Sharon Bolden

My communication style

I generally use a direct approach to situations. Although I am person-centered, I also believe in accountability towards meeting goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started working with those who had gambling disorders and their families during the early years of my career. I moved in the direction of those who had behavioral health concerns, which progressed to my offering mental health therapy.

My goals for you

I do not encourage setting too many goals at the onset of therapy. I believe in looking at goals on an immediate basis and then working forward with other less pressing concerns.

Our first session

During the first session, I always request to know what the client is seeking and if they have engaged in therapy in the past, what worked and what did not work.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian
