Great to meet you!

👋 Hey there! I'm Shira. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice, offering telehealth-only sessions in NY and Florida. With compassion and a touch of humor, I work with young adults navigating “life stuff” — the heavy topics that aren’t always welcome elsewhere, like anxiety, depression, childhood, family, and relationship dynamics, and transition-related stress (moving between states, entering the workforce, relationships — you name it). I’m here for you through it all.

The young adults I work with come from all walks of life. Some are stepping into therapy for the very first time, while others are returning with the hope of going deeper in their personal growth. If you're feeling the pressure of life, or just trying to make sense of your emotions — or you're dealing with anxiety, family dynamics, or feeling stuck — you're not alone. Therapy with me is a space to sort through the messy middle and build clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

Our work will balance insight with action. Sessions are tailored to you, blending reflective dialogue with practical tools so you’re not only heard, but also supported in making meaningful shifts within your life - even as soon as our session ends. I believe in transparency and creating a therapeutic space together with you that feels safe, grounded, and even a little lighthearted when it’s needed most.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions with a clearer understanding of themselves, a greater sense of agency, and strategies that are actually usable in real life. My hope is that therapy gives you space to grow in resilience, reconnect with joy, and feel equipped to meet life on your terms. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply wanting to feel better — I’d love to help you move forward.
