Meet Shari DePaulo

Hello, and welcome to Roots on the Road! I'm Shari DePaulo, MSW, LICSW-A, PMH, an Associate Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping you build a stronger, more secure foundation for your life. My practice is guided by the motto: “We build by rebuilding.” This philosophy emphasizes the belief that everyone deserves a sense of security and stability and that sometimes it requires rebuilding certain areas of life to achieve those aspects.

With a specialization in Perinatal/Maternal Mental Health and Family Systems Support, I focus on guiding individuals through psycho-social and emotional discomfort, including depression and life's challenges. My aim is to provide the support and tools necessary to help you reach your goals and improve the important relationships that contribute to your well-being and happiness.

Practice Philosophy

At Roots on the Road, we believe in the transformative power of rebuilding. Life can present numerous challenges, and navigating them often requires a supportive and compassionate partner. Our practice is committed to empowering you with the resources and strategies you need to overcome obstacles and enhance your overall quality of life.
