ABOUT SHIRA FEINSTEIN
I love helping couples (new and veteran) discover the underlying needs below their too-frequent bickering (read: fighting). I\'m also passionate about helping individuals find new tools for navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and BPD. Another speciality I have is supporting women (and their partners) with all things perinatal: infertility, miscarriage, maternal mental health, and parenting challenges. I draw on my advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Unified Protocol to help clients move forward.Clients describe me as warm, validating, and non-judgmental. I offer goal-directed, evidence-based therapy because I believe you should receive support that\'s proven to work. Often, we\'re not taught the most effective strategies for confronting challenges, so I help clients create their \"challenge toolkit.\" After a decade-long career in non-profit fundraising, psychology is a natural second career, marrying my deep passion for helping others with my experience in education and motivating individuals to action.Let me know if I can help you or someone you know find relief!
