About Willa Shapiro
If you are visiting this page and looking for a therapist I'd like to welcome you. I am a Clinical Social Worker Licensed in New York and Florida. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 35 years in NYC helping adults of all ages with emotional struggles and problems they experience within themselves, with family, friends and in their work situations. I have recently relocated to Boca Raton, Florida. I continue to practice with clients using video sessions. I am accepting new individuals and couples from NY using teletherapy (video sessions) and clients visiting or living in the South Florida area for in person or video therapy.
It is difficult to acknowledge that one has personal problems and even harder to face our own part in these problems. It is human nature to protect ourselves from looking into painful realities about ourselves, our situations and our loved ones. When we are unable to - just feel better - or work out a situation or relationship on our own it is a signal that we need the help of a skilled, experienced, non-judgmental and caring professional to help with understanding the issues and navigating them.
In therapy with me, your issues and problems emerge within the privacy of our therapeutic relationship. We focus on understanding your thoughts, feelings and the behaviors which may have previously soothed or masked difficult truths but have otherwise sabotaged you or obstructed your happiness and growth. There are always difficulties, conflicts, problems in life. This is the nature of existence. There is no shame in seeking help. It has been my humble pleasure to have helped many people navigate the struggles they endure. I would be honored to try and help you. Please contact me for a phone or email consultation.
