I am Sharika Bazemore, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience supporting young adults, especially college students, as they navigate mental health challenges and life transitions. I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, academic stress, and peer relationship struggles. My background includes experience in multiple systemic therapies, outpatient therapy, and school-based counseling. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, move through obstacles, and rise above challenges to create meaningful and lasting change.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from North Carolina State University. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and reality therapy, always tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals.

I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I’m here to listen and support you through life’s challenges. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out today so we can create the change you’re looking for together.

Sometimes life can feel like you're running on a treadmill—moving constantly but staying in the exact same place. Hard or painful events can be a single, monumental moment or the quiet, cumulative weight of carrying too much for too long. A former colleague once said, "I might not be the one who caused the problems in my life but I'm the one who has to fix them." Therapy works best as a collaborative partnership built on radical compassion, zero judgment, and genuine human connection. I believe everyone possesses an innate capacity to heal, and it would be my privilege to help you rediscover yours. 

My practice balances deep empathy with practical, evidence-based techniques. By blending CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered, trauma-informed care, we customize sessions to fit your unique needs. I specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those navigating gender-affirming care, as well as adults with anxiety, depression, and/or trauma. 

Healing isn't about erasing your past—it's about changing how the past lives in your present. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we will create a space where you can move out of survival mode and step into a life rooted in safety, resilience, and genuine peace. Let's figure out how to get you moving again, together.
