Getting to know Diana Shapiro

Hi there, I'm Diana! Therapy is, first and foremost, a commitment to yourself. I will be with you all the way, offering a supportive, collaborative approach. I have been doing this for over 2 decades, and have a lot of tools in my toolbox to share if and when needed or requested. My focus If you feel different and do not fit into societal norms, we will probably work very well together. You may be different in terms of sexual orientation, gender, race, culture, religion or simply because you don't share the values of mainstream culture. There's strength in difference and you'll find an affirming therapist in me! My approach My approach is collaborative, honest, and non-judgmental. My original training is in Humanistic psychology, which is all about how to be empathic, understanding and show unconditional positive regard. On top of that, I've taken many trainings over the years and am happy to share the tools I've learned with you if and when it seems appropriate! My communication style My communication style is open, honest, warm, and collaborative. Even when I feel the need to challenge my clients, it can be done in a warm, non-judgmental way. My journey to mental healthcare I started as a peer counselor at a free clinic back in the late 90's. I enjoyed working with people so much that after volunteering for a couple years, I went back to grad school for counseling and have never looked back! My goals for you Let's work together to see what your goals are and refine them. (They may change over time). Then, let's see what strengths, skills and resources you already bring to the table that can be harnessed to meet those goals. Sometimes, meeting goals involves a change in perspective, so we may need to look at that together. Our first session In the first session, I will likely ask you some open-ended questions that help me get to know about you and your life and what you would like out of therapy.
