Sharon Toliver-Hardy, MSW, LCSW, CSAC, is the founder of We Care Roanoke and a behavioral health professional with more than 25 years of experience helping individuals, families, and communities navigate life's challenges and discover their capacity for healing and growth.

Throughout her career, Sharon has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, grief, addiction, relationship concerns, emotional challenges, and major life transitions. Her experience extends beyond the therapy room into behavioral health leadership, addiction services, group facilitation, and program development—all of which have shaped the way she approaches care today.

Sharon founded We Care Roanoke after years of seeing firsthand what people need from behavioral health care: a place where they can feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to explore difficult experiences, and empowered to move forward at their own pace. She believes therapy should go beyond addressing symptoms by helping people understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change that extends into everyday life.

Her approach is compassionate, patient, and grounded in meeting people where they are. Sharon believes every person enters therapy with their own story, culture, experiences, strengths, and circumstances—and that those things deserve to be understood rather than judged.

For Sharon, We Care Roanoke is more than a practice. It represents decades of service and a deeply held belief that people should never be defined by their diagnosis, their mistakes, their circumstances, or the most difficult chapter of their lives.

There is always room for the next chapter.

She earned her Bachelor of Social Work from Ferrum College and graduated with honors from Louisiana State University, where she received her Master of Social Work.

Her approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, collaboration, and evidence-based care, creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel heard, respected, and empowered. She recognizes that every person's experiences, challenges, and goals are unique and believes care should reflect the individual—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

She meets clients where they are while helping them build resilience, strengthen practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
