About Umona L. Sharp, PhD
Hello, my name is Dr. Umona L. Sharp, the CEO, and founder of Stay Free Ministries, LLC. I have dedicated my life to serving men, women, and children in their quest for transformation and freedom. I have over 25 years of experience in mental health, behavioral health, and chemical dependency. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic Recreation from Indiana University and a Master of Arts degree in Christian Counseling from American Christian College and Seminary. I hold a Doctorate degree in Christian Clinical Counseling from Colorado Theological Seminary.
I’m affiliated with the National Christian Counseling Association as a Pastoral Clinical Christian Counselor and commissioned by Life Changers Church, Inc as a Pastoral Counselor and Minister. I’m licensed by the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board as a Chemical Dependency Counselor.
I serve children, adolescents, and adults suffering from any of the following:
Anxiety Depression Sexual Trauma Domestic Violence Grief & Loss Substance Abuse Health Ailments Financial Instability Pre-Marital and Marital Issues Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I use my training in therapeutic recreation as a mechanism to promote inner healing, stress management, coping skills, and alternatives for negative behaviors. I use a variety of therapeutic activities to do this such as music, dance, arts, craft, etc. These techniques are used as tools to help individuals to improve or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual functioning in order to gain a life of fulfillment.
I facilitate and organize inner healing retreats, seminars, workshops, and empowerment groups. I’m an author and a self-publisher.
