Getting to know Shira Adams

Hey there! I'm so glad you’re here. I welcome folks from all walks of life: juggling life transitions, managing pain, healing from traumatic experiences, and repairing relationships with themselves and others. I work relationally and collaboratively, giving space for creativity, attunement, and meaningful connection. I prioritize building an authentic, cozy space where you can explore, learn, feel, and ultimately heal. Clients have called our sessions warm, affirming, transformative, and with space for laughter along the way. If your heart is ready, let’s schedule a session! My approach I combine somatic therapy (like EMDR), creative arts techniques, and mindfulness-based practices for integrative, full-body, whole human, care. Together, we'll identify goals that prioritize growth and healing at a manageable and sustainable pace. As a queer, survivor of trauma, who manages chronic pain myself, I bring a unique form of empathy and understanding to our work. I’m a practiced guide at affirming identities, unpacking intergenerational patterns of harm, recognizing systemic oppression, and building tools for self empowerment. Our journey may include art, movement, meditations, music, storytelling, and a whole lot of worthwhile reflection. Each path looks different and is guided by your unique needs. My focus I specialize in working with trauma of all types, gender and sexuality exploration, difficult life transitions, chronic pain, neurodivergence, self-esteem building, anxiety management, and repairing relationships. No matter what you are working on, we’ll form a valuable connection and set a path towards achieving your goals collaboratively. My communication style I offer open, compassionate, and clear communication to support a non-judgmental environment. When working through difficult topics, I provide options, check-ins, space, and warmth. Safety is a priority in our work together. My journey to mental healthcare I have a background in visual art and theater.
