Aetna Therapists in North, Raleigh, NC

Accepting new clients! I offer individual therapy with adults and older teens (16+). I enjoy working with a variety of topics including stress, depression, anxiety & OCD, eating & body image concerns, young adulthood, relationships, identity, and various spiritual/religious concerns (e.g. religious trauma, faith deconstruction/questioning, or moral scrupulosity). I often find that we - or the world around us - can put such pressure on ourselves to "keep it all together" or even be "perfect" whether in work or school, family or relationships, diet or exercise, or otherwise. But that can be a heavy load to carry.

Are you struggling to navigate periods of worry, sadness, low self-esteem, or life transitions? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work and personal life. Have you recently gone through a breakup or experienced the loss of a loved one? Are you searching for purpose and seeking peace of mind? If this resonates with you, remember that you're not alone. It's okay to feel overwhelmed and stuck, but you don't have to face it by yourself. By collaborating, I strive to help you build resilience and enhance your ability to handle life's ups and downs, ultimately leading to a more satisfying and happier life.

I know in this crazy time and uncertainty in the world we as people are struggling with a lot of life stressors that often causes a lot of anxiety, depression, and other emotions that we just cannot manage at times. Life stressors may also cause some relationship conflicts that often causes disruptions in homes, but I am here to help you learn how to cope with your daily stressors and help you navigate through your life journey. By using a nonjudgmental, caring, and respectful approach you will be able to process your thoughts and feelings and learn how to cope with your daily stressors.

Since receiving my MSW in 2015, I have had the privilege of working with a variety of clients including children and adults in medical and private practice settings. Though I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients, I have a passion for and love working with women. I look forward to working together to determine practical tools thatcreate lasting impact and change. I am grateful for every opportunity to partner with women of all ages, stages, and walks of life as they navigate the many curve balls that are thrown at us with extra kindness, grace, and more resilience.

Hello. My name is Sharon Bradley. I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2016 with a Masters Degree in Social Work, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and mental health therapist. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, to include Employee Assistance Programs, inpatient psychiatric unit, community homebased mental health, and the VA. My approach to treatment, is that I only use evidenced based psychotherapies (EBP) in my practice, as EBPs are designed to be goal oriented, time limited, structured and with evidence to support their effectiveness in reducing the impact of the problem area.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior, wish to overcome the consequences of traumatic experiences, or feel stuck in your life journey, I invite you to contact me. As a therapist, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment for individuals to gain greater self-awareness and self-regulation. In our work together, we will hold space for difficult emotions, identify patterns that have helped you in the past and may not be serving you now, and develop new skills so that you are able to gently move toward living a more fulfilling life aligned with your values.

Are you feeling anxious? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Have you been feeling depressed? Irritable? Unsure of how to feel better or move forward? Are you turning to coping skills that may work in the short-run but offer no long-term potential to help you develop confidence and resilience? If you are struggling with these issues, our work together can help you cultivate a more meaningful life when it comes to love, work, and play. Our work together will focus on developing the tools and the practical "know-how" so that you can meet the challenges of life with calmness and confidence and sustain this growth.

The difference between a successful person and one who isn’t can simply be a function of having a personalized treatment plan or blueprint. My focus is on you and what I can do to assist you, to get you to where you want to be in life.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to uncover solutions, and pave the road to your happiness and dream fulfillment.

I work with clients that are coming to counseling for parenting, family of origin issues, perinatal mental health, and perfectionism. My clients are often parents or young adults that are struggling to feel like they are doing a good job. They feel overwhelmed and a little depressed. They are struggling with issues that stem from their own childhood and upbringing. I work with them on showing themselves grace and compassion. We reframe and examine negative thoughts they are having, and I work with them to heal from their childhood wounds. We work together to define and appreciate all of their many roles and identities.

Are you tired of repeating the same cycles and patterns in life? Battling past trauma, unhealthy relationships, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem?

With therapy you can learn the tools to recognize and change the self-sabotaging thinking and behaviors.
