Women often come to me for help with big transitions, body image issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiving burnout, grief and bereavement, postpartum depression/anxiety/OCD (PMADs), fertility and reproductive issues, sexual trauma, and processing a new diagnosis.
Together, we can resolve the fear, guilt, shame, anger, confusion and numbness you may be feeling. We will work to increase self-understanding, improve your relationships, and create a healthy and peaceful inner world. You will feel empowered to explore the “why” behind your behavior, thoughts, and feelings without fear of judgement or criticism.

My specialties also include anxiety and panic disorders, perinatal mood disorders, OCD, and relationship issues.
My name is Masha Shapiro, and I am a triple-certified trauma therapist and am also EMDR-certified. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. Perhaps it was a single moment in childhood when your life changed forever. Or, a collection of events over an extended period of time. It might even be trauma experienced by a parent or relative that was passed down to you. Whatever your trauma origin story, it is time to rewrite the ending. Unlike traditional trauma therapy, the Trauma Fast-Track approach gets transformational results in as little as 3-6 sessions. Please note, I only accept Aetna and United. Otherwise, all sessions are self-pay.

Areas of subspecialty include, but are not limited to, reproductive health (infertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment and depression), contemporary family-making (same-sex parenting, single-parenting by choice, adoption and choosing to be child-free).
Are you wondering if it's possible to experience more satisfaction in your life? Have you noticed repetitive, self-defeating patterns hindering success in relationships or at work? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Unsure of exactly what you want for yourself? Considering therapy is the first step toward feeling better and finding fulfillment. In more than twenty-five years of practice, the transformative power of psychotherapy still impresses me. I view therapy as collaboration. Together, we will deepen your capacity for self-reflection, remove obstacles blocking you from reaching your full potential, and to finding your authentic self.

I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, and I provide support for all aspects of the fertility journey — including IVF, loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and the complex emotions that often accompany these experiences.
In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and persistent negative beliefs. If you’ve felt stuck — repeating old patterns, struggling to move forward, or carrying emotional pain from the past — EMDR can help unlock those barriers.

For over 20 years I have provided therapy for women navigating fertility treatments and difficult pregnancies, and for women struggling with the transition to motherhood and the unexpected challenges it brings. Anyone who is struggling to have a child feels a complex mix of emotions, and many people do not anticipate the toll it can take. Navigating fertility treatments and difficult pregnancies can feel like a constant roller coaster. Many women struggle with the transition to motherhood. So many new moms wonder "am I doing this right?" You feel like you're drowning, and it can make you feel ashamed, guilty and isolated.

I hold expertise in reproductive mental health, which centers around any person with concerns regarding conception, pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, miscarriage, abortion, adjustment to parenthood, and more.
You’re accomplished, driven, and everyone around you sees you as the one who has it all together. Friends and family come to you for advice—you’ve always been the “therapist” in your circle. Yet, beneath the surface, you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain. You question if this is truly the life you want, or if you’re simply playing a role others expect of you. I’m here to help you find the peace and clarity you’re looking for.
