About Us
The Sharevision team began working together over thirty years ago as members of an interdisciplinary group working in human services. The group was dedicated to helping people address significant challenges through the integration of cultural practices and evidence-based research.
The development of the Sharevision Model grew from a recognition of the practical need to train therapists differently from historic hierarchical clinical models. It was designed to prepare counselors to practice reflecting on their work with one another and to get feedback and guidance in a supportive atmosphere.
The Model evolved as the group experimented with operationalizing the theoretical foundations of Family Therapist and Social Worker Lynn Hoffman’s (1985) guidelines towards a “power-with vs. power-over” approach alongside self-care strategies. Today the Sharevision approach is used in countless organizations and professional settings as well as personal and community contexts.
