Dr. Sharon Bland-Brady

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, supportive, non-judgmental, direct, open, and honest. I will practice active listening during most of the session, but will provide feedback when necessary, and give my clients an opportunity to ask questions. During the session, we will reflect on your experiences and challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to choosing to be a therapist was due to a strong need to help others accomplish their goals, desires, and live challenges. I have worked with emotionally challenged children, foster care, disabled clients, the aging population, Veterans, and couples. I found therapy to be rewarding and inspiring for me. I love seeing clients grow.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a team effort, and we will work on your goals together. Whether your goals are building your self-esteem or working on your relationships. As you gain new insights or face challenges, we will adapt the goals accordingly.

Our first session

The first session will be getting to know one another and discussing what brought you to therapy. I know that you may be a little nervous because you may not know what to expect, but that is normal. I want to acknowledge and commend you for taking this as a big step in your healing journey. We will take one step at a time and move at your pace.
