Sharon Phelan, LCSW, PMH-C | Perinatal Mental Health Therapist in North Carolina
|
Life changes can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and individualized to you. My goal is to provide a warm, genuine, and supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking openly, gaining a better understanding of yourself and what you are experiencing, and finding practical strategies that fit your needs and your life.
I help older teens and adults navigating a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and identity concerns, executive functioning challenges, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, college and career transitions, and other periods of change or uncertainty. As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified Therapist (PMH-C), I also work with individuals experiencing concerns related to pregnancy and postpartum, trying to conceive and fertility treatment, pregnancy and infant loss, and the transition to parenthood. I am an in-network provider with most major insurances including BCBS, United, Cigna and Aetna plans. I am currently only seeing clients through Video Telehealth. |
APPROACH
|
I use an integrative, person-centered approach tailored to the needs of each client. I draw from evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed care, strengths-based interventions, and solution-focused therapy.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Appalachian State University and have 10 years of experience in the mental health and social work field. I am licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.
