Meet Sharon Carrigg Bailey

With 38 years of working with individuals and families, I specialize in helping people make changes and progress with depression, anxiety, marital discord, parenting, and other life challenges. As a therapist, I take a nonjudgemental approach in helping people take control of their lives.

Some things to ask yourself:

Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or another life challenge?

Does your child/adolescent need assistance in expressing feelings?

Does your child/adolescent push the limits?

Have you and your spouse grown apart?

Becoming stronger as an individual/family and strengthening boundaries and roles are my number one goals. As a therapist, I specialize working with individuals and families incorporating Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Family Systems Therapy. Through therapeutic sessions, the client will be able to make connections with past experiences to current behavior, thinking and choices. In addition, identify areas of being "stuck" and healthier alternatives.

Remember relationships and individual well-being do not exist in isolation; my work focuses on breaking negative communication cycles, rebuilding trust, and establishing healthy boundaries that allow you to thrive.

Other Comprehensive Specialized Services: While my daily clinical practice centers on adults, teenagers and couples, my extensive background as an Licensed Educational Psychologist and a school administrator allows me to offer highly specialized therapy with children and consultation in select areas:

Psycho-Educational Assessments
Special Education Advocacy
Executive Functioning & ADHD Coaching

Individual Therapy

My work with individuals focuses on creating a safe haven where you can explore the depths of your experiences without judgment. Together, we navigate the complexities of your inner world, fostering clarity and resilience.

Using evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs, we collaborate to identify patterns and foster growth, rooted in compassion and healing connections.

Couples Counseling

Relational healing begins with open communication and mutual understanding. I help couples decode cycles of conflict and rediscover their connection in a supportive space.

We focus on collaborative strategies that honor both partners' perspectives, building trust and strengthening the emotional bond that sustains your partnership.

Family Systems

Family therapy views the family as an interconnected unit. I work with families to navigate transitions and establish healthy boundaries, nurturing a culture of support.

By fostering new ways of relating, we guide your family toward lasting healing. Every voice matters in creating meaningful healing connections.
