Thank you for your good work in our worldWe know that a therapist’s commitment to personal and professional wellbeing cultivates far-reaching positive impacts. Your healing matters too, healer.
Our Mission
We aim to help therapists and allied healers feel more capable, inspired, and resilient in their work. Through self-paced and live courses, affirming community presence, and contemplative practices, we holistically support and resource psychotherapists and allied healers as they provide care for others.
Our Story
Our story begins in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2014.
In a cozy conference room in Ann Arbor, Carryn gathered around a table with other therapists, eager to learn more from Sharon (and two other therapists) about increasing therapeutic resonance.
A new therapist, she wished to gain more confidence and capability in the work. After each educational session, she felt extraordinarily resourced by learning evidence-supported therapeutic skills taught in a compassionate, supportive way.
In another room, a short time later, Sharon unrolled a yoga mat in a candlelit studio, about to take the first of what would become a weekly ritual of Carryn’s nurturing yin yoga classes. She felt held, resourced, and found her best therapy… deepening her recognition, decades into this career, about how powerful it is to care deeply for oneself while providing care for others.
Each inspired by–and resourced by–the other, a friendship and shared vision was born.
From there, The Resourced Therapist (then called Therapist Refresh) took off!
It was a (com)passion project from the start. We began by offering our Refresh self-care classes for therapists, then created meditations, and eventually expanded to our weekly emails, workshops, and courses. We’ve been growing organically and in response to what we sense healers need.
We believe that being resourced means having confidence in clinical skills, feeling inspired and fulfilled by the healing work, and being able to find grounding and regulation through difficult moments. We are here to resource you in exactly these ways.
Know too, that we practice what we preach. Everything you experience as a part of The Resourced Therapist we created with care, intention, and with great commitment to sustaining balance in our own lives.
We wish you good healing.
Who We Are
Sharon Gold-Steinberg, PhD (she/her)
Sharon is a psychologist, with over 30 years of clinical wisdom who is known for her clarity and compassion as a therapist, consultant, teacher, and mentor. She maintains an active private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Attending the Psychotherapy Networker conference, snuggling with her dog between sessions, practicing hot yoga, hiking, and spending time by Lake Michigan with family or friends are her favorite forms of self-care and refresh her mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Sharon arrived in the Midwest from New England in 1985 to pursue her PhD in clinical psychology. She completed her doctoral and post-doctoral training at the University of Michigan and then served there as a lecturer and clinical supervisor for 15 years.
She has expanded upon her early training as a psychodynamic therapist working with children and families to specialize now in the treatment of adult trauma survivors. Training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Janina Fisher’s trauma-informed stabilization techniques, and EMDR have rounded out her tool box for supporting and inspiring healing.
Carryn Lund, LMSW, RYT (she/her)
Carryn is a social worker, therapist, and yoga teacher, currently working in private practice. She specializes in the treatment of trauma and is rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and somatics.
Carryn cares for herself by focusing on attunement and presence during sessions. Outside of sessions, she loves being active with yoga, hiking, and skiing, reading for pleasure, and spending time with loved ones. A good dance party and big, cozy hugs are always welcome, too.
After growing up in rural Minnesota, Carryn eventually made her way to Ann Arbor and earned her MSW from the University of Michigan School for Social Work (MSW ‘11). She then completed a postgraduate fellowship at Michigan Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry, receiving supervision and training while providing evaluation and therapy for children and adolescents in an outpatient setting.
Carryn’s training in yoga, EMDR, and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) greatly inform her clinical style and complement her early training in CBT and DBT. Carryn offers workshops, supervision, and consultation regularly and is passionate about supporting other therapists. She is a co-founder of Grove Emotional Health Collaborative.
Our Values
As individuals and together as The Resourced Therapist, we value equity, transparency, collaboration, safety, and justice. We also believe that our work in stewarding healing for others involves prevention, advocacy, and working to dismantle and unlearn systems of oppression. We stand with and affirm the LGBTQIA+ community, the BIPOC community, Indigenous Americans, and all other historically excluded and oppressed groups. We aim to make all of our resources accessible and applicable to individuals across intersectional identities.
