Sharon Bowen
Hello to all! My name is Sharon Bowen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) primarily working with older teens and adults via virtual/telehealth means. I completed my Masters in Social Work at UNC Chapel Hill in 2010. Since that time, I have been in a number of roles such as a case manager, an advocate, and a mental health therapist for folks of all ages. I have worked in private practice realms, a hospital, and community settings. My goal is to help you along this journey into healing. Whether it is your first time or you have seen others in the past, I want to meet you where you are in the therapeutic process so we can move forward together. I know that therapy can bring out all sorts of feelings so I strive to provide a safe and open environment built on mutual respect. I have experience working with a variety of mental health and life concerns but some of my primary areas of focus are around depression, anxiety, life transitions, sexuality, and trauma.
Whether it is your first time or you have seen others in the past, I want to meet you where you are in the therapeutic process so we can move forward together.
I look forward to getting to know you soon!
First session
In the first session, I want to know who you are. I don't want to spend the whole time focusing on the "problem" though that is important. I like to start with getting to know who you are and then moving from there.
Strengths
I feel like my biggest strength is my openness. I can work with anyone, no matter their demographic.
Ideal clients
I don't have one ideal client. I have worked with a number of folks from all walks of life and with a variety of things going on ... I enjoy them all.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I use EMDR to help folks work through past trauma and how the past impacts the present.
