Sharon Shavit, LCSW, is the Owner and Founder of Exhale Behavioral Health, a practice built from her deep belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care. With a career in social work dating back to 1999, Sharon brings more than two decades of experience to her work, along with a genuine passion for helping individuals, families, and communities feel supported through life’s challenges.

Sharon earned her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Aurora University and has spent her career growing as both a clinician and a leader. At the heart of her work is a simple belief: people do not have to navigate difficult seasons alone. Everyone deserves a safe, welcoming space where they can be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

That belief is what inspired Sharon to create Exhale Behavioral Health. What began as a vision to bring accessible, excellent mental health care to the Winchester community has grown into a team of dedicated professionals who share her commitment to making a meaningful difference. Sharon wanted Exhale to feel like more than a place to receive care — she wanted it to be a place where people could take a breath, feel safe, and begin moving forward.

Today, Sharon continues to lead Exhale with the same heart and purpose that inspired its beginning. She is passionate about supporting her team, strengthening the practice, and helping Exhale remain a trusted resource for individuals and families throughout the community.

For Sharon, Exhale is more than a practice — it is a reflection of her belief that with the right support, everyone has the opportunity to heal, grow, and find their way forward.
