Dr. Kenneth Sheldon

Dr. Kenneth Sheldon is a retired psychologist practicing in North Carolina with forty years of experience in mental health and educational settings. Over his career he has worked 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 have informed a broad, practice-based perspective on assessment and treatment.

He completed training at institutions in Wyoming, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia, gathering a range of therapeutic approaches to include in his clinical toolbox. Dr. Sheldon prefers an integration of solution-focused and cognitive-based techniques, believing that most people have goals but may need guidance to identify the steps to reach them. His role is to help clients discover the best path for themselves and to support clients as they design their own routes to change.

Outside of professional work, he enjoys traveling and learning about other cultures, and he finds that a sense of humor and an appreciation for music often assist in the therapeutic process. He aims to walk alongside clients as they pursue their goals and asks that new clients commit to at least three sessions so he can better understand their needs and they can determine whether he is the right fit. He is a licensed psychologist in North Carolina.
