Hi, my name is Dr. Sharon Fried-Buchalter, a Licensed Distinguished Clinical Psychologist, Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Clinical Social Worker. I have received the highest accreditation as a Board-Certified Diplomate-Fellow in advanced child and adolescent psychology, marital and family relations, psychoeducational assessment, hypnotherapy, and clinical psychology.

In my 20 years plus career as a Distinguished Clinical Psychologist I treated patients with depression, anxiety, trauma, marital and family conflict and repressed memories. I have counseled children, adolescents, parents, couples, and families, to overcome obstacles, find their inner strength, achieve their goals, and find true happiness!

Utilizing my multi-modality approach, I combine different types of therapy that includes psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play, hypnotherapy, and family systems approach. I also have expertise in the assessment and counseling of neuro-diverse children of all ages.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I conduct hypnotherapy for pain and behavioral management, and regression therapy. I am also trained in Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), which is a short-term solution focused approach to healing trauma.

Working with my patients over the years has given me the opportunity to not only provide professional therapy, but also give them the tools to become more confident and self-assured as they follow their life’s journey.

As an award-winning author, my books have supplied parents with various revolutionary tools to help couples, parents, and families achieve happiness and success. My books were based on my wide range of successful workshops that focus on topics such as family leadership, new parent survival skills, and life skills training for teens and college students.

My first book “Children Are People Too”, provides eight essential steps designed to strengthen families and empower parents to be their own child’s life coach. While “New Parents Are People Too”, provides relationship advice for couples entering parenthood for the first time and teaches how to not lose your own individuality.

In addition, I’ve written many articles for national and local publications, including an advice column, and appeared as a consultant on various local and national television programs including CNN and the Montel Williams Show.

For both public and private organizations, I developed leadership training programs and workshops on stress management, smoking cessation, and improving interpersonal communications.

In my capacity as a Corporate Training and Development Director, I coached and taught CEO’s necessary corporate leadership skills, as well as maintaining a positive mindset.

As a master life coach, my mission is to educate, enlighten, and empower my clients to reach their full potential, transform into leaders, and become their own life coach. I use both my professional and life experiences to guide my clients in areas of mindset, parenting, well-being and goal setting.

Come join me and embark on a new journey to find your personal success and happiness!
