“Shakira is, without a doubt, the best therapist I could have hoped for. From our very first session, she created a space where I could open up without fear of judgment, and that sense of safety became the foundation for real healing and growth in my life.
What sets Shakira apart is not only her expertise but her compassion and genuine care in every session. She notices the little details I share, remembers them, and works with me, side by side, to explore challenges and find solutions that fit me and build growth.
Shakira embodies the qualities of an outstanding therapist: empathy, professionalism, non-judgment, and unwavering dedication to her clients’ well-being. She combines warmth with practical strategies, making it easy to be vulnerable while also feeling guided and supported. Through her patience and insight, I’ve been able to grow into a healthier version of myself.
I’m deeply grateful for the impact she’s had on my life, and recommend her wholeheartedly. ”

Getting to know Shakira Barbarossa
Counseling can be essential during challenging life transitions such as divorce, family or friendship breakdowns, the loss of a loved one, relocating to a new country or state, significant changes in job, or lifestyle. I incorporate CBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy with a client-centered approach working in collaboration with the client.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that a strong and trusting bond in counseling allows the client to feel comfortable and secure in sharing thoughts and feelings which allows a process of healing and personal growth. I adopt a client centered approach, working collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and objectives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
It is important to be kind to yourself. You deserve to feel whole, empowered, and free from the weight of past pain. I offer a safe space to explore your story, untangle old wounds, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we'll navigate what's holding you back and make space for what's possible. Yo hablo ESPAÑOL y se lo importante que es poder expresar las emociones en su lenguaje y con exactitud.
