Sharon Bolden, LCPC

Psychotherapist
MD
Hi there, I'm Sharon! Hello, my name is Sharon Bolden, LCPC. I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy. My goal is to assist you in resolving, reducing, or understanding your presenting issue. My approach I utilize a mindfulness and motivating approach in my therapy sessions, incorporating cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-based therapy. Motivating an individual toward making changes is important to me. My focus I primarily work with individuals over the age of 18 who present with conditions such as depression, anxiety, gambling, life changes, self-esteem, and substance use disorders. My communication style I generally use a direct approach to situations. Although I am person-centered, I also believe in accountability toward meeting goals. My journey to mental healthcare I started working with those who had gambling disorders and their families during the early years of my career. I then moved toward working with individuals with behavioral health concerns, which progressed to offering telehealth mental health therapy. My education I hold a Master's degree in Health Service Administration from Capella University and an Associate's degree from Graceland University. My goals for you I do not encourage setting too many goals at the onset of therapy. I believe in looking at goals on an immediate basis and then working forward with other less pressing concerns. My first session with you During the first session, I always ask what the client is seeking and if they have engaged in therapy in the past?what worked and what did not work.
