Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in New York, NY

Do you experience anxious feelings and thoughts that you cannot seem to get rid of? Are you avoiding people, places, and things you love the most? You are a new mom and feel stressed, overwhelmed, and worry that things in your life will not change. Are you stuck in what feels like a repetitive spiral of thoughts and behaviors? I help people like you claim their life back. My practice will help you explore and implement coping strategies to help you achieve the relief you are looking for.

Therapy can create a safe and supportive environment to rebuild resiliency and a sense of balance following a crisis or major life event. For many of my patients, the decision to start a family is met with unexpected hurdles such as fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy and postpartum depression/anxiety. I help women navigate the isolation, loneliness and strained relationships that are common to these experiences. I hold space for both grief and hope throughout your unique journey.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treating adults with a range of difficulties, including OCD, panic, social anxiety, uncontrollable worry, depression, and trauma. I also work with new parents finding their way through parenthood, particularly those struggling with anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum. I believe in flexibly applying evidence-based treatments to meet the needs of the whole person. I offer practical tools to reduce suffering in the present, and to help you move toward a life of value and meaning. However, I also aim to understand how your past experiences and identities shape your worldview.

I utilize in my therapy practice a Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Adlerian Style. The style of therapy is based on your personal needs and the identification of your goals. I learn about you, to understand you, including your past, and current life experiences. This is your therapy, and I will strive to give you a positive and rewarding experience. Therapy is a journey, and I will be there with you, not behind, or ahead, but beside you. You will have a non judgmental person, not only hearing you, but listening- leading to a sense of understanding of your needs and goals. Please reach out, for you.

We all go through challenging times in our lives no matter how old we are. Some people choose to deal with those challenges on their own and some make the choice to share their thoughts, concerns, pain, anger, frustrations with someone who can help them go through resolution of their conflicts. Being in treatment can change profoundly someone’s life only if one wishes and wants to do that.

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.
