Sharhonda Mingo

Sharhonda Mingo, LPCC

Mobile Crisis Clinician

I believe it is important to see the whole person, rather than just the issues that brought them to you. Mental health is not a “one size fits all” and therefore should not be approached that way. Everyone does not experience depression or grief in the same way, so understanding the whole person is vital to assisting them in their recovery.

  • Ages Served:6+

Professional Experience

My professional experience includes working in rural Minnesota as a supervisor at a residential facility for at-risk females who were victims of sex trafficking. This is the moment I decided to return to school and obtain my clinical degree because I found that many of the girls looked like me, and could benefit from a cultural approach. After 5 years, I moved back to the Twin Cities metro area and worked as a case manager for both adults and children which I found rewarding as I watched clients evolve by accomplishing their goals. I have also worked as a therapist in an adolescent day treatment in Hennepin County and a school-based therapist in Anoka.

My approach explores the intersection of language and identity, with a focus on African American Vernacular English and its impact on communication in clinical settings.

About Me

I enjoy shopping, skydiving, watching true crime, cooking, and spending time with my family and beloved dogs, Cocoa & Chloe. My favorite season is summer, so I love to spend time on the patio with my friends.

Fun fact: I am also working towards being a master skydiver and will hopefully pass the test in the Spring 2026.

Professional Experience

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in Sociology. I continued my education and received a master’s degree in k-12 school counseling. I was a school counselor for six years working with ages 6-21 on social, emotional, and career goals. I am very passionate about trauma Informed schools and wanted to incorporate that on a larger level, so I went back to school to get my master’s in educational leadership and was a principal for four years. I missed working one on one with clients and helping them be successful in their lives which is what brought me to Canvas Health. I am also working on getting my license in Alcohol and Drug Counseling.

About Me

When my family and I aren’t running around with sports (hockey, soccer, swimming, basketball, track, dirt biking and baseball), you will most likely find us outside (fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing, walking out chocolate late, swimming at the beach).

Education

  • Masters in School Counseling- University of Wisconsin-River Falls
  • Masters in Educational Leadership-Minnesota State Moorhead
  • Currently Attending Minnesota North for LADC
