Sharon A. Bell, PsyD

General Psychology Online and Chronic Pain; Depression, Anxiety, Relationship, Trauma

If there is one thing that separates Dr. Bell from other psychologists it is her exceptional ability to bridge the gap between research, medicine, psychology and theology.  She has great faith in the human spirit’s ability to communicate “issues,” then pulls from her vast knowledge bank to explain the impact on health, work, or family and recommend real solutions that work for you.

Dr. Sharon Bell is a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Phoenix, AZ who specializes in general psychology and chronic pain, difficulty adjusting to medical illness or injury, complications of aging, end-of-life issues, grief and loss, caregiver burnout, personal adjustment with aging parents, and problems with obesity in adults over age 18. She has worked in a medical diagnostic setting for over thirty years and is formally trained as a Health Psychologist which translates into the ability to view the body as an inter-related system.

Dr. Bell obtained a Master’s Degree in Psychology and a Doctorate Degree in Health Psychology from the Colorado School of Professional Psychology.  In addition, she obtained advanced training and mentoring from renowned experts in research, medicine, psychology and theology.  She has authored several articles and lectured both nationally and internationally on cognitive therapy, stress management, healthy aging, obesity and chronic pain. 

A personal note from Dr. Bell:  I remain grounded in the morals, values and experiences from my childhood growing up in Oklahoma.  I see all people as existing on an equal playing field, each with personal genius/value, and deserving of feeling important, loved, and safe.  I respect that we can have varying experiences during our lifetimes and some of them can be painful; which is precisely when we need to mobilize resources such as those provided by a therapist. Why? To change what we can, adapt to things outside our control, and achieve peace and understanding much faster than attempting to do this alone. This is a lesson I have learned both personally and professionally.

My hours are flexible and I would appreciate an e-mail to set a time that works for both of us. Thank you for visiting my biography and I look forward to helping you with your goals in life.
