Henderson is “the small-town Americana,” because of the small-town feel the city still has after years of growth. While Henderson may be quite typical among small towns, problems and issues its residents deal with everyday aren’t always typical.

Henderson, North Carolina has counselors and therapists that can take the pressure and burdens off your shoulders. Don’t hesitate or wait until things get worse. If you live in the Henderson area, contact a local mental health professional so you can get your life back.

Welcome for the opportunity to get to know you. Reaching out for help is a healthy approach to navigate through life. Initially licensed in VA as a professional counselor, I am currently licensed in SC as an LPC, and in NC as an LCMHC. My experiences have been broad and extensive as I have worked in private practice for the last 13 years and prior to private practice I worked home with families, couples, and individuals in my office and online . I have completed three levels of training in the Gottman Model, a researched model for marriage and couples counseling. My experience as a LPC/LCMHC, and my life experience as a wife of 40 plus years, mother of 2 and grandmother of 8 has enriched my life to work with wisdom gleaned from "real life."

Hello! My name is Brian and I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the field. I began my career on the faculty at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC where I saw clients and supervised psychiatric interns completing their outpatient rotations. I have also served as the Clinical Director for a national managed care organization, where I was responsible for monitoring and ensuring best practice treatment planning and therapeutic techniques from over 5,000 practitioners across the United States in a wide range of therapeutic settings including inpatient hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient care, and outpatient settings. I am currently serving as the Chair of the Graduate Psychology program at a major online university in Florida. Clinically, I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, self-esteem/motivation, and career challenges. Originally from the mid-west, I currently reside in south Florida. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Biochemisty from Rutgers College in New Brunswick, NJ and my Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL. I also returned to school following my Doctoral degree to obtain an MBA from Pfeiffer University in Charlotte, NC as I am also interested in looking at financial models that promote greater quality of care in behavioral health settings. My approach to therapy is both client-centered and solution-oriented. I strongly believe that clients are the experts of their lives and can be empowered to make changes that allow them to reach their goals. I assist clients in identifying areas of focus (i.e., a roadmap to what they want to achieve in therapy) as well as the steps necessary to take to make the positive changes that they desire. This is accomplished through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques where I assist clients in exploring relationships among their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be contributing to barriers to their short- and long-term goals, ultimately creating a path to positive outcomes. Outside of my work, I am a competitive rower and devoted father of two wonderful children. I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, traveling, home improvement projects and restoring and maintaining my classic sports car.

To all my Prospective Clients: Hello, I am Sherry Friedman, a National l Board Certified Counselor (NCC), clinical mental health counselor licensed in Rhode Island, North Carolina, and South Carolina with twelve years of experience. My clinical orientation is Jungian (transformational and psychodynamic) and my counseling approach is holistic and multi-dimensional. This means I explore my clients' biopsychosocial, emotional, environmental, cultural, energetic, spiritual, and cosmological influences that may be creating stress, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, relationship issues, and career challenges. As an HSP (Highly Sensitive) Person HSP Psychotherapist (https://hsperson.com) Empath, and Reiki Master, I am skilled at creating an emotionally safe space and empowering my clients to discover and embrace their gifts and strengths with healthy boundaries. I offer a warm, interactive counseling style and I practice "Listening with HEART" (Healing, Energy, Awareness, Resiliency, Transformation) and HeartMath coherence as a mindfulness-based treatment approach. The ultimate goal of all therapy is transformation, so that we can move forward as the highest, best version of ourselves. This typically involves finding one's life purpose and who we incarnated on this planet to become. Deeper self-discovery and getting to the root cause of pain requires a rare form of bravery. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take that first step toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to empower you and look forward to working with you! All the best, Sherry Ann ("Share") Friedman, NCC, LCMHC MA School Psychology, (Ball State University), MS Ed Gifted Education (Purdue University), MS Clinical Counseling (Bellevue University)
