If you are interested in seeing Dr. Shapiro for therapy, you may be
struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved grief, persistent
anger or resentment, sexual concerns, or feelings that something is
just not right in your life. Do you feel that something inside
prevents you from fully being the person you'd like to be? Are your
relationship dynamics troubling, with persistent, frustrating
patterns that don't lead to resolution? Perhaps you find yourself
repeating unhealthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors that you
would like to be free of.
Dr. Shapiro uses a variety of therapeutic modalities to assist in
healing and recovery from these problems and others. You may
benefit from traditional talk therapy, which offers you a safe space
to explore your thoughts and feelings about the issues in your life
and work toward new approaches. Couples often benefit from the
chance to become more aware of the patterns that keep them stuck
and to work on changing them behaviorally. In addition, deeper
healing can often be found through integrative practices that work
on emotional, somatic, and energetic as well as psychological and
cognitive levels.
Dr. Shapiro is an experienced therapist with years of experience
helping people make lasting changes. Beyond her clinical training
and continuing education in psychology, she has trained in EMDR,
Mind-Body Stress Reduction (MBSR), Advanced Yoga,
Bioenergetics, Acupressure, ISIS (integrating spirituality and
sexuality), Heart in Sexuality Integration, spiritual energy healing,
and other modalities. Mindfulness, present moment awareness,
and honoring all the ways our selves express themselves are key
components of how I work. Your individual or couples sessions
will be completely personalized to you and may include any of
those approaches that we decide together may be useful.
Sexual problems in particular often respond best to an approach
that includes the integration of body, mind, emotions, and spirit,
since our sexual self includes all those aspects. Sex therapy is talk
therapy for individuals or couples where the topic is a sexual
concern. Dr. Shapiro will help you evaluate the problem, identify
options for change, and suggest practical homework to help you
work toward the changes you desire. Often people wait a long
time before seeking help for sexual problems, and this can create
secondary problems, such as depression, low self-esteem,
insecurity, and isolation, as well as anger, sadness, and frustration
in relationships. Sexual problems are quite common, even among
young people, so you are not alone! Facing your problems can be
scary, but it will help you be more fulfilled in the long run.
Sex therapy can help you with issues such as:
• Sexual desire issues
• Differences in desire level between partners
• Painful intercourse and genital pain
• Difficulty with arousal/erections
• Difficulty with orgasm/ejaculations
• Vaginismus
• Concerns about sexual orientation
• Concerns about gender identity/gender therapy/HRT eval
Dr. Shapiro is experienced in working with gender dysphoria, the
GLBTQ community, and sexual minorities. Get the help you need!
In addition to sex therapy, Dr. Shapiro offers sex coaching. Sex
coaching may be right for you if want to enhance your capacity for
sexual pleasure and enjoyment, with your partner or on your own.
Sex coaching may be for you if you want to:
Perhaps you find that while you don't have a specific sexual
problem, the deep satisfaction you long for is lacking, or you want
to learn methods for enhancing an already great erotic relationship.
Dr. Shapiro will work with you to develop your authentic and
soulful sexual self-expression. Erotic energy is a powerful
resource within that can be cultivated for more fulfillment in all of
life. Easy-to-learn techniques of mindful presence, breathing,
connecting with heart, mind and body, partner massage,
playfulness, and invoking the sacred in sex can lead to more joy,
pleasure and full-on ecstasy! The key is being present, aware,
open, and integrating all of yourself into all forms of lovemaking.
Dr. Shapiro offers private, confidential therapy and coaching
sessions for individuals and couples. She also offers workshops
and retreats in yoga, shamanic journeying, integrating sex and
spirit, and seasonal meditation retreats.
To schedule an appointment, call (850) 222-0003 or email.
