so much and grown as a person with her as a therapist. I couldn'tt have made it this far without her. She's the greatest!
