Debra Shapiro, LMSW

I have witnessed the miraculous ability of individuals to create change and achieve personal growth many times. It is possible to move beyond distress and feelings of being “shamed" or "stuck". My role is to offer a non-judgemental nurturing, safe space where you can explore your challenges and build the life you desire. Approaching each session with compassion, strengths based, trauma-informed perspective, ensures that your unique experiences and your cultures are honored, validated and respected. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you rediscover your strengths and harness them as tools for a growth mindset.

Life Stories can change by the insight provided in therapy. We will Identify challenges and transitions, not as obstacles, but opportunities for self-discovery and growth. Whether you are seeking clarity in your life's purpose, navigating hard times, or walking the path of life's ups or downs, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Experience with youth, highly sensitive people, parenting/adoption, cancer diagnosis/survivors, ADHD, anxiety, couples, and neurodiversity, It is a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey, offering hope, guidance, and validation. Whatever your path, my commitment is to help you embrace your potential, and create a life guided by your heart and soul.
