About
I am Sherry Ann (Shira) Friedman, an HSP (highly sensitive person), transpersonal psychotherapist, life coach, and holistic energy healer. My clinical orientation is Jungian and my counseling approach is holistic. I strongly recommend body/mind/spirit complementary wellness modalities (yoga, Tai Chi, Buddhist-informed Meditation, massage, chakra balancing, acupuncture, Earthing, and ecotherapy.
In addition to my credentials as a National Certified Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Rhode Island, I hold a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University (Nebraska), a Master of Science Degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Gifted Education from Purdue University, and a Master of Arts Degree in School Psychology from Ball State University.
I am an HSP Psychotherapist specializing in life coaching for Highly Sensitive people, a Reiki Master, former nurse and member of the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA), former Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist (trained in Cranial Sacral therapy, reflexology, aromatherapy, chakra balancing, crystal healing therapy, and selected breathing methods), birth & postpartum doula, former home-school Mom of seven adults, grandmother, herbalist, and homesteader residing in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
My journey to becoming a psychotherapist includes the practice of spiritual alchemy as prescribed by Carl Jung to help hundreds of clients transform their lives and heal from trauma. My book, “Midwife of the Soul: A teaching memoir through the lens of an HSP Psychotherapist” (being published by Atmosphere Press) is part teaching memoir, part resource guide for Highly Sensitive People.
My mission as a clinical therapist and life coach is to serve my clients as a “midwife of the soul” by helping them transmute their weaknesses into strengths with the goal of transforming their lives as they participate in the joyful process of birthing their own unique soul.
