“I had tried therapy once before and didn't have the best experience, so I was hesitant to start again. When I started meeting with Daniel, I had intended to proceed carefully to make sure that everything was a good fit. That being said, he was able to seamlessly take our first conversation from introductory talks to more in depth in a way that was very comfortable for me. I think he was able to get a great read on the kind of discussion that worked best for me almost instantly. I am very excited to keep seeing him. ”

Getting to know Daniel Shabtai
I work with people who are motivated to make meaningful change in their lives. My clients often come in feeling stuck — in dating or relationships, overworking and struggling to find balance, or coping with chronic illness — and want practical insight combined with personal understanding. I help them reframe situations in a way that feels lighter and more constructive, guiding them toward clarity about what they want and how to go after it.
Sessions with me are warm, conversational, and lightly unstructured. I listen actively, show genuine curiosity, and know when to ask pointed questions that help clients see patterns they hadn’t considered. I also teach mindfulness-based skills when appropriate and provide guidance that is honest, supportive, and nonjudgmental.
I specialize in helping people navigate modern dating — whether starting to date, dating more consistently, setting boundaries, or understanding themselves better to avoid repeating patterns. Beyond relationships, I work with clients on cultivating sustainable change, improving self-understanding, and fostering inner kindness.
All of my work is conducted via Zoom, and I create an environment that feels close and collaborative, like a thoughtful conversation with someone who cares and can help you see things differently. Together, we identify manageable, growth-oriented goals and explore the shifts that lead to lasting positive change.

Ongoing session: $175-225 for 45 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
I can help verify if you have out-of-network benefits. I use a service called Thrizer that automatically submits superbills for you and allows you to only pay a copay for my sessions, typically saving clients on average 70% of my full rate every session.

I liked that Daniel tailored his approach specifically to my needs and goals. In the past, I have felt that I was made to fit into a particular mold. With Daniel, I feel that he works to learn who I am as an individual and then develop a treatment plan best fit for me.
