Thank you for visiting this website and learning about Dr. Shapiro. Dr. Shapiro looks forward to learning more about you too. Dr. Shapiro provides a variety of services including:

Initial Evaluations are typically 50 minutes in length. Dr. Shapiro may ask you to complete some forms in advance to help her get to know you better. She will then meet with you to listen to your story and find out why you called, what you’re struggling with, and how she can help you. By the end of the first or second session, she will put together a treatment plan with you, formulate goals, and work with you so that your ultimate goal is to not need therapy!

Individual Therapy - Sessions are typically weekly for 50 minutes. This is flexible depending on need and schedule.

Dr. Shapiro helps patients understand what is causing and maintaining their unhealthy relationship with food. Sometimes what caused the initial unhealthy relationship with food, eating, weight, or body image, a long time ago is very different than what is maintaining the behavior. Dr. Shapiro will help you identify your current triggers and help you learn ways to reduce and/or replace your unhealthy relationship with food/weight/body image with the overall goals of helping you feel better.

"While I enjoy meeting with my patients, I see myself as most successful when my patients "graduate" from therapy." – Dr. Jennifer S.

Dr. Shapiro is genuine, compassionate, and trusting. She takes her relationship with her patients very seriously and professionally but is also a very personable therapist in the room and has the ability to make her patients of various ages, ethnicities, and both genders feel comfortable.
