Sherry Friedman

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

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), author of “Midwife of the Soul: A Teaching Memoir Through the Lens of an HSP Psychotherapist, Empath, Healer, and Reiki Master, I am skilled at creating an emotionally safe space and building rapport with my clients. I empower my clients to discover and embrace their gifts and strengths and maintain 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 self-discovery, transformation, and moving 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 (“Shira”) Friedman, NCC, LCMHC

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether virtual counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people. One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit treatment into busy schedules and day-to-day life. All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy can offer accessible, adaptable support for many common mental health and life concerns.
