Great to meet you!

Dr. Shira Kessler specializes in complex trauma, attachment, depression, and anxiety, and works with ages 18-30. She spent years researching emerging adulthood development and the challenges common at this stage. Her goal is to help individuals free themselves from their circular struggles, set a solid foundation for the future, and live the life they want.

My approach to therapy

If you are ready to do the work, you will find things out about yourself that you never knew existed. Therapy is an investment in your future relationships, yourself, and your family dynamics. The potential for growth and change in therapy is enormous. Emerging adulthood is the best stage to make big changes in your life, and therapy can help set up the foundation to your life in a healthy way!

What you can expect from me

I help motivated people explore their patterns, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can gain more control, confidence and feel unstuck.
