“Shira's approach strikes the difficult balance of being highly empathetic and pragmatic. Shira is an excellent listener; she encourages feelings to surface, validating experiences through some significant and challenging times, with practical insight and actionable advice.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the way Shira is able to extend our individual therapeutic relationship into the realm of our couples work. Shira maintains a seamless choreography, approaching every dynamic (between us as a couple, and between herself and each one of us) with empathy and pragmatism. It is clear that Shira is drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience, including in terms of the diversity of the thought-schools she borrows from, but her support never feels academic or theoretical. In particular because my partner is less familiar with therapy, I am extremely grateful for her directness, and 'no nonsense' attitude. Shira is able to speak in a language that speaks to the both of us.”

Getting to know Shira Hon-Lahav
I am an Out-of-Network provider happy to fulfill your needs and goals. With a Master’s in Psychology and Drama Therapy from New York University, my integrated approach to psychotherapy fosters reflection and self-awareness, permitting clients to express themselves openly in whatever manner they choose. In using this approach, I am able to work with clients in a comforting, non-judgmental environment, providing diagnoses as well as therapeutic care. My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you the root cause of desires, aversions, and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back.
In the process of undergoing therapy, you will learn to identify problems while also understanding and applying their solutions. Ultimately, these skills will lead you to a more meaningful life and provide you with healthier ways to communicate. My style is interactive and applies both verbal and creative techniques to access the unconscious. As an active listener, I’ll structure personalized sessions customized to your unique needs.
My session rates are $350 for individual therapy and $425 for couples/family therapy. As an Out-of-Network provider, I unfortunately do NOT take insurance directly, but many insurance companies will reimburse you in part or whole for your visit, at which an invoice will be sent to them. Please contact your provider to see if they will cover you.

I’ve been seeing Shira for the past two years and it has been a life changing experience. Today, I’m able to express myself and deal with my emotions in way I never thought possible. her unique approach, ability to listen and how we analyze together what I’m going through is truly remarkable. Our weekly sessions are something I truly look forward too, can’t recommend her enough !

I've been seeing Shira since 2016 and the effects have been profound: professionally and personally, I've grown and achieved goals that felt like idle dreams before. I've gained tools to appropriately structure my time and to take my aspirations seriously. I couldn't ask for a more genuine and safe environment to discuss my innermost thoughts and continue working towards my goals.

I have been working with Shira for 6 years now, and I can’t imagine working with anyone else. I have found many therapists to be so clinical writing down names for their own memory, and I find it hard to open up in that environment. You will never find Shira with a clipboard. She sits and has an equal sided conversation filled with compassion and empathy. While feeling with her clients, Shira is able to give a broader perspective leaving you with a fuller understanding of what’s happening in your life. I could not give her a higher rating.

I’ve been seeing Shira for the last three years to help me with anxiety, public speaking, as well as interpersonal relationships. Since I’ve been working with her, I have been able to manage my anxiety much better, incorporated healthy habits j to my life, and learned that I deserve to set boundaries in relationships and how to do that. I am so grateful to have Shira as a major support in my life and someone I can talk to about anything.

Shira is really warm and I immediately trusted her during our first session. She listened to me with empathy. Shira has a unique approach to processing things with me. I look forward to working with her more...
