M.S., LPC-Associate, NCC
Madison Sharp is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Sarah Baliant-Bravo, M.Ed, LPC-S, RPT-S, NCC. She earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas, where she specialized in play therapy. During her time at UNT, Madison received advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, and trauma-informed care. She is currently working toward becoming a registered play therapist, a goal that reflects her passion for helping children grow and heal through play.
Madison has had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan in the university clinic, elementary school and nonprofit agency settings. Madison’s clinical experience includes providing individual counseling to children, adolescents, teens and adults at the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County, where she supported survivors of abuse, trauma, and family challenges. She has also provided play therapy and activity-based counseling in school and community settings, helping children and families navigate concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulties. Madison values working collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen the parent-child relationship and support family connection and wellness.
Madison believes that the counseling relationship is the foundation for growth and healing. She operates from a person-centered, play-based approach, creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel seen, heard, and accepted. She is passionate about walking alongside children and families as they navigate challenges, discover strengths, and build healthier connections.
Outside the counseling room, Madison enjoys exploring new places, spending time outdoors, caring for dogs, and connecting with friends and family.
