Lesley Shapiro, AMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi, I'm Lesley Shapiro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with an emphasis in Clinical Counseling, from Touro University, California. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from UCLA and possess two active teaching credentials in California. With over two years of experience in community mental health and private practice, I have effectively treated a diverse array of issues, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anger management, substance abuse, domestic violence, family estrangement, and relationship challenges for both adults and adolescents. Before embarking on my therapy career, I served as an educator in Los Angeles, teaching at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. In my role as the special education coordinator for both middle and high schools, I facilitated thousands of Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, collaborating closely with teachers, psychologists, students, and their families. These years provided me with intense experience of the social, familial, and academic challenges faced by adolescents. I integrate therapeutic models such as Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. Additionally, I am trained in CBT for Insomnia, Mental Health First Aid, and Crisis Intervention. I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and create a safe and welcoming environment where we can explore your issues, thoughts and feelings. LMFT #159922
