I am a compassionate person, who currently serves as a Travel Social Worker, where I provide essential individual and group therapy to clients in need by focusing on clinical assessments and crisis interventions. I ensure that clients experiencing self-injurious behaviors receive ongoing support.

In this position, I overseen a team of therapists, facilitate therapy sessions for both children and adults, and engage in court-related matters. With a strong foundation in therapy and clinical supervision, I have developed skills in treatment planning, documentation, and quality assurance.

100% virtual telehealth counseling provided! Currently accepting clients who are physically located in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, or Oregon.

I work with adults who have noticed their use of substances becoming disruptive to their life. They want to change their patterns and habits before other areas are affected. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where sustainable habits can be built, without judgment.

I take a person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are with compassion and respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you move toward the future you want. Together, we identify your existing strengths and skills, building on what’s already working while exploring what can be done differently to support meaningful change.

This approach emphasizes your present circumstances and future goals, helping you create practical, forward-moving solutions rather than staying stuck in the past.

Welcome! My name is Diana Hunter-Eldridge. I've been working in the mental health field for 10+years and have a master's in nursing. I'm here to work alongside you to have a better quality of life. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar or ADHD you don't have to go through this journey alone.

I’m Sharon Elizabeth Locklear, LCSW, ACSW, and I bring more than 30 years of experience as a mental health practitioner. My career has included work in private practice, hospitals, the U.S. Army, and the VA, supporting individuals through grief, trauma, caregiving, chronic health concerns, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and complex mental health challenges.

I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while caring for others, managing responsibilities, or simply trying to survive difficult circumstances. I believe people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create lives that reflect who they truly are. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you recognize your strengths, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and move toward the life you want to create.

Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.

Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.

Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.
