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

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Shes given me a different view of things all around. I can better understand the situations im in and how to control my feelings. Sherry is amazing!
Sherry is wonderful! She has been very helpful and insightful
Excellent therapist
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.
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.
She great.highly recommend
It felt like we were having a normal conversation and before I knew it, I was experiencing an “aha” moment.
I am enjoying my therapy sessions
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!
Sherry is very insightful and knowledgeable.
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.
I so value Sherry's wisdom, wide-ranging expertise, and broad perspective. She helped me broaden my own perspective and also to pinpoint issues and articulate questions I will continue to work with. Thank you, Sherry!
My experience with Sherry was nothing but amazing. She comforted and guided me with my best interests in mind! She helped me through a really hard period of time where I needed to make some huge decisions for myself and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her!
Sherry has completely changed my perspective and has helped me begin my own healing journey. I have been struggling for quite some time, and she is helping me get to a better place. Thank you Sherry!
It was an absolute pleasure and joy to work with Sherry! She provided a safe space to be vulnerable about my emotions and struggles while providing support and resources to help continue my healing! Such a divine spirit!
I’m beyond grateful with Ms sherry. Couldn’t have asked for a better match. Will come back for her for future sessions!!
Sherry is very compassionate and a pleasure to work with.
Sherry was genuinely kind and caring. Her expertise shows through in her work and she is a delight to talk to.
Sherry was wonderful to work with, very genuine caring, attentive. Sherry and I worked well together to discover optimal ways of moving through trauma and creating better habits and strategies for the future. I would recommend her to anyone!
Sherry has been wonderful in sending me so many resources that I really would like to pursue and in turn connecting on me on the path I'd like to take to a becoming a more well balanced person.
Provides support and unbiased and empathetic responses. Solution based orientated. She follows up on therapy and suggested homework between sessions and I really need that. Thank you sherry!!
Sherry is articulate and rational without diminishing her sense of compassion and kindness. She is very helpful in getting to the root of a problem and offering practical advice for improvement.
Wonderful! Can’t say one negative thing.
