Dr. Kenneth Sheldon, NC Psychologist 1573

Dr. Kenneth Sheldon is a retired psychologist based in North Carolina with four decades of experience working across mental health and educational settings. Over a long career he has practiced in a state vocational rehabilitation center, public schools, private practice, a community mental health center, and has taught at a small university. These varied roles allowed him to build a broad skill set and a practical toolbox of techniques drawn from many training programs and professional environments.

He holds the license NC Psychologist 1573, which identifies him as a licensed psychologist in the state of North Carolina. Dr. Sheldon favors a blended approach that combines solution-focused and cognitive behavioral strategies, helping clients clarify goals and develop concrete steps to reach them. He encourages clients to discover their own paths and supports them in creating personalized ways to achieve change rather than prescribing a single method.

Dr. Sheldon also values human connection beyond therapy - he enjoys travel and learning about other cultures, and he believes that a sense of humor and an appreciation for music can lighten difficult work. He asks new clients to commit to at least three sessions so there is time to build rapport, explore goals, and decide whether his style is the right match. His practice addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, depression, family issues, grief, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related areas.
