Shirley Katz, Ph.D., RP, is a Supervisor, University Instructor and Clinic Director who leans on 27 years experience to help ensure clients get to feel understood and respected, and benefit from therapy. She takes the time to answer inquiries. Note that we support LGBT2SQ+, teens, adults, relationships. A few of our therapists have in person offices and most offer video sessions. We are genuinely caring and ethical in matching clients with the best fit. We offer free discovery calls. Let us help you find your person. (Note: in alignment with regulatory guidelines we have removed "endorsements" from other therapists.
Our therapists work with compassion and cultural humility, collaborating on goals. With anxious and depressed clients, we draw from CBT/Mindfulness. With eating issues, the focus is emotions that have gone underground. Systemic, attachment focused and EFT methods are used with relationship issues as well as teaching boundaries, assertiveness, communication.
Those who find it hard to find a good fit usually do really well with us. You are not too complex to be understood! Its just about fit. We will be honest and genuine to help you determine if we are right for you. You deserve to have ease, confidence, peace of mind and energy to reach your goals. Call or email for a free consultation.
