Getting to know Shirli Libet

Hi there, I'm Shirli! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience helping women, couples, and families navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I specialize in maternal mental health, women’s wellness, young families, and the unique stressors facing healthcare professionals. My practice offers a warm, supportive space to reconnect with yourself and create real, lasting change. My approach My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and family systems therapy. I believe in meeting clients where they are, holding space without judgment, and offering tools that work in real life, not just in theory. Therapy with me is about insight and action. I help clients build awareness, develop practical strategies, and find their way back to themselves, especially when life feels overwhelming. My focus I specialize in working with women, young families, new parents, and healthcare professionals. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling burnt out, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves or their relationships. Whether you're navigating infertility, postpartum changes, partnership stress, or just trying to keep it together while caring for everyone else, I’m here to support your healing and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected. My communication style Clients often say they feel comfortable with me quickly. I’m warm, grounded, and fully engaged in the work. If you're looking for a therapist who just listens and nods, I may not be the right fit—I’m direct, honest, and here to help you make meaningful progress. I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, but always with compassion and respect. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to people’s inner worlds—what they carry, what they hide, what they survive.
