More about Sherry

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMHC, LPC, LMHC

To all my Prospective Clients:

Hello, I am Sherry ("Share") Friedman,

I am a National l Board Certified Counselor (NCC), clinically licensed as a mental health counselor (LCMHC) in the states of Rhode Island, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I have over eight years of experience working as a psychotherapist from a Jungian (transformational and psychodynamic) clinical orientation.

My counseling approach is holistic and multi-dimensional. This means exploring the biopsychosocial, emotional, cultural, energetic, spiritual, and cosmological influences that may be creating stress, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, relationship issues, and career challenges.

In my background as a nurse, doula, and energy healer, I have also helped support women with postpartum depression and parents experiencing adjustment issues associated with their changing roles.

As a psychotherapist with a warm, interactive counseling style, I tend to gravitate toward clinical assessment and listening skills based on "Listening with HEART" (Healing, Energy, Awareness, Resiliency, Transformation).

I believe strongly in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), I am skilled at creating a safe space for my HSP clients and empowering them to discover and embrace their gifts of compassion and empathy with healthy boundaries.

The ultimate goal of all therapy is transformation, so that we can exist 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 support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

All the best,

Sherry Ann Friedman, NCC, LCMHC, MA, MS Ed., MSCC

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sherry (Share) is truly amazing in what she does. I’m shocked that BetterHelp got me the perfect match on the first try. From our first session, she has been more than helpful. Thank you.

Sherry is truly a special therapist. I have had several therapist throughout my life - depending on different locations I was in and different events taking place in my life. Finding a therapist that you resonate with can be such a daunting task. I truly feel a higher power brought me to this therapist. She challenges me, supports me, and always leaves me pondering things we discuss after our sessions. I feel very comfortable when speaking with her. She is the perfect mix of scientifically back evidence and free-form that I have been looking for. I’m very pleased !

I have appreciated all that Sherry has done to help me over the last several months. She is a good listener and I would recommend her to others.

Reviewed August 2023

I absolutely love Sherry and her ability to understand what techniques work and what may not. She is incredibly open, transparent, and flexible. She allows herself to be vulnerable with you as you share your vulnerability. That is a key part to how she helped me connect back with my inner self and begin my healing journey as I take ahold of this new chapter in my life. Wonderful and would recommend her to anyone who is feeling disconnected from their true selves.

Sherry is so open minded, caring, and highly responsive. I love working with her. She is really supportive and non-judgemental. A really great therapist that has a plethora of knowledge in many areas, which helps me relate to her feedback and helps me process in my own way. I love her non-traditional methods she brings to the table. It makes me feel seen and heard, which is absolutely helping me heal. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

My time working with Share has been pivotal in helping me shift from feeling like everything is too much and shutting down, into an expansive empowered energetic space of beginning to intuitively trust again which feels… huge! Not just for me, but for the good of my partnership. I deeply appreciate the support and space to feel seen and heard she has offered me on my journey this season, and the alignment of spirit I’ve found with her. She’s helped me come home to myself as a highly sensitive person and better honor my own needs.
