Hi there, I'm Shahar!

Aloha! As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where we can work together towards your well-being. My background includes a BA in Psychology from Wellesley College and a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

My focus

I may incorporate mindfulness and stress reduction techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness, allowing you to respond to challenges more effectively. My holistic perspective acknowledges that physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being are all interconnected. I can connect you with relevant resources to support your overall health.

My approach

My approach is strengths-based, meaning I focus on identifying your unique capabilities and resources to navigate challenges. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and overcoming difficulties. We'll work on developing coping skills and building your resilience so you can effectively respond to life's inevitable ups and downs.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. I listen deeply and ask thoughtful questions to help you explore your thoughts and emotions, and I provide honest, compassionate feedback when appropriate. I balance empathy with gentle challenge.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked with diverse populations across various settings, supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups through different life challenges. My experience has taught me that everyone's path is unique, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing.

My goals for you

Therapy isn't about eliminating all problems—life will always have challenges. My goal is to equip you with the tools to manage those challenges and view them as opportunities for learning and growth. Together, we can build your resilience and your belief in your ability to overcome anything.

Our first session

Our first session is all about getting to know each other and beginning to build a foundation of trust. I’ll start by briefly reviewing confidentiality and answering any questions you have about the therapy process. From there, I’ll invite you to share what brings you in, what you’re hoping to work on, and any background that feels important to you
