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.
Take the first step to help. Call or Sharika Bazemore now - (919) 887-8813
