Abraham Sharkas, NCC, LAC
Licensed Associate Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor
Montclair NJ
I am not here to interpret your experience for you or hand you a framework to fit it into. My role is to help you find your own ground underneath what surfaced, so it can actually take root in your daily life.
We begin by understanding where you are and what you are carrying. From there we build something together, whether its preparation or the therapeutic experience itself when appropriate, and integration work that connects what happened to how you actually live. I bring clinical rigor, cultural fluency, and a direct but warm presence to this work. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all.
I work at the intersection of somatic therapy, trauma, contemplative traditions, and psychospiritual depth. As a Licensed Associate Counselor and PhD candidate, I bring clinical training, lived cultural experience, and a genuine curiosity about what actually helps people change.
My background spans counseling psychology, wisdom traditions, and over three years of clinical practice with individuals and couples. I hold certification in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through Fluence and approach all psychedelic work through a harm reduction, integration-centered lens. I have been invited to present at international conferences on somatics, belonging, and the intersection of psychology and contemplative practice.
I am based in Montclair, New Jersey and work with clients across New Jersey via telehealth.
Individual Therapy and Counseling — somatic, trauma-informed, and transpersonal care for people who want to work at depth.
Psychedelic Integration — specialized support for making meaning from psychedelic experiences, whether recent or from years ago, and weaving those insights into everyday life.
Sessions are available via telehealth across New Jersey, with flexible scheduling on weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
