Preteen Therapists in H3X

The heart of great therapy starts with creating a sense of safety and comfort - and being offered the opportunity to express, understand and gain mastery over one's thoughts, feelings and behavior. There is genuine respect for the person's or couple's inherent strengths and capacities to engage in a process of change and growth. A mutual, clear understanding of the difficulties and challenges as well as the motivations, goals and expectations of the client guides the development and achievement of realistic, coherent and obtainable treatment goals - as well as greater functionality, well-being, performance and emotional stamina.

Hello, my name is Shira (she/her) and I want to navigate life's challenges with you. I am a clinical Social Worker and Child Behaviour Consultant. My goal is to create an empathetic, empowering, and non-judgmental environment for all my clients in order for them to feel safe, heard and understood. My main focus has been supporting my clients with issues such as, but not limited to, anxiety, social skill building, navigating friendships, emotion regulation, low self-esteem and exploring life changes.
